The instruments we play are made by Thomas Prescott and are copies of surviving instruments in the collection of the Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum. Our program today shows the development of Renaissance music from the 14th through 17th centuries and showcases some of the greatest composers of the time. The Artists Elizabeth Young hangs around the house supposedly making order out of chaos. When domestication palls, she plays with the Roseville Community Concert Band (trombone) and takes regular lessons in sackbut (Renaissance trombone) with David Hogan Smith. She also sings in a madrigal group. Glenn McGregor is gainfully employed as a technical engineering manager. Glenn McGregor studies sackbut with David Hogan Smith and also sings in a madrigal group. Kathryn Canan also plays baroque flute and recorder with Baroque and Beyond, and Renaissance music with the New Queen’s Ha’Penny Consort. Her CD of thirteenth century English music with Briddes Roune is available at www.magnatune.com . She also plays modern flute and piccolo for Light Opera Theatre of Sacramento and Runaway Stage Productions. She teaches recorder, early flutes, and Latin in her home studio. Mark Schiffer performs on recorders and other early instruments with the New Queen’s Ha’Penny Consort, Baroque and Beyond, and the contemporary group Uncorked. In a previous life he was a high school biology teacher, and he finds the fields of molecular biology and early music to be both complementary and metaphorically similar to each other. For more information about the early music world of Sacramento and northern California, please see the websites of the Sacramento Recorder Society (www.sacrecorders.org ) and the San Francisco Early Music Society ( www.sfems.org ). The Sacramento Recorder Society is an adult education organization that welcomes players of all levels. Program Notes In our program today, we have interspersed earlier sets from the fourteenth century with later music of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries in order to show the differences in style and harmony. Harmony in the earlier music tends to be fourths, fifths, and octaves, and pieces seldom have more than three parts. Later music includes major and minor thirds and moves toward the major/minor tonality of later Western music. The lines of Renaissance polyphony are independent melodies intertwining with each other, rather than the melody and accompaniment of baroque music which is shown in the last piece by Claudio Monteverdi . In short, if a piece sounds odd, check the date. Writing in the style known as Ars Nova, Guillaume Machaut is largely responsible for the establishment of the polyphonic genres known as the ballade, rondeau and virelai. The love song Gais et Jolis is a ballade, a French verse form of three stanzas with the rhyme scheme ababbcbC. Most of the surviving pieces of Francesco Landini , an Italian organist, are two and three-part secular ballate. Johannes Ciconia was a Franco-Flemish composer born in Liège, but he worked in Italy, chiefly for Pope Boniface IX in Rome and at the cathedral in Padua. Una panthera concerns the mythical founding of the city of Lucca by an armored panther and the war god Mars. Several Franco-Flemish composers dominated the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; born in the Low Countries, they traveled throughout Europe disseminating their style. Josquin des Prez served in the courts of René, Duke of Anjou, and Louis XI, where he may have met Johannes Ockeghem . He spent many years in Italy with the Sforza family in Milan, and Pope Innocent III; he returned to northern France as provost of the church in Condé-sur-l’Escaut. Vive le Roy was probably written for Louis XII of France; he shares Mille Regretz about abandoning a lover, and the frottula El Grillo urges listeners to give the Cricket a drink so that he can keep singing. Heinrich Isaac , like Josquin, spent much of his professional life in Italy, at the court of the Medici in Florence, and he also served the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. The German/Swiss composer Ludwig Senfl succeeded Isaac in that position and was probably one of his students. Jacob Obrecht , after a series of jobs in the Netherlands, took a position with the Duke of Ferrara which Josquin had left after a year, thus it was he and not Josquin who was claimed by the plague. Orlando de Lassus , born in Belgium, worked in Mantua, Milan, Naples, and Rome before returning to the court of Albrecht V, Duke of Bavaria in Munich. Lassus wrote over 2,000 works in all Latin, French, Italian and German vocal genres known in his time. Moving into the seventeenth century, Don Carlo Gesualdo was best known for his searingly intense five-part madrigals and sacred music written for the less cheerful days of Holy Week—Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. His wild chromaticism may portray the pain and guilt that tortured him for the rest of his life after he murdered his first wife and her lover. We have followed one of his dances with a more conventional galliard by Claude Gervaise for comparison. William Byrd was a chorister in the Chapel Royal and a student of and later colleague of Thomas Tallis. He was named organist and master of choristers of Lincoln Cathedral at the age of 20, where he wrote most of his works in English and music for Anglican services, although he remained Catholic himself. He was appointed a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal for Elizabeth I. The Cistercian monk Jacob Handl (equally well known as Gallus ) was born in Slovenia as Jakob Petelin ("rooster", which translates to Handl in German and Gallus in Latin). Vittoria Aleotti was a musical prodigy born in Ferrara, sent at the age of 6 or 7 to the convent San Vito for further training as a musician. At 14 she became a nun and most likely took the name Raffaela; afterward she published only sacred music. She played organ, harpsichord, trombone, and other instruments, and she led the choir at the convent. .

