Antonio De Cabeçon (Castrillo Mota De Judíos 1510 – Madrid 1566)
Antonio de Cabeçon (Castrillo Mota de Judíos 1510 – Madrid 1566) Comiençan las canciones glosadas y motetes de a cinco Fol. 136-158v. from : Obras de Musica para Tecla, Arpa y Vihuela Madrid 1578 Second part: 13 canciones and 1 Fuga (or Tiento) in 5 voices transcribed for keyboard instrument or harp and arranged for recorders or other instruments with introduction and critical notes by Arnold den Teuling Keyboard instrument or harp 2017 1 2 Introduction to the edition of the remaining part of Antonio de Cabezón’s Obras de Musica para Tecla, Arpa y Vihuela, Madrid 1578 Hernando de Cabeçon (Madrid 1541-Valladolid 1602), as he spelled his name, published his father’s works in 1578, despite the year 1570 on the title page. 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. -
The Sackbut and Pre-Reformation English Church Music
146 HISTORIC BRASS SOCIETY JOURNAL THE SACKBUT AND PRE-REFORMATION ENGLISH CHURCH MUSIC Trevor Herbert n the mid-1530s the household account books of the Royal Court in London showed that as many as twelve trombone players were in receipt of regular fees. If these accounts /signify all expenditure on Court music at that time, it can be estimated that an eighth of the wages bill for this part of its activities went to trombone players. The 1530s were something of a high point in this respect, but it remains the case that for the whole of the 16th century a corps of trombonists were, in effect, salaried members of the royal musical establishment.1 Yet, not a single piece of English music from this period is explicitly linked to the trombone. This in itselfis not significant, as the labelling of parts at this time was rare,2 but the illustration draws historians of brass instruments to a neat focus. Throughout the 16th century trombonists occupied a regular and important place in English musical life. The players were professionals, probably fine and distinguished performers: What did they play and when did they play it? In this article I address some issues concerning the deployment of trombones in the first half of the 16th century. It is worth stressing that musical practice in England in the 16th century was sufficiently different from the rest of Europe to merit special attention. As I explain below, the accession of Henry VII marks what many historians recognize as a watershed in British history. The death of his son Henry VIII in 1547 marks another. -

Instrument Descriptions
RENAISSANCE INSTRUMENTS Shawm and Bagpipes The shawm is a member of a double reed tradition traceable back to ancient Egypt and prominent in many cultures (the Turkish zurna, Chinese so- na, Javanese sruni, Hindu shehnai). In Europe it was combined with brass instruments to form the principal ensemble of the wind band in the 15th and 16th centuries and gave rise in the 1660’s to the Baroque oboe. The reed of the shawm is manipulated directly by the player’s lips, allowing an extended range. The concept of inserting a reed into an airtight bag above a simple pipe is an old one, used in ancient Sumeria and Greece, and found in almost every culture. The bag acts as a reservoir for air, allowing for continuous sound. Many civic and court wind bands of the 15th and early 16th centuries include listings for bagpipes, but later they became the provenance of peasants, used for dances and festivities. Dulcian The dulcian, or bajón, as it was known in Spain, was developed somewhere in the second quarter of the 16th century, an attempt to create a bass reed instrument with a wide range but without the length of a bass shawm. This was accomplished by drilling a bore that doubled back on itself in the same piece of wood, producing an instrument effectively twice as long as the piece of wood that housed it and resulting in a sweeter and softer sound with greater dynamic flexibility. The dulcian provided the bass for brass and reed ensembles throughout its existence. During the 17th century, it became an important solo and continuo instrument and was played into the early 18th century, alongside the jointed bassoon which eventually displaced it. -
Natural Trumpet Music and the Modern Performer A
NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Music Laura Bloss December, 2012 NATURAL TRUMPET MUSIC AND THE MODERN PERFORMER Laura Bloss Thesis Approved: Accepted: _________________________ _________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Brooks Toliver Dr. Chand Midha _________________________ _________________________ Faculty Reader Dean of the Graduate School Mr. Scott Johnston Dr. George R. Newkome _________________________ _________________________ School Director Date Dr. Ann Usher ii ABSTRACT The Baroque Era can be considered the “golden age” of trumpet playing in Western Music. Recently, there has been a revival of interest in Baroque trumpet works, and while the research has grown accordingly, the implications of that research require further examination. Musicians need to be able to give this factual evidence a context, one that is both modern and historical. The treatises of Cesare Bendinelli, Girolamo Fantini, and J.E. Altenburg are valuable records that provide insight into the early development of the trumpet. There are also several important modern resources, most notably by Don Smithers and Edward Tarr, which discuss the historical development of the trumpet. One obstacle for modern players is that the works of the Baroque Era were originally played on natural trumpet, an instrument that is now considered a specialty rather than the standard. Trumpet players must thus find ways to reconcile the inherent differences between Baroque and current approaches to playing by combining research from early treatises, important trumpet publications, and technical and philosophical input from performance practice essays. -

