Audit___ Perform___ Piece______________________________________________________________________ (recorders only) a=440?___ 415?___ Accompanist needed?______ _____ Elizabethan and Jacobean Delights (Beckmann, Haas, Horst) The polyphonic richness of music from the age of Shakespeare, Elizabeth I, and King James is a delight for recorder players: sacred music of Tallis and Byrd; Madrigals of Weelkes, Wilbye, and Ward; fantasias of Coperario and Gibbons; consorts of John Dowland, and more. Explore this music from a fascinating period in English history. Larger recorders welcome! Intermediate to advanced recorders. _____ Spain, Portugal, and the New World (Petersen) With our usual emphasis on the Big Four (England, France, Germany, Italy), we often overlook the rich troves of music from the Iberian peninsula. Less than 30 years after Columbus’ voyage, missionaries from Spain and Portugal, in their efforts to convert the natives, brought vast amounts of music to the New World. We’ll sing and play music by well- and lesser-known Iberian and other composers, then see how their well-traveled music influenced composers in the southern colonies. Lush harmonies and Latin rhythms! Recorders (especially large ones), voices, viols, lutes, voices, dulcians welcome. A=440 ______ Music of Northern Italy (Kimball) Repertoire for loud wind players (piffari) in Northern Italy. Works by composers such as Costanzo Festa, Alessandro Striggio, Andrea Gabrieli, and others. For upper intermediate to advanced shawms, cornettos, and dulcians. _____Lute and Harp Continuo Class (Patton) This class will be geared towards students' individual levels and will include the use of 17th century treatises by composers such as Agazzari, Bianciardi, Penna, as well as drawing from repertoire as a source for improvised early Baroque instrumental accompaniment. Ground basses from the 16th and 17th century will be used to develop familiarity with period sonorities and voice-leading in accompaniment. _____Baroque Dance Technique (Mainz, Olsson) A gentle warm-up followed by a focus on step combinations from the sarabande, menuet, rigaudon, bourree, and other dance types. Second Period Classes 11:00-12:30 (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday) GIVE 1ST AND 2ND CHOICES! _____ Musical ABC’s (Beckmann, Gilbert, Haas, Petersen) Ottaviano Petrucci published the first prints of polyphonic music, starting with Odhecaton Canti A (1501), Motetti B, and Canti C. Franco-Flemish composers ca. 1500, especially master composer Josquin, wrote some of the most expressive polyphony of the Renaissance. Motets, love songs, lamentations, improvisational settings of tunes, all can be found in these collections. One section of this class will play on Renaissance recorders; let us know if you are interested. Intermediate to advanced recorders. _____Medieval Ensemble: Choose your Adventure! (Bearden) Explore the adventure of putting together Medieval music! We’ll work on adding drones or descants, text vs. instrumental, doubling voices, and other experiments you might want to try. Music will range from Notre Dame conductus and Montpellier Codex to Dufay and Brumel. For soft instruments, including voices, recorders, vielles, harps. _____Spanish Court and Chapel (Kimball, Verschuren) During the Siglo d’Oro, the 100 years beginning with Phillip II of Spain’s accession to the throne in 1556, wind playing flourished at the Spanish courts. Motets, villancicos, French chansons, and canzonas were all part of the Spanish wind band repertoire. For cornetto, shawm, sackbut, dulcian. Intermediate to Advanced. _____Chanson et Fantasie (Terry) Enjoy playing luscious French-texted works and instrumental pieces on viols. Works by Busnois, Josquin, Sandrin, Lasso, du Caurroy, LeJeune and Mouliniè. All viols welcome! _____Baroque Orchestra: Telemann’s La Bourse Suite (Harris, G.Roberts, Schelhase) 300 years ago, Telemann witnessed the 1720 panic at the Frankfurt stock exchange when the Mississippi Bubble burst, an experience he turned into a suite called “La Bourse,” or “The Stock Exchange.” For Baroque violin, viola, cello, viol, oboe, flute, recorder, bassoon, double bass, and continuo. A=415. Advanced. Participants must stay for concert on Monday at 12:30. _____ The Art of 17th and 18th Keyboard Improvisation (Cok) A class devoted to better understanding the art of keyboard improvisation in the 17th and 18th centuries. Class time will be divided between a theoretical and a hands-on approach, touching on treatises as well as repertoire. Students will be provided with hand-outs/exercises taken from both historical and modern method books. We will spend time on improvising above ostinato bass lines, basso continuo, partimenti, ornamentation, and stylistic improvisation. Lots of fun! All levels welcome! _____Advanced Viol Ensemble (Cunningham) By audition or permission of the instructor only. Advanced viols. _____Voices and Continuo Project (Baird, Patton) Coaching sessions for special project.