Father-son pairs appear throughout the epic, though not surprisingly it is in the depictions of AeneasÕs behavior to- wards his father, Anchises, that the theme of Þlial devotion, with all its emotional and ethical associations, emerges most forcefully. Medieval 406 and renaissance commentators interested in explicating the poem as a Christianized moral or spiritual allegory at times measure AeneasÕs progress against the backdrop of his relationship with his father, a rela- tionship that outlasts even AnchisesÕs death. Indeed, for many readers, ancient and modern alike, AeneasÕs actions following his fatherÕs death constitute the most signiÞcant

  • Gimell Records - Jacob Obrecht - Missa Maria Zart
    Gimell Records - Jacob Obrecht - Missa Maria zart To describe Obrecht's Missa Maria zart (Mass for Gentle Mary) as a 'great work' is true in two respects. It is a masterpiece of sustained and largely abstract musical thought; and it is possibly the longest polyphonic setting of the Mass Ordinary ever written, over twice the length of the more standard examples by Palestrina and Josquin. How it was possible for Obrecht to conceive something so completely outside the normal experience of his time is one of the most fascinating riddles in Renaissance music. Jacob Obrecht (1457/8-1505) was born in Ghent and died in Ferrara. If the place of death suggests that he was yet another Franco-Flemish composer who received his training in the Low Countries and made his living in Italy, this is inaccurate. For although Obrecht was probably the most admired living composer alongside Josquin des Prés, he consistently failed to find employment in the Italian Renaissance courts. The reason for this may have been that he could not sing well enough: musicians at that time were primarily required to perform, to which composing took second place. Instead he was engaged by churches in his native land, in Utrecht, Bergen op Zoom, Cambrai, Bruges and Antwerp before he finally decided in 1504 to take the risk and go to the d'Este court in Ferrara. Within a few months of arriving there he had contracted the plague. He died as the leading representative of Northern polyphonic style, an idiom which his Missa Maria zart explores to the full.

  • David Fallows Lnfluences on Josquin
    David Fallows lnfluences on Josquin Five hundred years ago Ottaviano Petrucci published a book with the simple title Misse Josquin. That may be the first such Statement of auctoritas in music. Earlier monographic volumes were devoted to the work of Guillaume de Ma- chaut and Adam de la Halle, for example, but these were part of a literary tradi- tion, containing primarily poetry: there are many manuscript books devoted to the work of a single poet or literary figure, reaching back hundreds of years before Petrucci's Misse ]osquin. But there is almost no evidence of such books in music before September 1502. One could say the same about the history of ascriptions in music. Before about 1400 any such ascriptions in the musical sources are again within a lite- rary tradition - for exan1ple in the troubadour and trouvere manuscripts - and may in most cases acrually concern the poet rather than the composer. Then in the first decade of the fifteenth century there are guite suddenly a lot of manu- scripts of polyphony that give the composers' names: the Chantilly Codex (F- CH, MS 564), the main Trecento manuscripts, the Mancini Codex (I-La, MS 184), and so on. So the very habit of musical ascription was only about a hundred years old when Petrucci published that book devoted for the first time to the work of a single composer. And it is easy to go on from there and agree that there was a good reason why Petrucci featured a single composer: like so many music pub- lishers after him he knew that one of the easiest ways of selling a book was to seil the author, to seil, in fact, by auctoritas.

Whoever selected them and commissioned the publication added a preface (transcribed, with English translation in Appendix pp. 33–4) that offers – most unusually for the time – a specific explanation for leaving out all the words. This turns out to have nothing to do with performance, let alone the possible use of instruments, which are neither ruled in nor ruled out. Nor does it express any worries about readers’ appetites for texts in foreign languages, or mention that some texts probably never existed in the first place. Instead, the author pleads, rather surprisingly, that the appearance of the books would have been spoilt had words variously in German, French, Italian and Latin been mixed in together. Moreover, the preface continues, the composers of the songs had regard for erudite sonorities rather than words. The learned musician, then, will enjoy the
