Only about a fifth of Rogier’s compositions has it is less clear what role instrumentalists and polyphonic music played survived: many of his works were lost in the fire at the royal palace in in the day-to-day liturgical life of Philip II’s grand structure at El Escorial.

For someone who died at such an early age, and about whose instrumental participation and polyphonic music, and no professional life very little is known, we are left to speculate how Rogier managed to musicians were employed there during Philip II’s reign.

Tonight, the Tallis Scholars present music written over a span of over 140 years by compos- ers from varymg national backgrounds, and it will be possible to see both contrasts and similarities m their music. Most consider Claudio Monteverdi to be a Baroque composer. Even though his introduction of the seconda prattica has long been considered a watershed moment in the history of music, Monteverdi wrote in an older style, called prima prattica, throughout his life.

  • The Companion to the Edington Music Festival
    The Priory Church of Saint Mary, Saint Katharine and All Saints, Edington, near Westbury, Wiltshire THE COMPANION TO THE EDINGTON MUSIC FESTIVAL Sunday, 20 August to Sunday, 27 August 2000 1 Contents Introduction Peter Barley Welcome to the Edington Festival of Music within the Liturgy for the year 2000. Whatever one's views on where the millennium really comes, and whether this is really a great birthday for the Church, it is clearly a momentous milestone, and not least for Edington — the forty-fifth festival and the year that sees the launch of the Festival Association. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Bow down before him, his glory proclaim. I find these words from the well-known 19th century Epiphany hymn by J.S.B. Monsell (and also familiar from Psalm 96 and settings by Elgar and Wesley) particularly poetic and meaningful when it comes to considering worship at Edington. The beauty of holiness has a special resonance for all those of us lucky enough to be worshippers at this unique Introduction 3 Festival, where we are able to rejoice in, celebrate and relish the quality of our liturgy and worship — its beauty and holiness. Festival & General Information 6 The word 'liturgy' is derived from two Greek words (leitos and ergos) which translate as 'public action'. Thus we have acts of public worship, made up of praise, penitence, prayer Acknowledgements 6 and thanksgiving. Canon Neil Heavisides spoke eloquently and movingly about the life and work of Ralph Dudley on Friends' Day at last year's Festival, and alluded to Dudley's clear vision of liturgy as 'the people's work', where not just music and the spoken word Edington Festival 2001 7 but also deportment was an art.

  • Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
    Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

The royal privilege for publication bears the date 1578 on the page which also contains the “erratas”. The Obras contain an extensive and very useful introduction in unnumbered pages, followed by 200 folio’s of printed music, superscribed in the upper margin “Compendio de Musica / de Antonio de Cabeçon.” A facsimile is in IMSLP. The first editor Felipe Pedrell (1841-1922), Hispaniae Schola Musica Sacra, Vols.3, 4, 7, 8, Barcelona: Juan Pujol & C., 1895-98, did not provide a complete edition, but a little more than half of it. He omitted the intabulations, “glosas”, of other composers, apparently objecting a lack of originality to them. He also gave an extensive introduction in Spanish and French. This edition may be found in IMSLP too. Pedrell stopped his complete edition after folio 68 (of 200), and made a selection of remaining works.

Neal, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2011 This dissertation examines the sacred compositions for six or more voices by Nicolas Gombert (1495-1560). Two multivoice (six or more voices) compositional techniques emerged in sixteenth-century Europe. The first of these, the Italian double-choir (coro spezzato) technique, has received far more attention from scholars. This practice divided the vocal ensemble into two groups that sang either separately or together, and whose members remained consistent throughout the musical composition. The second technique, practiced by composers in northern Europe, also split settings into two or more vocal groups, but the members of the groupings constantly changed.
