Andrew Hanley Musica Britannica Ixv (London: Stainer & Bell, 1994), 58.50[pounds]; set of parts (four-part pieces) 20.50[pounds]; set of parts (two-, three- and five-part pieces) 20.50[pounds] As early as 1667 a musical authority such as Christopher Simpson could already observe regretfully that `This kind of Musick (the more is the pity) is now much neglected, by reason of the scarcity of Auditors that understand it: their ears being better acquainted and more delighted with light and airy Musick.' If the situation is perhaps a little better today, we have to thank for it a small band of indefatigable enthusiasts, connoisseurs and performers, not least among them the editors and authors of the music and books under review here. But if, as one might suspect, millenium fever is just around the corner, ready to sweep away interest in any old music that has limited popular appeal, there is a growing urgency in the task of establishing the beauties of this wonderful repertory in the consciousness of a wider musical public; a warm welcome, therefore, to all six of these volumes. Pride of place has to go to the Royall Consorts of William Lawes--a major collection of music from which only excerpts have previously been published--in a new edition by David Pinto. Perhaps one should say two new editions, as separate volumes give the so-called `new version', scored for two violins, two bass viols and two theorbos, and based principally on Lawes's autograph scorebook, and the `old version', for two treble, one tenor and one bass viols (or perhaps violins), with continuo, which is preserved only in later sources but which, according to a note on one of the manuscripts, represents Lawes's original conception. The exact status of the `old version' is a vexed question, but even those who diagnose a case of "editorial correctness gone mad' here can enjoy the is extra pieces in the same scoring added to the end of the `old' volume. The music in this collection is so exciting that I would like to write about it straight away, but Pinto's extreme recourse to two completely separate editions obviously demands comment. The editor's task is certainly not an easy one here. The reason given for the supposed rescoring of the `old' version is that `tine Middle part could not bee performd with equall advantage to bee heard as the trebles were'; but the middle (i.e. tenor) part of this version lies low and is sometimes crudely written (in places one would be more than happy not to hear too much of it) and looks suspiciously like a botched reduction of the elegant tenor-register passages from the two bass viol parts of the `new' version. On the other hand, the tenor part is sometimes so crude, proceeding in blatant unisons with other parts, that, Pinto suggests, only the composer would have dared to write it. Perhaps most importantly, it is surprisingly consistent in style with other pieces in the same scoring which survive in Lawes's own autograph;... Access from your library This is a preview.

  • Walter Wilson Cobbett and the English Phantasy
    WALTER WILSON COBBETT AND THE ENGLISH PHANTASY Kathryn L. Lent 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 August 2008 Committee: Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor Mary Natvig Robert Fallon © 2008 Kathryn Lent All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor Walter Wilson Cobbett (1847-1937), amateur violonist and philanthropist during the English Musical Renaissance, supported the composition and performance of chamber music in England. In 1905 and 1907 Cobbett held competitions, followed by a series of commissions over the next decade, for compositions that he called Phantasies. According to Cobbett’s announcement, the phantasies were to be twelve minutes in length, have sections that differed in tempo and meter, and had parts of equal importance. These works were to be reminiscent of the early English fantasies and were intended to supplement the longer chamber works that were popular at the time. Following a discussion of the English Fantasia and Cobbett’s musical knowledge, this thesis examines Cobbett’s phantasy competitions and commissions in addition to his definition of the term “phantasy.” After Cobbett’s ideas are established, the reactions and comments of his contemporaries are presented and discussed. The final pages discuss and analyze three of the award winning phantasies in terms of Liszt’s thematic transformation and Brahms’s developing variation. iv To My Mom v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Dr. Eftychia Papanikolaou. Her patience, encouragement and knowledge have been inspiring. I would like to thank Dr.

Working alongside Peter on this project has been an extraordinary privilege. His passion for the subject matter, wealth of knowledge and zeal for precision, made him an ideal guide and companion on this expedition. Our supervision sessions were invariably thought-provoking, mind-broadening, assumption-challenging and inspirational, and I rate what I managed to learn in them as the most valuable treasures I take away from this experience. A number of scholars and archivists helped me in various ways, and without their encouragement and observations this research project would not have been as rewarding as it has turned out to be.

  • Musical Creativity in Restoration England
    Musical Creativity in Restoration England REBECCA HERISSONE Appendix: Catalogue of Restoration Music Manuscripts The following catalogue is an appendix of the music manuscripts that formed the main corpus of research materials used for the book Musical Creativity in Restoration England (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013). While it has primarily been designed to provide context for the book’s investigation of musical creativity, it is also intended to be an ongoing research tool for scholars and editors working in the field. Thus, although the majority of the sources included here have been consulted for the study, the catalogue has been broadened to include manuscripts peripheral to the project in order to make it a more useful resource for future research. Defining the boundaries for inclusion in any catalogue of this sort is fraught with difficulties, and it is rarely possible to ensure complete consistency. Broadly speaking, the year 1660 has been set as the starting point. For some genres of music this year marked a clear watershed: court music was re-established with the Restoration of the monarchy, the theatres were reopened, choral services were restarted, and Charles II established the use of instruments at the Chapel Royal, which resulted in the invention of the symphony anthem. While there is good reason to reach back into the 1650s to consider a few important manuscripts containing music in these genres – such as Locke’s score of the 1659 performance of Cupid and Death – such exceptions are relatively few and are easily defined. The situation is very different, however, for more informal types of music-making that took place in the home, tavern or at music meetings.
