  • Mora Wade the RECEPTION of OPITZ's Ludith DURING the BAROQUE by Virtue of Its Status As the Second German Opera Libretto, Martin
    Mora Wade THE RECEPTION OF OPITZ'S lUDITH DURING THE BAROQUE By virtue of its status as the second German opera libretto, Martin Opitz's ludith (1635), has received little critical attention in its own right. l ludith stands in the shadow of its predecessor, Da/ne (1627),2 also by Opitz, as weH as in that of a successor, Harsdörffer and Staden's See/ewig (1644), the first German-Ianguage opera to which the music is extant today.3 Both libretti by Opitz, Dafne and ludith, are the earliest examples of the reception of Italian opera into German-speaking lands.4 Da/ne was based on the opera ofthe 1.

  • Histories of Heinrich Schu¨ Tz
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19765-6 - Histories of Heinrich Schütz Bettina Varwig Frontmatter More information HISTORIES OF HEINRICH SCHU¨ TZ Bettina Varwig places the music of the celebrated Dresden composer Heinrich Schu¨tz in a richly detailed tapestry of cultural, political, religious and intellectual contexts. Four key events in Schu¨tz’s career – the 1617 Reformation centenary, the performance of his Dafne in 1627, the 1636 funeral composition Musicalische Exequien, and the publication of his motet collection Geistliche Chor-Music (1648) – are used to explore his music’s resonances with broader historical themes, including the effects of the Thirty Years War, contemporary meanings of classical mythology, Lutheran attitudes to death and the afterlife, as well as shifting conceptions of time and history in light of early modern scientific advances. These original seventeenth-century circumstances are treated in counter- point with Schu¨tz’s fascinating later reinvention in nineteenth- and twentieth-century German musical culture, providing a new kind of musicological writing that interweaves layers of historical inquiry from the seventeenth century to the present day. bettina varwig is a music historian with wide-ranging interests in early modern European culture. She has held fellowships at Magdalen College, Oxford, and the University of Cambridge, and is now a lecturer at King’s College London. She has published widely on the music of Heinrich Schu¨tz and J. S. Bach. This is her first book. © in this web service Cambridge

This reality seems to go unnoticed by most, but the fact remains that many individuals and their societies have formed a cultural identity from the combination of many foreign influences. Such a multicultural identity can be seen particularly in music. Composers, artists, and performers alike frequently seek to incorporate separate elements of style in their own identity. One of the earliest examples of this tradition is the German Singspiel.

  • Chapter 7: Humanism and the Birth of Opera I. Introduction A. the Chief
    Chapter 7: Humanism and the Birth of Opera I. Introduction A. The chief musical style of the Renaissance, the Ars perfecta, did not blend well with the idea of “rebirth”—the meaning of the word “Renaissance.” The ideals of humanism pushed for a different aesthetic, one that found its meaning in the relationship between text and music. B. Italian music dominated European style ca. 1600. C. Absolutism was the main political influence of the period. D. The word “Baroque” is problematical for numerous reasons. II. The Pressure of Humanism A. During the sixteenth century, academies formed in Italy, modeled loosely on the academies of ancient Greece. B. The most important academy was in Florence. 1. This group considered the performance of Greek drama and poetry as a musical event. 2. These ideas were adopted by a group of humanists known as the Camerata. III. The Representational Style A. Galilei thought that music should represent meaning or emotion. 1. He arrived at this concept through Plato. 2. This is known as stile rappresentativo, which Galilei felt could be best expressed by a single voice (monody). IV. Intermedii A. Intermedii were allegorical pageants performed between acts of spoken comedy. B. The intermedii performed at a wedding in 1589 experimented with the ideals discussed by Galilei. 1. They included pieces by Guilio Caccini (1551–1618), a singer and member of the Camerata. V. The Monodic Revolution A. Cavalieri’s Rappresentatione di Anima, et di Corpo (1600) included solo music that we would recognize as recitative. It included figured bass. B. In 1601, both Caccini and Peri set Rinuccini’s drama Euridice.

  • Matthäus-Passion. Charles Daniels (Evangelist Und Tenor), Peter Harvey
    Johann Sebastian Bach: Matthäus-Passion. Charles Daniels (Evangelist und Tenor), Peter Harvey (Jesusworte), Joanne Lunn (Sopran), Margot Oitzinger (Alt), Wolf Matthias Friedrich (Bass), Chor und Orchester der J.S. Bach-Stiftung, Leitung: Rudolf Lutz. JSB 3 CDs 7640151160111. Seit 2007 führt die schweizerische „J.S. Bach-Stiftung“ – so ihre eigene Schreibweise – monatlich ein Vokalwerk des Thomaskantors auf, und zwar mit großem Aufwand: Zunächst gibt es eine musikalisch-theologische Werkeinführung, die zwar Workshop genannt wird, aber eher ein Vortrag ist. Dann erklingt das jeweilige Stück zum ersten Mal an diesem Abend, worauf eine Betrachtung des barocken Kantatentextes aus heutiger Sicht durch eine Persönlichkeit aus Kultur, Wirtschaft oder Politik folgt. Abschließend wird das Stück ein zweites Mal gesungen und gespielt, damit man es nach der Reflexion anders wahrnehmen kann als zuvor. Dokumentiert wird das Ganze in mehrfacher Form: Einmal auf DVD mit allem Drum und Dran, aber nur einem Werk pro Veröffentlichung; oder auf CD mit mehreren Stücken, aber ohne Einführung und Reflexion. Die Reflexionen kann man wiederum als Buch oder als Download kaufen. Hierüber wie über weitere Details informiert die Website www.bachstiftung.ch. Die Produkte sind entweder direkt bei der Bach-Stiftung oder über den deutschen Versandhandel zu beziehen. Ein ebenso ehrgeiziges wie engagiertes Projekt, das sich über 25 Jahre erstrecken soll und mit der sprichwörtlichen schweizerischen Genauigkeit gestaltet wird. Die Sorgfalt im Detail ist schon beeindruckend, in spiel- und aufnahmetechnischer Hinsicht gibt es nicht das Geringste auszusetzen, die Redaktion der DVDs, CDs und Bücher ist hervorragend, nur die alberne Entscheidung der Werbeagentur, an prominenten Stellen (z. B. Überschriften oder Werktiteln) bewusst gegen die Regeln der Rechtschreibung zu verstoßen, um sich „grafisch vom traditionellen Bach-Markt abzuheben“ (wie es heißt), wirkt reichlich deplatziert.
