  • 'Dream Job: Next Exit?'
    Understanding Bach, 9, 9–24 © Bach Network UK 2014 ‘Dream Job: Next Exit?’: A Comparative Examination of Selected Career Choices by J. S. Bach and J. F. Fasch BARBARA M. REUL Much has been written about J. S. Bach’s climb up the career ladder from church musician and Kapellmeister in Thuringia to securing the prestigious Thomaskantorat in Leipzig.1 Why was the latter position so attractive to Bach and ‘with him the highest-ranking German Kapellmeister of his generation (Telemann and Graupner)’? After all, had their application been successful ‘these directors of famous court orchestras [would have been required to] end their working relationships with professional musicians [take up employment] at a civic school for boys and [wear] “a dusty Cantor frock”’, as Michael Maul noted recently.2 There was another important German-born contemporary of J. S. Bach, who had made the town’s shortlist in July 1722—Johann Friedrich Fasch (1688–1758). Like Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767), civic music director of Hamburg, and Christoph Graupner (1683–1760), Kapellmeister at the court of Hessen-Darmstadt, Fasch eventually withdrew his application, in favour of continuing as the newly- appointed Kapellmeister of Anhalt-Zerbst. In contrast, Bach, who was based in nearby Anhalt-Köthen, had apparently shown no interest in this particular vacancy across the river Elbe. In this article I will assess the two composers’ positions at three points in their professional careers: in 1710, when Fasch left Leipzig and went in search of a career, while Bach settled down in Weimar; in 1722, when the position of Thomaskantor became vacant, and both Fasch and Bach were potential candidates to replace Johann Kuhnau; and in 1730, when they were forced to re-evaluate their respective long-term career choices.

The German Cantata Before Bach In Germany, Lutheran composers adapted the genre that had originated in Italy as a secular work intended for aristocratic chamber settings. Defined loosely as a work for one or more voices with independent instrumental accompaniment, usually in discrete sections, and employing the ‘theatrical’ style of opera, the Italian cantata it was originally modest in scope—usually comprising no more than a couple of recitative-aria pairs, with an accompaniment of basso continuo. By the 1700s, however, it had begun to include other instruments, and had grown to include multiple, contrasting movements. Italian composers occasionally wrote sacred cantatas, though not for liturgical use. In Germany, however, Lutheran composers adapted the genre for use in the main weekly service, where it subsumed musical elements already present: the concerted motet and the chorale.

VIVACE ~ II. ADAGIO ~ III. VIVACE Das Schloss Favorite bei Rastatt ist das älteste und einzige nahezu unverändert erhalten gebliebene „Porzel- lanschloss“ Deutschlands. Seine Ausstattung und seine reichhaltigen Sammlungen machen es zu einem Ge- samtkunstwerk von europäischer Bedeutung. Vor über 300 Jahren erbaut unter Markgräfin Sibylla Augusta von Baden-Baden (1675-1733) nach Plänen des Hofbaumeisters Michael Ludwig Rohrer, beherbergen die prächtig ausgestatteten Räume wie einst zu Zeiten der Markgräfin deren kostbare Porzellan-, Fayence- und Glassamm- lung. Das Schloss mit seinem idyllischen Landschaftsgarten war ein Ort der Feste und der Jagd. Markgräfin Sibylla Augusta und ihr Sohn Ludwig Georg fanden hier Erholung abseits des strengeren höfischen Zeremoni- ells in der Rastatter Residenz. Die Ausstattung birgt eine verschwenderische Fülle spätbarocker Dekorationen und viele ungewöhnliche Details. Zentrum des „Lustschlosses“ ist, wie in fast jedem barocken Schloss, die „Sala Terrena“, der Gartensaal, der für Feierlichkeiten diente und in dem auch dieses Konzert stattfand. In Schloss Favorite Rastatt fand man da- für eine ungewöhnliche Form. Der achteckige Saal im Erdgeschoss mit seinen vier Wasserbecken und Brun- nenfiguren, die die vier Jahreszeiten darstellen, öffnet sich nach oben bis zur Kuppel. Seine Wände sind mit blau-weißen Fayence-Fliesen belegt, die sich im ganzen Gebäude wiederfinden. Das Schloss und sein Garten sind eines von 60 historischen Monumenten im deutschen Südwesten.

  • BMC 13 - Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767): Orchestral Music
    BMC 13 - Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767): Orchestral Music Born in Magdeburg in 1681, Telemann belonged to a family that had long been connected with the Lutheran Church. His father was a clergyman, his mother the daughter of a clergyman, and his elder brother also took orders, a path that he too might have followed had it not been for his exceptional musical ability. As a child he showed considerable musical talent, mastering the violin, flute, zither and keyboard by the age of ten and composing an opera (Sigismundus) two years later to the consternation of his family (particularly his mother's side), who disapproved of music. However, such resistance only reinforced his determination to persevere in his studies through transcription, and modeling his works on those of such composers as Steffani, Rosenmüller, Corelli and Antonio Caldara. After preparatory studies at the Hildesheim Gymnasium, he matriculated in Law (at his mother's insistence) at Leipzig University in 1701. That he had little intention of putting aside his interest in music is evident from his stop at Halle, en route to Leipzig, in order to make the acquaintance of the young Handel, with whom he was to maintain a lifelong friendship. It was while he was a student at Leipzig University that a career in music became inevitable. At first it was intended that he should study language and science, but he was already so capable a musician that within a year of his arrival he founded the student Collegium Musicum with which he gave public concerts (and which Bach was later to direct), wrote operatic works for the Leipzig Theater; in 1703 he became musical director of the Leipzig Opera, and was appointed Organist at the Neue Kirche in 1704.

