(Paris: Dufaut et Dubois, 18 26) ............................................................... 21 iv INTRODUCTION Franz Vinzenz Krommer (1759 - 1831) was among the leading composers of "harmoniemusik,” a genre of music scored for pairs of wind instruments which was popular during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Krommer composed at least 33 works for the harmonie ensemble, thirteen of which were published during his lifetime. For various reasons, the harmoniemusik tradition lost its popularity after the first decades of the 19th century, and no new editions of Krommer’s harmoniemusik compositions were published, until the twentieth century, after about 1826. Interest in the harmoniemusik tradition has recently been renewed, thanks in part to the work of such scholars as Roger Hellyer and David Whitwell. Because much of this material still exists only in manuscript editions or copies of the original 18th century parts, usually without a score, there appears to be the need for new, critical editions of harmoniemusik. The purpose of this document is to provide a critical and historically accurate edition of Krommer’s Partita in Eb. Op. 71. for 2 Oboes, 2 Clarinets, 2 Horns, 2 Bassoons and Contrabassoon. The study contains a brief discussion of the history of the harmoniemusik tradtion in Europe, including the social and cultural activities of the ensemble. Also included is a biography of Franz Vinzenz Krommer. The circumstances surrounding the composition and publication of Krommer’s harmoniemusik are discussed in detail. The text also contains a discussion of the editing process, including the most important issues adckessed in the preparation of the 1992 edition of opus 71. 1 harmoniemusik tradition in Europe, including the social and cultural activities of the ensembles. Central to this discussion is a study of the life of Franz Vinzenz Krommer, with particular attention to circumstances surrounding the composition and publication of Krommer’s harmoniemusik. The text also contains a discussion of the editing process, including the most important issues addressed in the preparation of the 1992 edition of opus 71. The 1992 score is based on two contemporary editions: a published edition by Dufaut et Dubois (Paris) dating from 1026, and a manuscript set of parts obtained from National Library in Vienna, which probably dates from between 1794 and 1606. It is hoped that the 1992 edition of opus 71 will be a valuable contribution to the wind ensemble repertoire. Chapter I HARMONIEMUSIK The term "harmoniemusik” describes a genre of chamber music dating from the late eighteenth and early ninteenth centuries which was scored for a small band containing pairs of wind instruments.1 The ensembles which performed this type of music were called harmonien, and such emsembles became an important peal of the musical life of the royal courts in Europe from about 1760 to 1837.2 "Partita” and "Harmonie” were commonly used as titles for original compositions for the harmonie. Neither of these titles indicates the instrumentation of a composition, nor the numbers or forms of the movements contained within a work. Most "Harmonien” or "Partitas,” however, were multi-movement works, usually in a four movement scheme, and employing the important musical forms of the classical period.3 The harmonie had its early roots in music performed in the French courts. In France there had been an existing tradition of music scored for a quartet consisting of pairs clarinets and horns. At some point during the mid-eighteenth century first one, then a pair ' Don M. Randel, “Harmonie,” The New Harvard Dictionary of Music (Cambridge, Mass. : The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1986), p. 365. * Roger Hellyer, “ ‘Harmoniemusik’: Music for Small Wind Band in the Late Eighteenth and Early Ninteenth Centuries” (Ph.D. dissertation, Oxford University, 1973), p. 3. 3 David Whitwell, “Franz Krommer: Early Wind Master ” Journal of Band Research X/2 (spring 1974), p. 23; Hellyer, pp. 7 -9 . 3 4 of bassoons, were added to this combination as bass instruments and the ensemble evolved into a sextet, containing pairs each of clarinets, horns and bassoons.4 This . tradition of music is discussed in an essay on orchestration by Valentin Roeser, who was a musician in the service of the Prince of Monaco. Dating from 1764, the document is titled "ESSAI / D’INSTRUCTIOM. / A I’usage de ceux qui Composeut pour / LA CLARINETTE ET LE COR. / Avec des Remarque sur I’Harmonie et des Exemples a deux Clarinettes, / deux Cors et deux Bassons.”5 The “First Part” of Roeser s essay is a discussion concerning the use of the clarinet in chamber music. The “Second Part” discusses the treatment of the horn. Following the disscussions about each instrument, Roeser supplies three pages of musical examples, showing technuques for the orchestration of music composed for the combination of two clarinets and two horns. The last two pages of the essay are examples of music composed for the “harmonie,” written for pairs each of clarinets, horns and bassoons. Because they occur together in the same essay, it seems that the music for two clarinets and two horns, and the sextet with pairs of clarinets, horns and bassoons, were closely related ensembles in France during the 1760’s. Two of the French courts known to have employed full time sextets in this combination were

