  • The Crucifixion: Stainer's Invention of the Anglican Passion
    The Crucifixion: Stainer’s Invention of the Anglican Passion and Its Subsequent Influence on Descendent Works by Maunder, Somervell, Wood, and Thiman Matthew Hoch Abstract The Anglican Passion is a largely forgotten genre that flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Modeled distinctly after the Lutheran Passion— particularly in its use of congregational hymns that punctuate and comment upon the drama—Anglican Passions also owe much to the rise of hymnody and small parish music-making in England during the latter part of the nineteenth century. John Stainer’s The Crucifixion (1887) is a quintessential example of the genre and the Anglican Passion that is most often performed and recorded. This article traces the origins of the genre and explores lesser-known early twentieth-century Anglican Passions that are direct descendants of Stainer’s work. Four works in particular will be reviewed within this historical context: John Henry Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary (1904), Arthur Somervell’s The Passion of Christ (1914), Charles Wood’s The Passion of Our Lord according to St Mark (1920), and Eric Thiman’s The Last Supper (1930). Examining these works in a sequential order reveals a distinct evolution and decline of the genre over the course of these decades, with Wood’s masterpiece standing as the towering achievement of the Anglican Passion genre in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The article concludes with a call for reappraisal of these underperformed works and their potential use in modern liturgical worship. A Brief History of the Passion Genre from the sung in plainchant, and this practice continued Medieval Era to the Eighteenth Century through the late medieval and early Renaissance eras.

  • Benjamin Britten's Liturgical Music and Its Place in the Anglican

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This study presents a detailed analysis of the liturgical music of Benjamin Britten (1913- 1976). In addition to several pieces Britten wrote for the Anglican liturgy and one for the Roman Catholic Church, a number of other works, not originally composed for liturgical purpose, but which fonction well in a liturgical setting, are included, providing a substantial repertory which has hitherto received little critical commentary. Although not occupying a place of central importance in the composer’s musical output, it is argued that a detailed examination of this liturgical music is important to form a fuller understanding of Britten’s creative character; it casts additional light on the composer’s technical procedures (in particular his imaginative exploitation of tonal structure which embraced modality, free-tonality and twelve-tone ideas) and explores further Britten’s commitment to the idea of a composer serving society.

  • An Analysis of Middle School SATB and SAB Choral Sight Reading Contest Literature
    Texas Music Education Research, 2013 K. Poché-Rodriguez Edited by Mary Ellen Cavitt, Texas State University An Analysis of Middle School SATB and SAB Choral Sight Reading Contest Literature Kelley Poché-Rodriguez Texas Woman’s University Texas Tech University “The voice should not be made to fit the music, the music should be made to fit the voice” (Collins, 1982, p. 5). Between 2006 and 2012, 9% of all middle school choral entries in the Texas University Interscholastic League (UIL) Concert and Sight Reading Contest consisted of mixed choirs (N=842) (Texas UIL, 2012a). Middle school mixed choirs pose unique pedagogical problems for directors. One such challenge lies in the determination of whether to perform Soprano Alto Tenor Bass (SATB) or Soprano Alto Baritone (SAB) literature. While a director must take into consideration the number, strength, and vocal independence of boys in the choir, the range of the part or parts and the students’ progress in the voice change process are perhaps the most critical factors. The purpose of this study was to conduct an analysis of the UIL SATB and SAB middle school sight-reading literature from 2006 – 2012 and the corresponding UIL sight reading contest ratings. Adolescent Vocal Ranges Voice mutation, occurring in both adolescent males and females, is one of many physiological and psychological changes that occur during puberty (Gackle, 2011). Choral directors face unique challenges as they seek to find appropriate literature for choirs filled with changing voices. Though the characteristic symptoms of voice change may be less drastic in adolescent females than in males, they are present nonetheless (Gackle, 2011).

CATHOLIC CHURCH MUSIC BY RICHARD R.

ABBOT OF DOWNSIDE DEAR ABBOT FORD, I esteem it a privilege to dedicate this book to you. It was entirely due to your support and encouragement that I was able, ten years ago, to begin the work of reviving, on anything like a large scale, the forgotten music of our English Catholic forefathers, and to restore to the Church in their original Latin form, compositions which since 1641 had only appeared in English dress. And it was to your support, as Head of a great Abbey, that it became possible to restore these works under almost the same ideal conditions which obtained in the old days—in a Monastery Church with its school attached, where daily Mass and Office were said; and where the life of the Church was lived from day to day, by monk and scholar, in the quiet seclusion of the Mendip Hills, far from the hurry of roaring towns. It is, moreover, specially fitting that this revival should have taken place at Downside, since the Downside Benedictine monks are the same identical community—without a break in the chain of their continuity — who served Westminster Abbey in the old time before the dissolution of the monasteries.

  • Notation Four-Part Arrangements
    ASU - Instrumentation/Arranging Fall 1999 Dr. Crist Notes from Ostrander Notation · Two types of score layout: 1) Open - each voice is written on its own stave. Use when the vocal parts have different texts. 2) Close - SA on one stave, TB on the other. Use when the vocal parts have identical texts. · Dynamics and expression marks go above the staves. · Use beamed groups rather than flags (antiquated). Four-Part Arrangements · Often set a cappella due to the richness of the voices. · The high tessitura of the SSAA often leads the arranger to add an accompaniment. · TTBB is rich in overtones (as is SATB) and does not require accompaniment. Textures: 1) Note against note - · Emphasizes the text. · Used when the melodic line has fairly fluid rhythmic motion. 2) Animated homophony - · The melody is accompanied by melodic embellishment in the other three parts. · May be used as a textural variant as it produces more rhythmic motion than note against note. · When two voices move together as melodic embellishments they usually move in parallel 3rds or 6ths. 3) Melody line with harmonic support - · Treble dominated texture. · One voice has more rhythmic motion than the rest which are identical in rhythm. Contrapuntal Textures: 1) Countermelody - Harmony added at the end of an SATB arrangement to help achieve the climax. 2) Figuration - non-continuous fragmentary lines that provide rhythmic and melodic punctuation to the original melody. In four-voice textures, figurations appear in three voices with the 4th voice being melody. 3) Ostinato - short repeated motive. In four-voice textures, one voice sings the melody while the other three combine in either note against note or contrapuntal texture with ostinato.