Tallis Scholars Programme Notes: US Tour December 2013 VICTORIA
Tallis Scholars Programme Notes: US Tour December 2013 VICTORIA, TOMAS LUIS DE: Dum complerentur, dum ergo essent VICTORIA, TOMAS LUIS DE: Missa Gaudeamus Interval VERDELOT, PHILIPPE: Beata es Virgo Maria VERDELOT, PHILIPPE: Sint dicte grates Christo BRUCKNER, ANTON: Ave Maria VICTORIA, TOMAS LUIS DE: Ave Maria a 8 GUERRERO, FRANCISCO: Usquequo Domine GUERRERO, FRANCISCO: Maria Magdalene Mary, Mother of God, and Mary Magdalene: two women, two contrasting figures at the heart of the Christian story. Virgin and whore, saint and redeemed sinner, both occupy an unusually prominent role in Gospels dominated by men, and have proved fruitful inspiration for artists and composers alike. Tonight’s works comes from Spain and France, the renaissance and 19th-century, but across nations and eras find a shared point of expressive reference in these woman, whose human truths and exuberant joys are no less present in these musical portraits than their spiritual personas. With the exception of Thomas Tallis’s Loquebantur variis linguis, few works for Pentecost achieve the sense of euphoric urgency captured in Victoria’s Dum complerentur. “And suddenly they heard a great sound from heaven, alleluia, like a hurricane in its fury.” Mirroring the liturgical form of the Responsory in his musical setting, Victoria structures his motet in two sections, each punctuated with a returning “alleluia” refrain. The counterpoint is unusually conventional; each section opens with staggered points of imitation, giving a sense of organic growth that culminates each time in an alleluia. These alleluias develop from the almost homophonic first statement to the pealing scalic chatter of the final one, a vivid aural rendering of the flickering fire of the Holy Spirit and the clamour of the disciples speaking in tongues. -

Hopkinson Smith Wurde 1946 in New York Geboren
Hopkinson Smith wurde 1946 in New York geboren. Nach seinem mit Auszeichnung abgeschlossenen Musikwissenschaftsstudium in Harvard kam er 1973 nach Europa, um in Katalonien bei Emilio Pujol und in Basel bei Eugen Dombois zu studieren. Basel, Mekka der Alten-Musik-Szene, ist mittlerweile zu seiner zweiten Heimat geworden. Dort lebt er und lehrt an der berühmten Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Er ist der unumstrittene Lautenmeister unserer Zeit: Sowohl als Solist als auch gemeinsam mit Spitzenensembles der Alten Musik ist er regelmäßig auf Konzerttournee. Er war u.a. Gründungsmitglied von Hespèrion XX (Montserrat Figueras, Jordi Savall, Lorenzo Alpert) und arbeitete 10 Jahre mit dem Ensemble. Seit Mitte der 80er-Jahre beschäftigt sich Hopkinson Smith primär mit Solomusik für alte Zupfinstrumente wie der Vihuela, der Renaissance- und Barocklaute, der Theorbe und mit Renaissance- und Barockgitarren. Zahlreich sind seine Platten- und CD-Einspielungen (ASTREE) mit Musik des Mittelalters, der Renaissance und des Barock. Seine Aufnahme mit Bachs gesamtem Lautenwerk wurde mit dem Grand Prix du Disque ausgezeichnet. 2000 wurde seine Einspielung der Lautenarrangements von Bach von der Presse weltweit hoch gelobt. Den Diapason d’Or erhielten die Einspielungen für Renaissance-Laute der Werke von Pierre Attaingnant, seine CDs mit Musik von John Dowland und Francesco da Milano. Hopkinson Smith ist mit Auftritten wie auch mit Meisterklassen in ganz Europa, Amerika, Australien, Korea und Japan präsent. 2007 und 2009 gab er Konzerte und Workshops in Palästina unter der Schirmherrschaft der Barenboim-Said- Stiftung und des Kunstrates der Schweiz. 2010 erhielt er von der italienischen Region Puglia eine Auszeichnung unter dem Titel: „Maestro dei maestri, massimo interprete delle musiche per liuto dell’antica Europa Mediterranea“.