This class will explore the music of Costanzo Festa, Claudio Merulo, organist Andrea Gabrieli, his nephew Giovanni Gabrieli, Girolamo Frescobaldi, and others. Intermediate to advanced recorders. _____ Beyond Machaut (Petersen) What was happening musically between the death of master composer Guillaume Machaut in 1377 and the second quarter of the 15th century? We’ll explore music by little-known composers pushing against the strictures of the middle ages, leading to the great flowering of the Renaissance that had its beginnings in the music of Guillaume Dufay. All soft instruments, voices, recorders, flutes, vielles, viols, harps, lutes. A=440 _____ Copenhagen Part Books and the Music of North German (Verschuren) The Copenhagen Part Books contain a large number of compositions played by wind players at the court in Copenhagen.

  • The Motets of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli in the Rokycany Music Collection
    Musica Iagellonica 2017 ISSN 1233–9679 Kateřina Maýrová (Czech Museum of Music, Prague) The motets of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli in the Rokycany Music Collection This work provides a global survey on the Italian music repertoire contained in the music collection that is preserved in the Roman-Catholic parish of Roky- cany, a town located near Pilsen in West-Bohemia, with a special regard to the polychoral repertoire of the composers Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli and their influence on Bohemian cori-spezzati compositions. The mutual comparison of the Italian and Bohemian polychoral repertoire comprises also a basic compara- tion with the most important music collections preserved in the area of the so- called historical Hungarian Lands (today’s Slovakia), e.g. the Bardejov [Bart- feld / Bártfa] (BMC) and the Levoča [Leutschau / Löcse] Music Collections. From a music-historical point of view, the Rokycany Music Collection (RMC) of musical prints and manuscripts stemming from the second half of the 16th to the first third of the 17th centuries represents a very interesting complex of music sources. They were originally the property of the Rokycany litterati brotherhood. The history of the origin and activities of the Rokycany litterati brother- hood can be followed only in a very fragmentary way. 1 1 Cf. Jiří Sehnal, “Cantionál. 1. The Czech kancionál”, in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, ed. Stanley Sadie, 29 vols. (London–New York: Macmillan, 20012), vol. 5: 59–62. To the problems of the litterati brotherhoods was devoted the conference, held in 2004 65 Kateřina Maýrová The devastation of many historical sites during the Thirty Years War, fol- lowed by fires in 1728 and 1784 that destroyed much of Rokycany and the church, resulted in the loss of a significant part of the archives.

  • Exploring Implications of the Double Attribution of the Madrigal “Canzon Se L’Esser Meco” to Andrea Gabrieli and Orlande De Lassus
    A 16th Century Publication Who-Dun-it: Exploring implications of the double attribution of the madrigal “Canzon se l’esser meco” to Andrea Gabrieli and Orlande de Lassus. Karen Linnstaedter Strange, MM A Double Attribution Why was a single setting of “Canzon se l’esser meco” published in 1584 and 1589 under different composers’ names? For centuries, music history has ascribed this setting of a text from a Petrarchan madrigale to either Orlande de Lassus or Andrea Gabrieli, depending on the publication. It has been assumed the two original publications contain distinct creations of “Canzon se l’esser meco,” and to support this confusion, slight differences in notation between the two modern editions induce an initial perception that the two pieces differ. (See Figures 1A & 1B.). With a few moments of comparison, one can see that the madrigal published under Orlande de Lassus’ name in 1584 is the same piece attributed to Andrea Gabrieli by a different publisher five years later. In fact, no difference exists in the original publications beyond incidental choices by the two publishers, such as the number of notes printed per line and the notation for repeated accidentals. 1 (See Figures 2-5 A & B.) Suppositions and Presumptions The exactness of the two publications provokes interesting questions about issues of personal composer relations and influence, study by copying, and misattribution. In exploring all the possibilities, some quite viable, others farfetched, we can perhaps gain a clearer overview of the issues involved. On the less viable side, perhaps the piece was written simultaneously by each composer and, through some miracle, the two pieces turned out to be exactly the same.

  • Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
    Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

  • Some Historical Perspectives on the Monteverdi Vespers
    CHAPTER V SOME HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE MONTEVERDI VESPERS It is one of the paradoxes of musicological research that we generally be- come acquainted with a period, a repertoire, or a style through recognized masterworks that are tacitly or expressly assumed to be representative, Yet a masterpiece, by definition, is unrepresentative, unusual, and beyond the scope of ordinary musical activity. A more thorough and realistic knowledge of music history must come from a broader and deeper ac- quaintance with its constituent elements than is provided by a limited quan- tity of exceptional composers and works. Such an expansion of the range of our historical research has the advan- tage not only of enhancing our understanding of a given topic, but also of supplying the basis for comparison among those works and artists who have faded into obscurity and the few composers and masterpieces that have sur- vived to become the primary focus of our attention today. Only in relation to lesser efforts can we fully comprehend the qualities that raise the master- piece above the common level. Only by comparison can we learn to what degree the master composer has rooted his creation in contemporary cur- rents, or conversely, to what extent original ideas and techniques are re- sponsible for its special features. Similarly, it is only by means of broader investigations that we can detect what specific historical influence the mas- terwork has had upon contemporaries and younger colleagues, and thereby arrive at judgments about the historical significance of the master com- poser. Despite the obvious importance of systematic comparative studies, our comprehension of many a masterpiece stiIl derives mostly from the artifact itself, resulting inevitably in an incomplete and distorted perspective.

  • PROGRAM NOTES on Air Downtown Dubuque WILLIAM INTRILIGATOR, Music Director & Conductor
    SAT Nov 17 at 7:30pm SUN Nov 18 at 2:00pm anniversary concert season Five Flags Theater PROGRAM NOTES on air Downtown Dubuque WILLIAM INTRILIGATOR, Music Director & Conductor This concert continues the 2018-19 season’s theme of the Four Elements with music evoking “Air.” Mostly, this theme is explored through music for the wind instruments — brass and woodwinds — whose sounds are produced through the pressure and flow of air. Canzon Septimi Toni No. 2 During the 16th and 17th centuries, no city in Italy — and probably no city in Europe — had a musical tradition that rivaled that of Venice. With its immense wealth, the city developed a highly ornate style of music for both voices and instruments that suited its taste for ceremonies and festivals. And much of its greatest music was inspired by the acoustical properties of its Giovanni Gabrieli most famous edifice, the richly Byzantine St. Mark’s Basilica. (c. 1555-1612) The greatest composer of the Venetian High Renaissance, Giovanni Gabrieli spent most of his Instrumentation: life in and around St. Mark’s, finally becoming its chief organist and music director from 1585 4 horns, 4 trumpets, until his death in 1612. His uncle and teacher, Andrea Gabrieli, had preceded him in the post 4 trombone, 2 tuba and was almost as illustrious a creator. Building on Andrea’s innovations, Giovanni developed a spectacular style of music for both voices and instruments that gloried in the dramatic antiphonal effects that could be created by ensembles divided among the cathedral’s upper galleries. Today we still prize Gabrieli for having composed some of the most thrilling music ever devised for brass instruments.

  • The Dating and Provenance of Bologna, Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale, MS Q 19
    The Dating and Provenance of Bologna, Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale, MS Q 19 ROBERT NOSOW It ha, now been mm·e than twenty yea" 'ince the publication of Edward E. Lowinsky's edition of the Medici Co­ dex.' The theses presented by Lowinsky concerning the Medici Co­ dex and concerning Bologna, Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale, 92 MS Q 19, "the Rusconi Codex," have occasioned much comment and stimulated substantial new research. Most of the discussion concern­ ing Q 19 has been tied to the hypotheses set out by Lowinsky, and less has been said about the general problems presented by the manu­ script.2 In view of the recent publication of the manuscript in the Garland series of Renaissance Music in Facsimile, the time is ripe to synthesize some of the subsequent research findings-mostly pub­ lished as reviews of or responses to Lowinsky-and to add new evi­ dence that may present a solution to the problems of dating and provenance.'~ The question of the provenance of Q 19 has aroused a great deal of debate not only because of the importance of the collection, but because it offers so many different clues. I will deal briefly with the relevant aspects of physical structure and organization. The manu­ script comprises 211 paper folios, with 7 preliminary folios, 202 folios with original numeration in ink on the top right hand corner of each ' Edward E.
