  • What Handel Taught the Viennese About the Trombone
    291 What Handel Taught the Viennese about the Trombone David M. Guion Vienna became the musical capital of the world in the late eighteenth century, largely because its composers so successfully adapted and blended the best of the various national styles: German, Italian, French, and, yes, English. Handel’s oratorios were well known to the Viennese and very influential.1 His influence extended even to the way most of the greatest of them wrote trombone parts. It is well known that Viennese composers used the trombone extensively at a time when it was little used elsewhere in the world. While Fux, Caldara, and their contemporaries were using the trombone not only routinely to double the chorus in their liturgical music and sacred dramas, but also frequently as a solo instrument, composers elsewhere used it sparingly if at all. The trombone was virtually unknown in France. It had disappeared from German courts and was no longer automatically used by composers working in German towns. J.S. Bach used the trombone in only fifteen of his more than 200 extant cantatas. Trombonists were on the payroll of San Petronio in Bologna as late as 1729, apparently longer than in most major Italian churches, and in the town band (Concerto Palatino) until 1779. But they were available in England only between about 1738 and 1741. Handel called for them in Saul and Israel in Egypt. It is my contention that the influence of these two oratorios on Gluck and Haydn changed the way Viennese composers wrote trombone parts. Fux, Caldara, and the generations that followed used trombones only in church music and oratorios.

  • J. S. Bach's Use of Trombones
    J. S. Bach’s Use of Trombones Utilization and Chronology prepared by Thomas Braatz © 2010 J. S. Bach used trombones almost exclusively for cantatas scheduled to be performed on specific Sundays and feast days of the liturgical year beginning with his Estomihi Leipzig audition cantata, BWV 23, performed on February 7, 1723 and ending with BWV 28 for the Sunday after Christmas on December 30, 1725. There are only a few unusual, rather late exceptions to Bach’s usage of trombones, beginning with 1.) a copy (made 1727-1731) of the Kyrie from F. Durante’s Mass in C minor with an indication for 3 trombones (no record of any performance exists); 2.) a transcription of the Kyrie and Gloria of Palestrina’s Missa sine nomine scored for 4 trombones and dated c. 1742 (no record of any performance exists); and including finally 3. a Trauermusik = BWV 118, a single- movement funeral motet composed in 1736/37, originally scored for 2 litui, 1 cornetto, and 3 trombones, but revised later in 1746/47 for a repeat performance but without the trombones, etc. The evidence from the following chronological list of extant cantata materials suggests that there was a limited time-frame of almost three years during which Bach actively utilized trombones for performances of his ‘well-ordered church music’.1 The list includes some well-known cantatas from the pre-Leipzig period, cantatas which originally were not scored for trombones but subsequently were added for performances in Leipzig during this three-year period. The dates listed are for the documented instances when these cantatas using trombones were performed in Leipzig.

  • Rejoice in the Lamb Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) This 'Festival Cantata
    Rejoice in the Lamb Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) This 'Festival Cantata' for soloists, choir and organ, written in 1943 for the fiftieth anniversary of the consecration of St. Matthew's Church, Northampton, was the first in a celebrated series of commissions by the Rev. Walter Hussey for the church's annual patronal festivals; the series later included, in music, Finzi's Lo, the Full Final Sacrifice and, in other fields of the arts, works by Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland and W.H.Auden. At the 1943 celebrations Britten himself conducted the church choir in his new work, sharing the limelight with the Band of the Northamptonshire Regiment performing another festival commission by Michael Tippett. The cantata is a setting of lines selected by Britten from a long poem, Jubilate Agno (over 1200 lines long, in fact – and unfinished) by the ultimately tragic figure of Christopher ('Kitty') Smart (1722-1771), who also wrote as 'Mrs. Midnight' and 'Ebenezer Pentweazle', and was a deeply religious man but, as Hussey himself puts it, "of a strange and unbalanced mind". The poem was in fact written while Smart was confined in an asylum for alleged 'religious mania', and has been seen on the one hand as a vast hymn of praise to God and all his works, and on the other as no more than the ravings of a madman. Published only in 1939, with the subtitle A Song from Bedlam, it was brought to Britten's attention by W.H.Auden. Such a choice of text might seem odd for a jubilee, but there is in the product of such a mind a kind of childlike innocence which in the poet Peter Porter's words "shows the rest of us that heaven does indeed lie about us".

  • Piano Proficiency
    PIANO PROFICIENCY All music majors, except those with a keyboard major, must pass a piano proficiency examination demonstrating functional use of the piano. Students with a primary applied area in keyboard will not take the piano proficiency but will cover functional piano material in their course of primary applied study. Before being recommended for student teaching or attempting the senior recital hearing, every non-keyboard major must pass the piano proficiency. This examination should be completed by the end of the fourth semester of enrollment in secondary piano class (MU262). It must be attempted each semester thereafter until passed. Enrollment in secondary piano class is necessary each semester until the piano proficiency requirement is completed. Students who pass the piano proficiency exam before completing four hours of secondary class piano may take the remaining credit hours in either piano or organ. Students enrolled in secondary piano classes may pass portions of the piano proficiency material. In order to attempt a portion of the proficiency material in jury before the final semester, the student must attempt at least three (3) sections of the exam. The student will only be allowed to attempt a portion of the proficiency exam with the permission of the class piano instructor. Students who complete the prepared literature portion of the exam will be expected to continue preparing literature pieces in subsequent secondary piano classes. The MU262 Final Exam is the Piano Proficiency. It is a jury exam and is held during final exam week. It must be passed completely in this fourth semester in order to receive a passing grade for the semester.
