Michael Praetorius's Theology of Music in Syntagma Musicum I (1615): a Politically and Confessionally Motivated Defense of Instruments in the Lutheran Liturgy
MICHAEL PRAETORIUS'S THEOLOGY OF MUSIC IN SYNTAGMA MUSICUM I (1615): A POLITICALLY AND CONFESSIONALLY MOTIVATED DEFENSE OF INSTRUMENTS IN THE LUTHERAN LITURGY Zachary Alley A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2014 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Mary Natvig ii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor The use of instruments in the liturgy was a controversial issue in the early church and remained at the center of debate during the Reformation. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621), a Lutheran composer under the employment of Duke Heinrich Julius of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, made the most significant contribution to this perpetual debate in publishing Syntagma musicum I—more substantial than any Protestant theologian including Martin Luther. Praetorius's theological discussion is based on scripture, the discourse of early church fathers, and Lutheran theology in defending the liturgy, especially the use of instruments in Syntagma musicum I. In light of the political and religious instability throughout Europe it is clear that Syntagma musicum I was also a response—or even a potential solution—to political circumstances, both locally and in the Holy Roman Empire. In the context of the strengthening counter-reformed Catholic Church in the late sixteenth century, Lutheran territories sought support from Reformed church territories (i.e., Calvinists). This led some Lutheran princes to gradually grow more sympathetic to Calvinism or, in some cases, officially shift confessional systems. In Syntagma musicum I Praetorius called on Lutheran leaders—prince-bishops named in the dedication by territory— specifically several North German territories including Brandenburg and the home of his employer in Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, to maintain Luther's reforms and defend the church they were entrusted to protect, reminding them that their salvation was at stake. -
The Sources of the Christmas Interpolations in J. S. Bach's Magnificat in E-Flat Major (BWV 243A)*
The Sources of the Christmas Interpolations in J. S. Bach's Magnificat in E-flat Major (BWV 243a)* By Robert M. Cammarota Apart from changes in tonality and instrumentation, the two versions of J. S. Bach's Magnificat differ from each other mainly in the presence offour Christmas interpolations in the earlier E-flat major setting (BWV 243a).' These include newly composed settings of the first strophe of Luther's lied "Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her" (1539); the last four verses of "Freut euch und jubiliert," a celebrated lied whose origin is unknown; "Gloria in excelsis Deo" (Luke 2:14); and the last four verses and Alleluia of "Virga Jesse floruit," attributed to Paul Eber (1570).2 The custom of troping the Magnificat at vespers on major feasts, particu larly Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost, was cultivated in German-speaking lands of central and eastern Europe from the 14th through the 17th centu ries; it continued to be observed in Leipzig during the first quarter of the 18th century. The procedure involved the interpolation of hymns and popu lar songs (lieder) appropriate to the feast into a polyphonic or, later, a con certed setting of the Magnificat. The texts of these interpolations were in Latin, German, or macaronic Latin-German. Although the origin oftroping the Magnificat is unknown, the practice has been traced back to the mid-14th century. The earliest examples of Magnifi cat tropes occur in the Seckauer Cantional of 1345.' These include "Magnifi cat Pater ingenitus a quo sunt omnia" and "Magnificat Stella nova radiat. "4 Both are designated for the Feast of the Nativity.' The tropes to the Magnificat were known by different names during the 16th, 17th, and early 18th centuries. -

The Christology of Bach's St John Passion
PARADOSIS 3 (2016) ‘Zeig uns durch deine Passion’: The Christology of Bach’s St John Passion Andreas Loewe St Paul’s Cathedral Melbourne Melbourne Conservatorium of Music Introduction On a wet, early spring afternoon, on Good Friday 1724, the congregants of Leipzig’s Nikolaikirche witnessed the first performance of Bach’s St John Passion.1 For at least a generation, Good Friday in Leipzig’s principal Lutheran churches—St Thomas’, St Nikolai and the ‘New’ Church—had concluded with the singing of Johann Walter’s chanted Passion.2 As part of the final liturgical observance of the day, the story of the death of Jesus would be sung, combining words and music in order to reflect on the significance of that day. Bach took the proclamation of the cross to a new level – theologically and musically. Rather than use a poetic retelling of the Passion story as his textual basis, Bach made use of a single gospel account, matched with contemporary poems and traditional chorales to retell the trial and death of Jesus. By providing regular opportunities for theological reflection, he purposefully created a “sermon in sound” and so, in his music making, he closely mirrors Lutheran Baroque homiletic principles. An orthodox Lutheran believer throughout his life, Bach’s Passion serves as a vehicle to invite his listeners to make their own his belief that it was “through Christ’s agony and death” that “all the world’s 1 Andreas Elias Büchner, Johann Kanold, Vollständiges und accurates Universal-Register, Aller wichtigen und merckwürdigen Materien (Erfurt: Jungnicol, 1736), 680. 2 As popularised in Gottfried Vopelius, ed., Neu Leipziger Gesangbuch/ Von den schönsten und besten Liedern verfasset/ In welchem Nicht allein des sel. -

