No instruments, no harmony, no chords, no clashing notes. - Tn-tone — between 4th & 5th interval. The Tn-Tone was called the “Devils Interval” RENAISSANCE In 1855, Jules Michelet came up with the term Renaissance (French for “rebirth”) in designate the historical period after thMileAghis Histoire de France to (History of France) to In writing and the visual arts (dance,jjnting, etc.) the Renaissance relly_bgJn ijJy and spread north through Europe. In music, the northern countries lead the charge in the 15 century, while Italy came on board in the 16th Century. Renaissance will be defined as the time during the 15th and 16th centuries. The Catholic Reformation was started to rival the Protestant reformers by starting its own program of change and reform. Catholic Reformation was in response to Martin Luther’s rebelliongainst the authority of the Catholic Church and the spiritual leadership of Rome (The Pope). Luther and his colleagues used many well-known secular tunes for choras, and substituted religjpus words. These resulting cflpositions were called con trafacta fLatin for “counterfeits”). The Lutheran Church’s most distinctive and imptant musical innovation became the strophic hyjpn - intended for congregational (church) singing in unison. The goal of the Catholic reformation was to reaffirm the power of music in the churchgoers through an pppiiatstyle of sacred polyphony (vs homophony). Some extremit re against the appal of art in places of wojd in services, and prohibited the singing of texts that were not found in the Bible.) The Catholics aimed to win back those who had left the Catholic Church by appealing to their senses through the sheer beauty of its liturgy and ceremonial music. Instruments were added to the mix! - A group of instruments playing together at one time was called a consort. Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina was the most important Catholic composer of sacred music. His style became a model for church-music composition. Giovanni da Palestrina (1525-1594 -Rome, Italy) (copy p. 159) Palestrina spent much of his career in Rome, serving as organist and choirmaster at both the Sistine Chapel and at St. Peter’s Basilica. He wrote over a hundred mass settings and over three hundred motets. At the same time, he managd a very successful furrier business. from which he died a very wealthy man (selling furs). While following the rules of the Council ofTrent (from 1545-1563) Palestrina composed in a purer, more restrained style of music. His goal was to get rid of the “worldly distractions” that the Catholics said the Protestants had in their new music.

  • Programme Note ANETA MARKUSZEWSKA
    Programme note ANETA MARKUSZEWSKA Following the death of John III and a failed attempt by the Sobieski dynasty to retain the crown, Marie Casimire decided to leave the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and make her way to Rome. She arrived in the Eternal City in March 1699, after a journey lasting almost half a year. The official reason for her arrival in the city was the jubilee year 1700, celebrated in the capital of Christianity with great pomp. In the end the Widow-Queen remained in Rome for fifteen years. Marie Casimire soon became known as an esteemed patron of music. Her residence in the Palazzo Zuccari in Trinità de’ Monti (next to the Spanish Steps, which did not yet exist) was a venue for renditions of commemorative cantatas and serenatas celebrating the memory of her distinguished husband, as well as performances of improvised comedies and dance. In 1709 Marie Casimire Sobieski organised in her palace a private opera theatre, where operas to librettos by Carlo Sigismondo Capece with music by the young Domenico Scarlatti were staged until 1714. One of the works presented at the time was the dramma per musica Tolomeo e Alessandro, ovvero la corona disprezzata by Capece-Scarlatti. The opera had its premiere on 17th January 1711. About the performance an anonymous chronicler wrote: ‘On Monday evening in her residence on Trinità de’ Monti, the Queen of Poland opened performances of an opera featuring female singers and good musicians [instrumentalists] which was generally acknowledged as superior to others.’ In a letter to her eldest son Jakub Sobieski, who was staying in Oława, Marie Casimire related that: ‘the whole work was composed in three weeks .

  • A Consonance-Based Approach to the Harpsichord Tuning of Domenico Scarlatti John Sankey 1369 Matheson Road, Gloucester, Ontario K1J 8B5, Canada William A
    A consonance-based approach to the harpsichord tuning of Domenico Scarlatti John Sankey 1369 Matheson Road, Gloucester, Ontario K1J 8B5, Canada William A. Sethares University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706-1691 ~Received 16 August 1995; revised 28 October 1996; accepted 29 October 1996! This paper discusses a quantitative method for the study of historical keyboard instrument tunings that is based on a measure of the perceived dissonance of the intervals in a tuning and their frequency of occurrence in the compositions of Domenico Scarlatti ~1685–1757!. We conclude that the total dissonance of a large volume of music is a useful tool for studies of keyboard instrument tuning in a historical musical context, although it is insufficient by itself. Its use provides significant evidence that Scarlatti used French tunings of his period during the composition of his sonatas. Use of total dissonance to optimize a 12-tone tuning for a historical body of music can produce musically valuable results, but must at present be tempered with musical judgment, in particular to prevent overspecialization of the intervals. © 1997 Acoustical Society of America. @S0001-4966~97!03603-5# PACS numbers: 43.75.Bc @WJS# INTRODUCTION particularly uncertain, since he was born and trained in Italy, but spent most of his career in Portugal and Spain, and did Numerous musical scales have been used over the years all of his significant composing while clearly under strong for Western music, with the aim of maximizing the quality of Spanish influence. A method which might infer information sound produced by fixed-pitch 12-note instruments such as concerning his tuning preferences solely from his surviving the harpsichord.

