The Treatment of the Chorale Wie Scan Leuchtet Der Iorgenstern in Organ Compositions from the Seven Teenth Century to the Twentieth Century
379 THE TREATMENT OF THE CHORALE WIE SCAN LEUCHTET DER IORGENSTERN IN ORGAN COMPOSITIONS FROM THE SEVEN TEENTH CENTURY TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By Paul Winston Renick, B. M. Denton, Texas August, 1961 PREFACE The chorale Wie schn iihtet derMorgenstern was popular from its very outset in 1589. That it has retained its popularity down to the present day is evident by its continually appearing in hymnbooks and being used as a cantus in organ compositions as well as forming the basis for other media of musical composition. The treatment of organ compositions based on this single chorale not only exemplifies the curiously novel attraction that this tune has held for composers, but also supplies a common denominator by which the history of the organ chorale can be generally stated. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE . * . * . * . * * * . * .

Introduction
Introduction During the first half of the eighteenth century, the principalities of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation witnessed a remarkable efflorescence of palace fresco painting executed largely by Italian artists.1 Beginning in the Austrian and Czech lands in the late seventeenth century and spreading to the German territories by 1700, large-scale Italian ceiling paintings soared in popularity as Catholic and Protestant nobles of all ranks competed with one another to produce ever more lavish decorative schemes that expressed their claim to princely power and political authority. Drawing upon various picto- rial styles and iconographic programs from Italy and across Europe, frescoists and decorators developed new types of imagery that uniquely embodied their patrons’ ambitions and cultural aspirations.2 A synthesis of predominantly Italian and French styles and forms per- vaded Austro-German baroque culture and society in this period and critically shaped the evolution of their visual and performing arts.3 Although this book concentrates on Italy’s primary contribution to the production of these monu- mental fresco cycles, it is important to acknowledge that French culture under Louis XIV (1638–1714) and Louis XV (1710–1774) played an equally crucial role in influencing Imperial palace design and decoration as well as court music and theater. In the past, scholars sometimes viewed the presence of these two 1 Starting in the Early Middle Ages under Charlemagne and Otto I and continuing until Napoleon’s dissolution of the Empire in 1806, rulers and authors referred to the loose federation of states overseen by an imperial monarch as the “Heilige Römische Reich Deutscher Nation.” These lands consisted of present-day Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic as well as parts of France, Poland, and Italy.

Johann PACHELBEL - Music for Organ, Harpsichord & Chamber Ensemble
BMC 30 - Johann PACHELBEL - Music for Organ, Harpsichord & Chamber Ensemble Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) was born and died in Nuremberg. His parents enrolled him in St Lorenz High School, and he received his early musical training from the two leading local instructors, Heinrich Schwemmer, who taught him the rudiments of music, and G. C. Wecker, who taught him composition and instrumental performance. To enhance his general education he attended the Auditorium Aegidianum, where sons of the city's cultured families listened to learned lectures. On June 29 th , 1669 he entered the University at Altdorf, where he also served as Organist of the Lorenzkirche. Because his father could not afford to support him, he was forced to leave the University after less than a year. Probably in the Spring of 1670 he enrolled in the Gymnasium Poeticum at Regensburg, where his exceptional academic qualifications were rewarded with a special scholarship over and above the school's normal quota. He was also permitted to study music outside the gymnasium under Kaspar Prentz, a protégé of J. K. Kerll. It was probably under Prentz that he studied the music of leading Italian composers. On May 4 th , 1677 he became Court Organist at Eisenach, under the Capellmeister Daniel Eberlin, in the employ of Prince Johann Georg, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach. After about a year, though Pachelbel had no offer of employment elsewhere, he requested and received from Eberlin a gracious testimonial in which Eberlin described him as a 'perfect and rare virtuoso' . He left Eisenach on May 18 th , 1678. Perhaps by good luck, but more probably by pre-arrangement, Pachelbel found almost immediate re-employment as Organist of the Protestant Predigekirche at Erfurt.