  • Art Or Craft? – Significance of the Sociological Background in the Artistic Development of the Harmoniemusik
    MUSICOLOGICA BRUNENSIA 47, 2012, 1 MIKOŁAJ RYKOWSKI ART OR CRAFT? – SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SOCIOLOGICAL BACKGROUND IN THE ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE HARMONIEMUSIK Harmoniemusik phenomenon has emerged in the most important 18th and 19th century domains of the musical life. It were aristocratic court, church circle and military service where these ensembles containing usually 2 cl., 2 ob., 2 cr., 2 bs. where active. Geographically these musical practise was spread out among many countries, but their so called ‘homeland’ was Holy Roman Empire territory (altough Moravian emigrants applied this music to Bethlehem parish in North America). Stylistically, existing repertoire embodies wide range of Wind Harmo- ny pieces where often in one musical centre it possible to notice that at particular period of time performed simple, garden-like, background music and artistically significant examples of the concert music. A matter of whether Harmoniemusik presents more art or craft is is concerned more to provoke a discussion about its multicontextual functioning rather than expecting white-or-black answers. It is a very important origin of the entire development that its musical condition depended almost fully on sociological background. Artistic judgment of these music should be provided regarding the fact that Wind Harmony came into appearance in various sociological contexts. Moreover, a certain role in sociological sphere required usage of adequate formal devices such as march-like opening movement for army band or dance music as characteristic for music played in aristocratic chambers. It is interesting to ob- serve in which way all these environments influenced the complexity and content of Harmoniemusik repertoire. The 18th century patronage of the army, court and church and its influence ex- erted over the artistic picture of wind ensembles appeared with different intensity.

Spanning the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, these transcriptions of large-scale works had a formative influence on the creative activity of subsequent composers. Most notable are the transcriptions of operas. Some include more than twenty movements and capture much of the drama and intensity of the stage versions. While the Viennese wind octet with pairs of oboes, clarinets, bassoons and horns became the standard instrumentation for the properly defined Harmonie, many pieces were also arranged and composed for ensembles ranging from six to ten players. Composers such as Haydn (1732-1809), Stamitz (1745-1801), Mozart (1756-1791), Krommer (1759-1831), Beethoven (1770-1827) and Mendelssohn (1809- 1847) contributed works to the Harmoniemusik genre.

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: W.A. MOZART’S DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE AN ARRANGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE EDITION FOR WIND INSTRUMENTS AND VOCAL SOLOISTS Anthony Rivera, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2016 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Michael Votta, Jr., School of Music The purpose of this dissertation is to produce a new Harmonie arrangement of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte suitable for modern performance, bringing Joseph Heidenreich’s 1782 arrangement—one of the great treasures of the wind repertoire—to life for future performers and audiences. I took advantage of the capabilities of modern wind instruments and performance techniques, and employed other instruments normally found in the modern wind ensemble1 to create a work in the tradition of Heidenreich’s that restored as much of Mozart’s original thinking as possible. I expanded the Harmonie band to include flute and string bass. Other instruments provide special effects, a traditional role for wind instruments in the Classical opera orchestra. This arrangement is conceived to be performed with the original vocal soloists, making it a viable option for concert performance or for smaller staged productions. It is also intended to allow the wind players to be onstage with the singers, becoming part of 1 The instrumentation model of most current US university band programs is based on the instrumentation of the original 1952 Eastman Wind Ensemble. the dramatic action while simultaneously serving as the “opera orchestra.” This allows creative staging possibilities, and offers the wind players an opportunity to explore new aspects of performing. My arrangement also restores Mozart’s music to its original keys and retains much of his original wind scoring.

London loved him and his Symphony the opportunity to present most of our concert season at Boston’s glorious Symphony Hall. No. 99 was not to disappoint. One critic hailed it as “a composition of the most exquisite kind, Built in 1900, it is principally the home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, but it has been rich, fanciful, bold and impressive”. The woodwind writing in the second movement Adagio is our primary performance home since 1900 as well, and it is considered by many, with some simply exemplary and demonstrates his mastery of symphonic art. Haydn was out to enlighten justification I would add, to be one of the finest concert halls in the world. It is that classic and delight and its Finale certainly achieves the latter. He litters the movement with numerous ‘shoebox style’ reminiscent of the Musikverein in Vienna; the acoustics are quite superb and, jokes of instrumentation and the overall effect is quite simply breathtaking. despite its size – c.2500 capacity – perfect for playing on period instruments.
