WILLIAM BOYCE (1711-1779) By the time his symphonies were published (1760), Dr. William Boyce had attained a position of eminence and honor among English musicians. He held the post of Composer to the Royal Chapel, and he was also one of the Chapel's organists. Receiving his doctorate in music at Cambridge, he then took office as Master of the King's Music (1755-1759). His reverence for the old masters of English church music, which was encouraged by his teacher Maurice Greene, resulted in his completing Greene's projected collection of English Cathedral Music, the first volume of which was published in 1760. Vocal music was considered by most composers to be of paramount importance "the finest instrumental music" being regarded as "an imitation of the vocal." It is not therefore surprising that some instrumental forms originated as introductions and adornments to vocal works.

  • 04.09.2020 Wild at Heart. Romanticism in Switzerland
    Media release Zurich, 4 September 2020 Wild at Heart. Romanticism in Switzerland From 13 November 2020 to 14 February 2021 the Kunsthaus will be turning the spotlight on Romanticism, with an exhibition of over 150 works spanning the arc from Henry Fuseli to Alexandre Calame and the early Arnold Böcklin. It reveals the considerable contribution made by Swiss artists to the development of European landscape painting, follows them to academies abroad, and explores the close ties between them. The overview will also extend to famous Romantics from other countries such as Caspar David Friedrich, Eugène Delacroix and J.M.W. Turner, thus adding an international perspective to the appreciation of Swiss Romanticism. In the late 18th century, Romanticism spread across Europe. Artists began creating works that focused on feelings and the fascination of the unfathomable, in contrast to the sober, rational art of Neoclassicism. The Swiss discovered the visual potential of their own landscapes, committing the majestic Alpine environment and the eternal ice of the glaciers to canvas. Curator Jonas Beyer draws our attention to a key era of Swiss art history that until now has only been explored through myriad individual aspects. A MOOD OF CHANGE THAT CROSSES BOUNDARIES The focus on a typically Swiss variant of Romanticism offers a deeper insight into the interrelationship between specifically local character and international connections. The particular mood of change that characterizes Swiss art of this period finds its most tangible expression in the intensive exchanges with artists in neighbouring countries. Swiss artists flocked to the academies in Paris, Dresden and Vienna, building highly effective networks but also responding with an artistic sensibility to the local characteristics of their study environment.

  • 'Rise Again, Yes, Rise Again'
    20 AUG – 10 SEP 2021 ‘RISE AGAIN, YES, RISE AGAIN‘ 20 AUG – 10 SEP 2021 ’RISE AGAIN, YES, RISE AGAIN’ www.beethovenfest.de Tickets +49 (0)228 – 50 20 13 13 Informations +49 (0)228 – 20 10 30 ‘Rise again, yes, rise again … … wilt thou, my dust, after a brief rest!’ Thus the opening lines of Friedrich Gottlob Klopstock’s ‘The Resurrection’, the poem that Gustav Mahler set to music in his Second Symphony. It was the first time that he had woven the human voice into a sym- phony tapestry, just as Beethoven had done in his Ninth. We have chosen these hope- filled lines as the motto of our 2021 Beet- hovenfest. Beethoven’s Ninth will resound at the beginning, Mahler’s ‘Resurrec- tion’ Symphony at the close. Beethoven’s final pronouncement at one end, Mahler’s continuation and glorification at the other. In its genesis, the Ninth is closely connected with the ‘Missa solemnis’. For this reason the ‘Missa’ will already be presented in Cologne Ca thedral in May – not without a surprising interlude. Cologne will also host an international youth orchestra venturing to play ‘Gruppen’, a monu- mental, spatially conceived work by Karlheinz Stockhausen. The orchestral works to be heard at the 2021 Beethovenfest are marked by a penchant for the universal and the spiritual. Among them will be Schubert and Bruckner ‘favourites’ played by the Vienna Philharmonic, and Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem and Stravinsky’s ‘Sym- phony of Psalms’, performed by the Orchestre des Champs-Elysées. Major birthdays can also be celebrated ex post facto.

Commenting on the musical selections this season, Bernard Labadie said, “These three programs at Carnegie Hall next season will invite New YorK audiences to hear and experience the music of some of their favorite composers in new and novel ways. Felix Mendelssohn was Known to have performed Bach’s keyboard works on a modern pianoforte, so it is only fitting that we have paired two of his most popular orchestral works with two of Bach’s keyboard concertos to be performed by Beatrice Rana on modern piano. Our second concert explores the unique sonic experience of works for double orchestra with rarely- performed antiphonal works by Handel and Vivaldi.
