  • On the Question of the Baroque Instrumental Concerto Typology
    Musica Iagellonica 2012 ISSN 1233-9679 Piotr WILK (Kraków) On the question of the Baroque instrumental concerto typology A concerto was one of the most important genres of instrumental music in the Baroque period. The composers who contributed to the development of this musical genre have significantly influenced the shape of the orchestral tex- ture and created a model of the relationship between a soloist and an orchestra, which is still in use today. In terms of its form and style, the Baroque concerto is much more varied than a concerto in any other period in the music history. This diversity and ingenious approaches are causing many challenges that the researches of the genre are bound to face. In this article, I will attempt to re- view existing classifications of the Baroque concerto, and introduce my own typology, which I believe, will facilitate more accurate and clearer description of the content of historical sources. When thinking of the Baroque concerto today, usually three types of genre come to mind: solo concerto, concerto grosso and orchestral concerto. Such classification was first introduced by Manfred Bukofzer in his definitive monograph Music in the Baroque Era. 1 While agreeing with Arnold Schering’s pioneering typology where the author identifies solo concerto, concerto grosso and sinfonia-concerto in the Baroque, Bukofzer notes that the last term is mis- 1 M.

  • Toccata Classics TOCC0202 Notes
    P GIACOMO FACCO: A VENETIAN MUSICIAN AHEAD OF HIS TIME by Betty Luisa Zanolli Fabila Facco is the composer whom I most admire: not only was he the last paladin of the pre-Classical, he looked upon the threshold of 1770 and didn’t perceive the ‘Baroque’ that encircled it. He projected himself towards a future unknown to him and which, a century after, was to be called nineteenth-century Romanticism. His ‘adagios’ and cantatas are the proof. Uberto Zanolli1 Giacomo Facco (1676–1753) is a missing link in the history of music, a musician whose work had to wait 250 years to be rescued from oblivion. This is the story. At the beginning of the 1960s Gonzalo Obregón, curator of the Archive of the Vizcainas College in Mexico City, was organising a cupboard in the compound when suddenly he was hit by a package falling from one of the shelves. It was material he had never seen before, something not included in the catalogue of documents in the College, and completely different in nature from the other materials contained in the Archive: a set of ten little books bound in leather, which contained the parts of a musical work, the Pensieri Adriarmonici o vero Concerti a cinque, Tre Violini, Alto Viola, Violoncello e Basso per il Cembalo, Op. 1 of Giacomo Facco. Obregón’s interest was piqued in knowing who this composer was and why his works were in the Archive. He went to a friend, Luis Vargas y Vargas, a doctor of radiology by profession and an amateur of music and painting, but he had no idea who Facco might have been, either.

Program notes for Camerata Milwaukee for Dec 2, 2018 Our Advent-tide program this year includes several solo vocal cantatas, works by two Ursuline nuns, three Italian Christmas concertos, and various other baroque delights. Giuseppe Torelli is primarily known as a member of the Bolognese school of violinists and composers. He helped shape the genres of concerto and sonata into their mature forms under a variety of names, such as tonight’s “sinfonias”, which were published in 1692 as part of his Opus 5. Rather than the larger works which later came to be associated with this term, these two pieces are examples of trio sonatas scored for two violinists and basso continuo (a harpsichordist or organist who fills in the chordal structure plus a cellist reinforcing the bass line). The Italian nun Isabella Leonarda entered the Collegio di Sant'Orsola—an Ursuline convent in her hometown of Novara in northern Italy near Milan— at the age of sixteen.

  • Queen of Heaven Music of Isabella Leonarda in Honor of the Virgin Mary
    Classical Music Agency 33 W 60TH Street, Lib1-8 New York, NY 10023 Tel: +1-917-572-6859 DCA License #: 0897404 AGAVE BAROQUE REGINALD MOBLEY, countertenor Queen of Heaven Music of Isabella Leonarda in Honor of the Virgin Mary Although the Roman Catholic establishment did not accept the Divine Feminine as orthodoxy, within the walls of many convents in 17th century Italy, nuns ascribed to the Blessed Virgin Mary her own trinity, venerating her as Maiden, Mother, and Queen of Heaven. They also cultivated an unorthodox tradition of making music at a time when women typically had neither the education nor the freedom to write and perform music at a professional level. Anna Isabella Leonarda was born to a wealthy family who opted to send their daughter to spend her life as a nun rather than having to pay a hefty marriage dowry. Leonarda entered the Collegio di Sant’Orsola at sixteen, where she received a solid musical education and lived a fairly privileged life within her order, rising to be- come Mother Superior in her sixties, and dying a local celebrity at the age of 84. Leonarda published 20 volumes of music over a sixty year career––a worthy accomplishment for any 17th century com- poser, let alone a woman in an age of repression. Leonarda was an accomplished poet, and most probably wrote the texts to the three motets on this album. Her poetry is intimate, deeply personal, and speaks to the central place the Virgin Mary held in the worship life of the Ursuline sisters. Leonarda’s collection of instrumental music, published in 1693, includes the earliest known sonata for solo violin and basso continuo written by a female composer.

Finding Their Voice: Women Musicians of Baroque Italy Faith Poynor emale musicians began to achieve greater freedom and indepen- dence from men during the Baroque period, and their music and Fcreative talent consequently began to flourish. Due to the rise in popularity of female vocal ensembles that resulted after the establishment of the con- certo delle donne in 1580, women composers in early modern Italy gained greater access to musical training previously only available to men or nuns. As seen by the works of composers and singers such as Francesca Caccini and Barbara Strozzi, this led to an unprecedented increase in women’s mu- sical productivity, particularly in vocal music. The rise of female vocal ensembles in the early Baroque period was a pivotal moment in women’s music history, as women finally achieved wide- spread recognition for their talents as musicians.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 1 April 2003 A PILGRIMAGE TO IOWA As I sat in the United Airways terminal of O’Hare International Airport, waiting for the recently bankrupt carrier to locate and then install an electric starter for the no. 2 engine, my mind kept returning to David Lodge’s description of the modern academic conference. In Small World (required airport reading for any twenty-first century academic), Lodge writes: “The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement.” He continues by listing the “penitential exercises” which normally accompany the enterprise, though, oddly enough, he omits airport delays. To be sure, the companionship in the terminal (which included nearly a dozen conferees) was anything but penitential, still, I could not help wondering if the delay was prophecy or merely a glitch. The Maryland Handel Festival was a tough act to follow and I, and perhaps others, were apprehensive about whether Handel in Iowa would live up to the high standards set by its august predecessor. In one way the comparison is inappropriate. By the time I started attending the Maryland conference (in the early ‘90’s), it was a first-rate operation, a Cadillac among festivals. Comparing a one-year event with a two-decade institution is unfair, though I am sure in the minds of many it was inevitable. Fortunately, I feel that the experience in Iowa compared very favorably with what many of us had grown accustomed Frontispiece from William Coxe, Anecdotes fo George Frederick Handel and John Christopher Smith to in Maryland.