  • On National Influence in the Keyboard Works of Domenico Scarlatti
    Scarlatti and the Spanish Body: On National Influence in the Keyboard Works of Domenico Scarlatti Sara Gross Modern scholars, lacking biographic details and autograph sources, know relatively little about Domenico Scarlatti and the background of his works for keyboard. This absence of information often results in contradictory accounts and even myths in musicological scholarship on the composer.1 Born in 1685 in Naples, Scarlatti spent nearly half of his life in Italy composing opera and half of his life writing keyboard works on the Iberian Peninsula, working as a keyboard teacher and composer for Doña María Bárbara de Braganza (first a Princess of Portugal and later, Queen of Spain). Given the composer’s bipartite life, Scarlatti is claimed at once by Italian musicologists as an integral figure in the canon of Italian musicians,2 while Spaniards, including the composer Manuel de Falla, have placed Scarlatti instead within a long lineage of Spanish composers and performers. It would appear, however, that despite nationalist boundaries and historical vagaries that frustrate the present field, all Scarlatti scholars find themselves in agreement upon one point: that he was among the finest keyboard composer-virtuosos of the era, a status owing entirely to Scarlatti’s seemingly 1 Little biographical detail remains from either his life in Italy or on the Iberian peninsula and earnest searches have, as yet, failed to uncover any original manuscripts or autographs of the keyboard sonatas that comprise the vast majority of Scarlatti’s work. 2 Gian Francisco Malipiero names Scarlatti the “last heir in the great Italian school issuing from Palestrina, Gesualdo da Venosa, Girolamo Frescobaldi, and Claudio Monteverdi” in “Domenico Scarlatti,” The Musical Quarterly 13 (1927): 485.

  • Program Notes Terry Norman
    Music at the Basilica Inc. Advent Organ Recital 2020 Terry Norman – organ Johann Jacob FROBERGER (1616-1667) wrote almost exclusively keyboard music, some specifically for harpsichord, a few pieces specifically for organ, while the bulk of his output can be successfully played on either instrument. Froberger had travelled to Rome to study with Frescobaldi, and the 2 pieces in this recording are heavily influenced by the Roman composer. The Toccata II is a typical Italianate toccata, alternating sections in a free toccata style with sections in a more imitative texture. The Canzona was something of a forerunner to the fugue. It normally, as here, consisted of several short sections, each in fugal form, with the themes from the various sections being related. As you will hear, Froberger was a master of counterpoint, as well as having an extraordinary ability to modify and develop themes Domenico SCARLATTI (1685-1757) was the son of Alessandro Scarlatti, the famous Neapolitan composer. Alessandro had obviously been a significant influence on his son, but curiously, it was only when Domenico moved to Portugal and then Spain, that he started to compose keyboard sonatas in a strikingly original style. There is considerable discussion regarding the instrument intended for these sonatas. Scarlatti was writing at a time when the harpsichord was still very much in vogue, but the new fortepiano was slowly establishing itself, so there are arguments for either instrument. A few sonatas are suitable for the organ, especially the one you will hear now with its subtitle “Pastorale”. The Pastoral was a keyboard genre, very much implying the use of the organ.

  • Correnti Della Storia
    CORRENTI DELLA STORIA DOMENICO SCARLATTI (1685-1757) November’s essay deals with the life of the composer, Domenico Scarlatti, one of the most famous Baroque composers, who spent much of his life in the service of the Portuguese and Spanish royal families. Chronologically, he is classified as a Baroque composer, although his music was influential in the development of the Classical style and he was one of the few Baroque composers able to transition into the Classical period. Like his renowned father, Alessandro Scarlatti, he composed in a variety of musical forms, although today he is known primarily for his 555 keyboard sonatas, which substantially expanded the technical and musical possibilities of the harpsichord. Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti was born in Naples on October 26, 1685 (this past Oct. 26 was the 331st anniversary of his birth), the same year as Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel. He was the sixth of ten children of the composer and teacher Alessandro Scarlatti. Domenico’s older brother Pietro Filippo Scarlatti was also a musician. Domenico most likely studied music first under his father. Other composers who were his early teachers were Gaetano Greco and Francesco Gasparini, both of whom influenced his musical style. In 1701, just before his 16th birthday, he was appointed composer and organist at the royal chapel in Naples where his father was Maestro di Cappella. In 1704, he revised Carlo Francesco Pollaro- lo’s opera Irene for performance at the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Velasco’s portrait (1739) Naples. His father soon recognized that his son’s fascination with commemorating the dubbing of Scarlatti the harpsichord would need nurturing in an artistic climate more into the Order of Santiago on April 21, 1738 by King John V of Portugal.

  • Music of Domenico Scarlatti Innovation and Style of His Keyboard Sonatas
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 554 Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Humanities and Social Science Research (ICHSSR 2021) Music of Domenico Scarlatti Innovation and Style of His Keyboard Sonatas MingChih Hsieh 1,* 1School of Music, Zhaoqing University, Guangdong, China *Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Domenico Scarlatti (Napes, 26 October, 1685- Madrid, 23 July, 1757) is one of the most significant Italian music composers in the eighteenth century late Baroque period. Although he is a prolific composer who has composed a great deal of music in wide variety of forms and genres, he is best known for his 550 keyboard sonatas written mostly for the harpsichords (although they are mostly played on modern pianos these days). His keyboard sonatas are single movements, in binary or sonata allegro form, that show innovative virtuosic display on the keyboard with early classical influence. Some of his most important musical attributes of the keyboard works include the influence of Portuguese and Spanish folk music, the adoption of the early eighteenth century Galant style, the inspiration of guitar music by using rapid notes being played repetitively, the revolutionary harmonic devices by using unresolved dissonant chords, the usages of extreme dynamic contrasts, the technique of involving constantly hand-crossing over each other, and the complexity of finger works by applying fast running notes of arpeggios moving back and forth from extreme register of the keyboard. Except for his limited eighteenth-century English publications of his earlier sonatas and a few Continental reprints, the bulk of his keyboard music was almost unknown beyond his immediate circle and exercised little direct influence on these later generation Italian and German composers such as Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788), Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), Muzio Clementi (1752-1832), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1782-1791), and Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827).