J. Ross University of Toronto Recommended Citation Ross, Adrian D. J. () "In coelo et in terra: Lutheran Theological Structure of theT roped Magnificats of Michael Praetorius’s Megalynodia Sionia," Nota Bene: Canadian Undergraduate Journal of Musicology: Vol. 10: Iss. 1, Article 2. In coelo et in terra: Lutheran Theological Structure of the Troped Magnificats of Michael Praetorius’s Megalynodia Sionia Abstract Michael Praetorius (1571–1621) ranks among the most prolific German musical figures of the seventeenth century. Despite his stature, many of his works, especially his earlier collections, remain largely understudied and underperformed. This paper examines one such early collection, the Megalynodia Sionia, composed in 1602, focussing on the relationship between formal structure of its first three Magnificat settings and the Lutheran theological ideal of uniting the Word of God with music. Structurally, these three Magnificats are distinguished by their interpolation of German chorales within the Latin text. In order to understand his motivations and influences behind the use of this technique unique at the time of composition, the paper explores Praetorius’s religious surroundings in both the personal and civic realms, revealing a strong tradition of orthodox Lutheran theology. To understand the music in light of this religious context, certain orthodox Lutheran liturgical practices are examined, in particular the Vespers service and alternatim, a compositional technique using alternating performing forces which Praetorius used to unite the Latin and German texts. -
The Treatment of the Chorale Wie Scan Leuchtet Der Iorgenstern in Organ Compositions from the Seven Teenth Century to the Twentieth Century
379 THE TREATMENT OF THE CHORALE WIE SCAN LEUCHTET DER IORGENSTERN IN ORGAN COMPOSITIONS FROM THE SEVEN TEENTH CENTURY TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By Paul Winston Renick, B. M. Denton, Texas August, 1961 PREFACE The chorale Wie schn iihtet derMorgenstern was popular from its very outset in 1589. That it has retained its popularity down to the present day is evident by its continually appearing in hymnbooks and being used as a cantus in organ compositions as well as forming the basis for other media of musical composition. The treatment of organ compositions based on this single chorale not only exemplifies the curiously novel attraction that this tune has held for composers, but also supplies a common denominator by which the history of the organ chorale can be generally stated. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE . * . * . * . * * * . * .

GOTT DER VATER WOHN UNS BEI from Musae Sioniae I, 1605 Double Choir Motet Arranged for Small Orchestra (Choir I: Woodwinds & Strings; Choir II: Brass)
Full Score from the library of the Concordia Sinfonietta Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) arr. Christian Guebert GOTT DER VATER WOHN UNS BEI from Musae Sioniae I, 1605 double choir motet arranged for small orchestra (Choir I: woodwinds & strings; Choir II: brass) Choir I Choir II Flute Trumpet I Clarinet Trumpet II Violin I Trombone I Violin II Trombone II Viola Bass Trombone or Tuba Cello Contrabass 2 About this arrangement: This edition is a true transcription, reflecting the original pitches, rhythms, and key. There are many instrumental combinations that work well in this setting. Conductors are encouraged to adapt to the needs of their ensembles. The Concordia Sinfonietta uses this arrangement on church outings with a small to medium sized string section, five brass (bass trombone preferred over tuba), and two woodwinds. The setting should work nicely for church and school orchestral ensembles. The rhythms and ranges of parts are accessible for intermediate amateur players. About the hymn: Luther chose an ancient medieval litany and reworked it into a hymn of invocation of the Holy Trinity. It appeared in the first Lutheran hymnal, the Geystliche gesangk Buchleyn of 1524. Praetorius turned it into a motet for double choir in 1605. His setting is arranged here, for a choir of brass and a choir of woodwinds and strings. Christian Guebert, a 2010 graduate of Concordia University Irvine, is a composer of a wide variety of works, including music for choirs, orchestras, handbells, and chamber music ensembles. He holds a Master of Music degree in Music Composition from California State University Fullerton (CSUF) and is studying composition in the doctoral degree program at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). -
A Pedal Study of Johann Sebastian Bach's Orgelbüchlein
A Pedal Study of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Orgelbüchlein A document proposal 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 Keyboard Division of the College-Conservatory of Music April, 2013 by Yoonnah L. Lee BM, Ewha Womans University, Korea, 2002 MM, University of Cincinnati, 2005 Committee Chair: Roberta Gary, DMA ABSTRACT This study explores diverse figures in the pedal passages in Johann Sebastian Bach’s Orgelbüchlein in order to improve pedal technique by a more effective practice style. The Orgelbüchlein has been thought to include easy pieces that are usually played by beginning students. One of the reasons for this belief is that the pieces are short. In fact, however, none of the chorale settings in the Orgelbüchlein are easy to play. Their various levels of difficulty and styles prove Bach’s pedagogical purpose. I will take full advantage of the obbligato pedal writing in the Orgelbüchlein to develop a pedal technique for music composed before 1750. This study provides pedal exercises according to level of difficulty with directions for practicing included. These pedal exercises based on the Orgelbüchlein will challenge organ students in the great variety they include. ii Copyright © 2013 by Yoonnah L. Lee.
