  • Prelude | Grove Music
    Prelude (Fr. prélude; Ger. Vorspiel; It., Sp. preludio; Lat. praeludium, praeambulum) David Ledbetter and Howard Ferguson https://doi.org/10.1093/gmo/9781561592630.article.43302 Published in print: 20 January 2001 Published online: 2001 updated and revised, 1 July 2014 A term of varied application that, in its original usage, indicated a piece that preceded other music whose tonic, mode, or key it was designed to introduce; was instrumental (the roots ludus and Spiel mean ‘played’ as opposed to ‘sung’); and was improvised (hence the French préluder and the German präludieren, meaning ‘to improvise’). The term ‘praeambulum’ (preamble) adds the rhetorical function of attracting the attention of an audience and introducing a topic. The earliest notated preludes are for organ, and were used to introduce vocal music in church. Slightly later ones, for other chordal instruments such as the lute, grew out of improvisation and were a means of checking the tuning of the instrument and the quality of its tone, and of loosening the player’s fingers (as was the Tastar de corde). The purpose of notating improvisation was generally to provide models for students, so an instructive intention, often concerned with a particular aspect of instrumental technique, remained an important part of the prelude. Because improvisation may embrace a wide range of manners, styles, and techniques, the term was later applied to a variety of formal prototypes and to pieces of otherwise indeterminate genre. 1. Before 1800. David Ledbetter The oldest surviving preludes are the five short praeambula for organ in Adam Ileborgh’s tablature of 1448 (ed.

  • Matthias Giesen (Austria)
    Matthias Giesen (Austria) The biography of each musician is published as it has been sent by its author Matthias Giesen (*1973) was born in Boppard/Rhein in Germany. After the final school examination he studied church music, organ and music theory at the Music University in Cologne, Stuttgart and Vienna. His organ teachers were the Cologne Cathedral organist Clemens Ganz, Johannes Geffert and Bernhard Haas, music theory he studied with Johannes Schild and Friedrich Jaecker. He joined several organ courses with Marie-Claire Alain, Guy Bovet, Lorenzo Ghielmi, Jean-Claude Zehnder, Michael Radulescu etc. In 1998 he won the First Prize of the Bayreuth Organ Competition. After his organ examinations he studied music theory with Martin Eybl at the Vienna University of Music. In 1999 he was organist in several parishes in Cologne (Germany); in August 1999 he was chosen as the organist of the Bruckner-Organ of the Augustinian Monastery St Florian/Austria. He is also in charge of the Monastery´s music archive. He participated in several recordings for broadcast and television (Italian, Japanese, US-American- Television, Austrian television ORF). This involvement in many international concerts has contributed to his artistic activity (Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Poland, Greece, Algeria, Mexico, Slovakia, Russia, Australia etc.). In May 2002 a CD featuring Giesen playing the Bruckner Organ with organ compositions of the 19th century (Liszt, Schumann, Reger and Bruckner transcription) was published. It also includes a transcription of one of Anton Bruckner´s works. Several other CD projects are planned. In the following time different articles about the organ composers Jean Guillou (in 2001 Giesen made a collaboration project with him), André Jolivet, Leos Janacek and Max Reger were published.

She received a BM in music composition from the University of Florida, an MM in music theory from Bowling Green State University, and an MA in psychology from the University at Buffalo. Her music theory thesis focused on atonal segmentation. At Buffalo, she worked in the Auditory Perception and Action Lab under Peter Pfordresher, and completed a thesis investigating metrical and motivic interaction in the perception of tonal patterns. Her research interests include musical segmentation and categorization, form, schema theory, and pedagogical applications of cognitive models. A Romantic Turn of Phrase: Listening Beyond 18th-Century Schemata (with Andrew Aziz) The analytical application of schemata to 18th-century music has been widely codified (Meyer, Gjerdingen, Byros), and it has recently been argued by Byros (2009) that a schema-based listening approach is actually a top-down one, as the listener is armed with a script-based toolbox of listening strategies prior to experiencing a composition (gained through previous style exposure). This is in contrast to a plan-based strategy, a bottom-up approach which assumes no a priori schemata toolbox.