  • Christoph Graupner (1683-1760) a Contextual Study of Cantata Gwv 1127/19 O Welt Sieh Hier Dein Leben
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov - Supplement Series VIII: Performing Arts • Vol. 8 (57) No. 2 - 2015 CHRISTOPH GRAUPNER (1683-1760) A CONTEXTUAL STUDY OF CANTATA GWV 1127/19 O WELT SIEH HIER DEIN LEBEN 1 Marius BAHNEAN Abstract: Christoph Graupner (1683-1760) was a High Baroque composer who worked primarily in Darmstadt, Germany. He was a student of both Johann Schelle (1648-1701) and Johann Kuhnau (1660-1722) while studying at the University of Leipzig from 1696 to 1707. For the duration of these formative years, Graupner developed a compositional style influenced by the Italian and French masters of the time. At the time of his 1712 Kapellmeister appointment at the court of Darmstadt, Grauper was an established composer and keyboardist. His reputation as an important composer of the time is evident in his appointment as Kapellmeister in 1724 at the Thomaskirche, Leipzig; Graupner, however, opted to remain at Darmstadt when the Darmstadt court increased his salary. During his tenure at Darmstadt, Graupner composed over 1400 cantatas and many instrumental works. One cantata representative of this period is GWV 1127/19 O Welt siehhierdein Leben used as the starting point of placing Graupner’s works in the context of the compositional techniques of the eighteenth century. A detailed textual and musical analysis is presented, together with major compositional influences and performance considerations of the Baroque period. Key-words: Christoph Graupner, Baroque, Passio, Cantata 1. Introduction Over the past decades, the focus of musicological research on historically informed performance practice has shed much light on the great Western composers and their music.

  • "Mixed Taste," Cosmopolitanism, and Intertextuality in Georg Philipp
    “MIXED TASTE,” COSMOPOLITANISM, AND INTERTEXTUALITY IN GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN’S OPERA ORPHEUS Robert A. Rue 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 May 2017 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Mary Natvig Gregory Decker © 2017 Robert A. Rue All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor Musicologists have been debating the concept of European national music styles in the Baroque period for nearly 300 years. But what precisely constitutes these so-called French, Italian, and German “tastes”? Furthermore, how do contemporary sources confront this issue and how do they delineate these musical constructs? In his Music for a Mixed Taste (2008), Steven Zohn achieves success in identifying musical tastes in some of Georg Phillip Telemann’s instrumental music. However, instrumental music comprises only a portion of Telemann’s musical output. My thesis follows Zohn’s work by identifying these same national styles in opera: namely, Telemann’s Orpheus (Hamburg, 1726), in which the composer sets French, Italian, and German texts to music. I argue that though identifying the interrelation between elements of musical style and the use of specific languages, we will have a better understanding of what Telemann and his contemporaries thought of as national tastes. I will begin my examination by identifying some of the issues surrounding a selection of contemporary treatises, in order explicate the problems and benefits of their use. These sources include Johann Joachim Quantz’s Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte zu spielen (1752), two of Telemann’s autobiographies (1718 and 1740), and Johann Adolf Scheibe’s Critischer Musikus (1737).

  • Christoph Graupner: Composer's Works Hidden in Darmstadt's Court Library
    2014 Hawaii University International Conferences Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences January 4, 5 & 6 2014 Ala Moana Hotel, Honolulu, Hawaii Christoph Graupner: composer's works hidden in Darmstadt's Court library Vernon Wicker Seattle Pacific University, Music Department Dr. Vernon Wicker Seattle Pacific University, Music Department Christoph Graupner: composer's works hidden in Darmstadt's Court library Elected for the Leipzig position ahead of Bach, Graupner declined as the Darmstadt Court made him stay. After his death in 1760, performances outside the Court were hindered as well as publication of his over 1400 cantatas and numerous other works. His rediscovery and publication provide exciting material for music teachers and students, a musical-liturgical resource for church musicians, and an enrichment for concert audiences. (Recorded examples are available.) Christoph Graupner: composer’s works hidden in Darmstadt’s Court library by Dr. Vernon Wicker, Seattle Pacific University Department of Music When J. S. Bach was elected Kapellmeister at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, Christoph Graupner was one of those chosen ahead of him. But as Graupner was selected for Leipzig, the Court at Darmstadt, where he was Kapellmeister for over 50 years, would not allow such a prestigious musician to leave. Further, during the 60 years after the composer’s death (until 1819), the Court denied the heirs their due payment for further use of his music manuscripts and hindered performances outside the Court, as well as any publication. This included manuscripts to his over 1400 cantatas, 111 sinfonien, 84 ouvertures, 43 concertos for various instruments, over a dozen chamber works and 150 pieces for keyboard.
