    THE DEVELOPMENT OF WORKS FOR CHOIR AND BRASS: A STUDY OF FOUR REPRESENTATIVE WORKS A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Christina Marie Armendarez In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS Major Department: Music April 2012 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title THE DEVELOPMENT OF WORKS FOR CHOIR AND BRASS: A STUDY OF FOUR REPRESENTATIVE WORKS ByByBy Christina Marie Armendarez The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of DOCTDOCTOROR OF MUSICAL ARTS SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Dr. Jo Ann Miller Chair Dr. Michael Weber Dr. Andrew Froelich Dr. John Helgeland Approved: 4/05/2012 Dr. John Miller ii ABSTRACT As brass instruments evolved from crude instruments limited to only a few notes into instruments that could play melodic passages within the vocal range, they began to be paired with the voice. The development traced in this paper will focus primarily on the addition of brass instruments with a choral ensemble from the late Renaissance period through the Modern period. Insight into the historical use of brass and the evolution of choral and brass music allows us to better understand the genre and how subject matter, text, and/or the occasion for which the compositions were composed often influenced the composer’s decision to add brass. Four representative pieces will be studied: In Ecclesiis by Giovanni Gabrieli (c.1554-1612); Herr, unser Herscher by Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672); Ecce Sacerdos by Anton Bruckner (1824- 1896); and Ode a la Musique by Frank Martin (1890-1974).

  • The Role of the Trombone and Its Affekt in the Lutheran Church Music of Seventeenth-Century Saxony and Thuringia: the Early Seventeenth Century

    The Role of the Trombone and Its Affekt in the Lutheran Church Music of Seventeenth-Century Saxony and Thuringia: the Early Seventeenth Century

    LEONARD 57 THE ROLE OF THE TROMBONE AND ITS AFFEKT IN THE LUTHERAN CHURCH MUSIC OF SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY SAXONY AND THURINGIA: THE EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY Charlotte A. Leonard Preamble This article is a summary of a portion of a larger study about the role of the trombone in Lutheran sacred music in central Germany.1 My research began with a curiosity about the historical antecedents to Johann Sebastian Bach’s use of the trombone. To narrow the scope and reduce the quantity of pieces to a manageable number, I limited my study to compositions by Saxon and Thuringian composers that named the trombone, and whose works were most directly relevant to Bach’s. The other purpose of this study was to es- tablish associations between trombones and Affekt. This could be done only through the investigation of a repertoire where text setting was involved, so that the words could clarify the emotions of the work. My premise was that composers did not intend the sound of trombones to represent only death and otherworldliness. I also believed that trombones probably had a more independent role in church music, and were not used solely to double the choir. Only those pieces in which the trombone is designated on the title page, score, parts, or composer’s preface were included in this study. Introduction Although the trombone played a signifi cant part in seventeenth-century Lutheran church music in central Germany, its use, purpose, and character have not been adequately ex- amined. It is named in the score or parts of at least 319 pieces by thirty-six composers, including nine anonymous works.
  • Heinrich Schütz

    Heinrich Schütz

    Heinrich Schütz "...Christian singer of Psalms..." The year was 1598. The little town of Weissenfels in Saxony, Germany, was buzzing with excitement ... the Landgrave was coming to town! He was scheduled to stay overnight at the local inn, Zum Schützen. Needless to say, Christoph Schütz, the innkeeper, and his entire family did all they could to make the stay a pleasant one. As part of the after-dinner entertainment, one of the children was allowed to sing. Heinrich, a courageous thirteen-year-old, got up and performed some of the songs he had learned at the church choir. The Landgrave Moritz of Hessen-Kassel was duly impressed and begged the parents to allow him to take young Heinrich to the noble court where he would be reared in "all good arts and commendable virtues." The parents refused. Father Christoph considered himself quite capable of giving his children a thorough religious and liberal education. The school, town church, Kantor, and organist were more than adequate for the development of Heinrich's abilities. However, the Landgrave chose to disagree. He wrote a series of letters in which he repeated the invitation. It would be a pity to see the "singular inclination to noble music and the ability to sing securely and with particular grace" go to waste. Finally, the parents gave in. Heinrich Schütz left home. In 1599, Father Christoph brought his son to the court at Kassel. At the court of the Landgrave, Heinrich served as a choirboy. This allowed him to attend the academy along with the children of Hesse nobility.
