  • Zarlinian Modality in Claude Le Jeune's Dodecacorde Jessica
    Zarlinian Modality in Claude Le Jeune’s Dodecacorde Jessica Herdman It is widely acknowledged that Claude Le Jeune was exalted among his contemporaries for his facility in modal composition – a reputation that he purposefully exploited through the publication of modally organized works. “According to his friend Artus Thomas and the organist Jehan Titelouze, Le Jeune excelled his predecessors in his understanding of the modes, as illustrated by… two airs performed during the wedding festivities of the Duke of Joyeuse in 1581.”1 Even in the present day, with the controversial discussion of the possible polemic between the theory and practice of mode during the Renaissance, scholars frequently point to Claude Le Jeune’s Octonaires and Dodecacorde as exemplary of a purposeful theoretical- practical union. Both of these works were explicitly intended to represent contemporary conceptions of modality; in particular, the Dodecacorde espoused an affiliation with the modal theory presented by Zarlino in his 1573 edition of Le Institutioni harmoniche.2 1 Frank Dobbins and Isabell His, “Claude Le Jeune” Grove Music Online, ed. L. Macy, http://www.grovemusic.com (accessed No- vember 8, 2007). 2 Claude Le Jeune, Dodecacorde, ed. Anne Harrinton Heider (Madi- son: A-R Editions, 1989), xvi. Heider explains that, while the name of the work, Dodecacorde, would imply an alliance with Glarean’s own theoretical Dodecacorde, Le Jeune’s modal ordering is purposely Zarlinian, placing Ionian (C–C) as the first mode (Glarean’s expansion of the modal system retained

  • The Migration of Protestant Music in European Culture
    The Migration of Protestant Music in European Culture Cristian Caraman ABSTRACT: The migration of musical art forms, from one nation to another, from one century to another and from one cultural context to another was a historical panacea of humanity. Through music, the Christian faith has managed to keep the dialogue open amongst the main Christian orientations—Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant/Evangelical. This article links the beginnings of protestant music, during the XIV and XVI centuries, to the spiritual manifestations that shaped the protestant music throughout history. A very important piece of the reformation is the Protestant chorale. The chorale brought forth the ideology of the reformation and gave life to the esthetic ideas of the humanists. The invention of the printing press in Krakow in 1475 helped spreading the teachings of Protestantism. KEY WORDS: Reformation, Protestant music, humanism, Chorale, Protestant, Christian faith. The Spread of Protestantism in Europe ach branch of the Reformation was deeply affected by Humanism. EMartin Luther used the Greek New Testament edited by Erasmus, perfecting the understanding of Pauline theology, and Huldrych Zwingli, John Calvin, Philipp Melanchthon and Théodore Bèze were initiated in the humanist studies prior to embracing Protestantism. The Reformation, regarded as a transitional period between the late Middle Ages and the Modern Era, is characterized by the development 267 268 HARVARD SQUARE SYMPOSIUM 2/2016 | THE PHENOMENON OF MIGRATION of a new type of culture, which has struggled to survive, while the old model was equally struggling not to perish. The Reformation is a religious movement initiated by Martin Luther, which led to the emergence of a new Christian community independent of the Roman Catholic Church, and a new type of religiosity, Protestantism.

W. NORTON AND COMPANY Ƌ ƋĐƋ W. W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program—trade books and college texts— were firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and today—with a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles published each year—W.

Our program of 16th and 17th century French song (chansons) and dances is a case in point. The invention ofthe printing press in the late 15th century had a dramatic effect on the accessibility of music. Publishers such as Pierre Attaingnant in Paris, Tielman Susato and Christopher Plantin in Antwerp, Ottaviano Petrucci in Venice, Jacques Moderne in Lyons and Pierre Phalese in Louvain turned out many collections ofchansons, motets, masses, psalms and dances.

  • A Singer's Guide to Performing Two Baroque Cantatas: Barbara
    A Singer’s Guide to Performing Two Baroque Cantatas: Barbara Strozzi’s L’Astratto, Op. 8, No. 4, and Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre’s Le Sommeil d’Ulisse A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music May 2012 by Youngmi Kim BM, Ewha Womans University, 2000 MM, University of Cincinnati, 2003 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT The secular cantata was one of the most popular genres in vocal chamber music during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Similar to opera in its musical style and dramatic narrative, the Baroque cantata developed in Italy during the seventeenth century, changing from a multi-sectional movement with quick alternations between recitative, arioso, and aria to a multi-movement piece with several pairs of recitatives and da capo arias by the 1680s. This study is a performer’s guide to Barbara Strozzi’s L’Astratto (1664), Op. 8, No. 4 and Elizabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre’s Le Sommeil d’Ulisse (1715). A comparison of two cantatas by women composers, one from mid-seventeenth-century Italy and the other from early eighteenth century France, allows for a study of different forms, singing styles, ornamentation, instrumentation, and the relationship between text and music in the genre’s development over a half-century. This document aids singers in programming this genre and discovering the music of two of the cantata’s most gifted composers.
