Recorder Notes SEATTLE RECORDER SOCIETY Recorder Notes October 2016 Vol. XLVIII, No. 2 www.seattle-recorder.org From the Music Director (Vicki Boeckman) SRS Meeting Greetings, One and All, Friday, Johann Mattheson wrote in his memoirs that as October 7th, 2016 a young boy, he thought the sound of the recorder to be the sweetest in the world. Well, it certainly was at last @ 7:30 pm month's meeting! I cannot express enough what a pleasure it is and was to stand in front of such a won- derful group. The sound was absolutely magnificent with about 50 players, including three contrabasses and bass Opening Program viol. Truly glorious! Flutes-en-Bois (See next page for details.) For the October session I've chosen music that relates to water in one way or another. (I promise it won't be Handel's Water Music!!) We will start with Erik Pearson’s “Leaves in the River” from 2005, a gently moving through-composed piece with a simple melody and many passing disso- Playing Session nances. Then we will segue into “La Gondoletta,” an adorable, light-hearted (Vicki Boeckman) little Venetian folk tune in a 6-part arrangement by Irmhild Beutler that has Music relating to water a rather perky sopranino part . just in case anyone wants first dibs. I can't imagine doing a program that has a theme of water without a piece by (Pearson, Beutler, Frances Blaker, so we will play Frances' “In Sight of the Ocean.” I find certain Blaker, and Jobim) similarities in Frances Blaker’s works as in Purcell's in that they both write (wrote) their most beautiful melodies and harmonies over ground basses. “In Sight of the Ocean” was written in honor of the Oregon Coast Recorder All sizes of recorders from Society's director, Corlu Collier, a rather remarkable woman about whom you soprano to contrabass will hear more at the meeting. We will end the evening with a piece by Carlos are needed, and viols Jobim, brilliantly arranged for recorders by Phil Neuman, “Wave.” Perhaps are always welcome. a bit of a stretch to include since the lyrics refer to catching the wave of love as opposed to an actual wave of water, but the piece is really great and sure to please.

Cookies Ruth Pattison Wasn’t it hilarious how we went from ingénue, so coy, Karen Soma to wife, mother, grandmother in those sweet inner movements, and now this final allegro, still hundreds of measures to go, Fruits Nancy Lewis So urgent, building on the opening andante, restating the themes, childhood, with the overpowering father, or with your best friend, Veggies childhood, where you mastered patience, until your next grand entrance.

Also, see my new fledgling websites: www.seattlerecorders.com and www.threeringsmusic.com Remembering Frances DeGermain (1924-2016) Frances DeGermain started to play recorder in 1969. She joined the Seattle Recorder Society right away and became president in 1970. Following her two-year term, she became treasurer, in which position she continued until the 1990’s. However, she was far more than a treasurer. Among her many contributions to the recorder society, she typed the monthly newsletter, did the mailing, kept the membership records, and contributed her incisive thoughts at board meetings. She attended numerous summer workshops, played regularly with several recorder ensembles, and hosted frequent musical gatherings in her Capitol Hill home. Whenever Frances was present, the atmosphere was lively due to her astute comments. —Peter Seibert For several decades, five of us recorder players met every Wednesday to play Renaissance music: Naomi Shiff, Sharon Young, Barbara Chasan, Frances, and I. We all had Ohannesian Renaissance recorders. We would traipse down the alley to Sharon’s house carrying our recorder cases. David had procured gun cases, installed foam lining, and carefully carved out the shape of each recorder we owned so that they would nest nicely. I don’t know what the neighbors thought. “Do those elderly ladies belong to the NRA, or what?” At some point Cathy Taruskin began to teach us to read white mensural notation (AKA “o.n.” for “old notation”) so that we could play from facsimile collections. Some of these collections were Latin vocal music (wonderful Byrd and Tallis), and others were Italian madrigals, so we did our best to figure out the meaning, and when we got stumped Naomi’s son Jonathan would untangle it for us.

    EARLY MUSIC NOW WITH SARA SCHNEIDER Broadcast Schedule — Summer 2020 PROGRAM #: EMN 20-01 RELEASE: June 22, 2020 Treasures from Wolfenbüttel Starting in the late Renaissance, the court at Wolfenbüttel in northern Germany emerged as a cultural center. The dukes of the house of Welf employed high-profile composers like Michael Praetorius to increase their prestige, but lesser masters like Daniel Selichius made their mark as well. In this edition of Early Music Now, we'll hear from both composers, with performances by the Huelgas Ensemble and Weser-Renaissance Bremen. PROGRAM #: EMN 20-02 RELEASE: June 29, 2020 Those Talented Purcells This week's show focuses on Henry Purcell, and his lesser-known brother (or cousin) Daniel. We'll hear chamber music by both composers, plus selections from the semiopera they worked on together: The Indian Queen, from a 2015 release by The Sixteen. PROGRAM #: EMN 20-03 RELEASE: July 6, 2020 The Lost Voices of Hagia Sophia This week's program showcases an extraordinary recent release from the Portland-based ensemble Cappella Romana. This recording of medieval Byzantine chant composed for Hagia Sophia was recorded entirely in live, virtual acoustics, and soared to #1 on Billboard's Traditional Classical chart! These evocative sounds linger in the soul long after the music fades. PROGRAM #: EMN 20-04 RELEASE: July 13, 2020 Salomone Rossi: Revolutionary Jewish composer Salomone Rossi was a musician who served the Gonzaga court in Mantua. They valued him so highly that he was given a relatively large amount of personal freedom, while other members of the Jewish faith were restricted.

  • Melos of the Undivided Church. Notes on the Interchurch Researches of Early Music
    84 Релігієзнавство.Соціальна філософія Теологія DOI: 10.21847/1728-9343.2019.5(163).180794 DARIA MOROZOVA, National Dragomanov Pedagogical University (Kyiv, Ukraine) e-mail: [email protected], ORCID 0000-0001-5646-2851 MELOS OF THE UNDIVIDED CHURCH. NOTES ON THE INTERCHURCH RESEARCHES OF EARLY MUSIC New attention towards the ancient Church chant is especially on time in today's Ukraine, where the renewed autocephalous Church is entering the global Christian community, looking back at its own historical and liturgical roots and trying to overcome the stereotypes about its tradition. The present article deals with the myths of different Christian musical traditions concerning themselves and their neighbors. Such myths implicitly express the yearning for the lost unity of the Church and condemn the Other for this loss. Hence they continue the dogmatic polemics in the domain of aesthetics. As we have demonstrated, such myths were constructed by the 19th-20th centuries historiographies of Church chant as an ideological impetus for the renewal of the relevant traditions. However "positive" mythologization of one's own chanting tradition, firstly, retouched those dimensions of its image that were underestimated at that time, and secondly, often denigrated the neighbor traditions. So, the one-sidedness of such mythologization has provoked some modern cantors to engage into the joint reconstruction of authentic history of music together with their foreign colleagues. In this paper such collegial reconstructions - theoretical as well as practical - were for the first time assessed as an important dimension of interconfessional and interchurch dialogue. As we tried to show, they are not less necessary than the discussions in dogmatic field and their fruits are much more powerful than any "musical Esperanto" of popular Christian hymns.
