  • Frescobaldi Gesualdo Solbiati
    Frescobaldi Gesualdo Solbiati FRANCESCO GESUALDI Accordion Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583 -1643) If we think of the theatre as a place in which audiences not only perceive with their eyes and ears, but also their deeper feelings, then the work presented in this recording Dal II Libro di Toccate is in many respects theatrical. The explanation lies in the fact that one of Francesco 1. Toccata I 4’42 Gesualdi’s particular gifts as a performer is his ability to produce sounds that conjure 2. Toccata II 4’44 up the action underlying the music, and indeed evoke the spaces in which the events 3. Toccata III, da sonarsi alla Levatione 8’51 take place. This is particularly noteworthy when performance is actually separated 4. Toccata IV, da sonarsi alla Levatione 6’58 from the reality of visualization. 5. Toccata VIII, di Durezze e Ligature 5’01 The synaesthetic experience underlying vision and visionary perception is arguably one of the fundamental ingredients of the “Second Practice”, or stile moderno, which Dal I Libro di Toccate aimed at engaging the feelings of the listener. This art was essential to the evocative 6. Partite sopra l'Aria della Romanesca (1–14) 21’49 power of Frescobaldi’s music. In his performance Francesco Gesualdi establishes a particular spatial and temporal Carlo Gesualdo (1566–1613) universe in which the constraints of absolute formal rigour are reconciled with 7. Canzon francese del Principe 6’40 freedom of accentuation and vital breath, so as to invest each execution with the immediacy of originality. In this ability to renew with each rendering, Gesualdi’s Alessandro Solbiati (1956) playing speaks for the way wonderment can forge the essential relationship between 8.

  • Exploring Implications of the Double Attribution of the Madrigal “Canzon Se L’Esser Meco” to Andrea Gabrieli and Orlande De Lassus
    A 16th Century Publication Who-Dun-it: Exploring implications of the double attribution of the madrigal “Canzon se l’esser meco” to Andrea Gabrieli and Orlande de Lassus. Karen Linnstaedter Strange, MM A Double Attribution Why was a single setting of “Canzon se l’esser meco” published in 1584 and 1589 under different composers’ names? For centuries, music history has ascribed this setting of a text from a Petrarchan madrigale to either Orlande de Lassus or Andrea Gabrieli, depending on the publication. It has been assumed the two original publications contain distinct creations of “Canzon se l’esser meco,” and to support this confusion, slight differences in notation between the two modern editions induce an initial perception that the two pieces differ. (See Figures 1A & 1B.). With a few moments of comparison, one can see that the madrigal published under Orlande de Lassus’ name in 1584 is the same piece attributed to Andrea Gabrieli by a different publisher five years later. In fact, no difference exists in the original publications beyond incidental choices by the two publishers, such as the number of notes printed per line and the notation for repeated accidentals. 1 (See Figures 2-5 A & B.) Suppositions and Presumptions The exactness of the two publications provokes interesting questions about issues of personal composer relations and influence, study by copying, and misattribution. In exploring all the possibilities, some quite viable, others farfetched, we can perhaps gain a clearer overview of the issues involved. On the less viable side, perhaps the piece was written simultaneously by each composer and, through some miracle, the two pieces turned out to be exactly the same.

  • Paul O'dette Program Notes
    PROGRAM NOTES Known to his contemporaries as “The English Orpheus,” John Dowland was the most celebrated lutenist of his time and one of England’s greatest composers. His music was extraordinarily popular throughout Europe and was published in more cities than any other composer of the time. The celebrated Lachrimae Pavin alone survives in over 100 different versions. Nevertheless, Dowland’s career was filled with shattered dreams and frustrations, resulting in his adoption of the motto “Semper Dowland semper dolens” (Always Dowland, always sorrowing). The intense melancholy that pervades much of his music is a personal expression of the bitterness he felt due to the lack of a royal appointment and the dearth of respect shown him by younger players. At the same time, the modern preoccupation with Dowland’s melancholy creates a one-sided impression of a multi-faceted personality. Though his doleful works are justly famous, Dowland’s lively pieces, particularly his galliards and jigs, evoke a humor and wit unmatched by any of his contemporaries. Tonight's program includes some of his least frequently performed pieces alongside some of his most famous works. Dowland’s life unfolded as a colorful series of restless moves and wanderings. He had converted to Catholicism during his late teens while serving the English ambassador in Paris, and he contended until the end of his life that this conversion was the cause of his exclusion from Queen Elizabeth’s court. But it seems possible that his volatile temperament and outspokenness may have played an equal role. After his six-year sojourn in France and his return to England in 1586, he studied and worked in his native country until 1595.

She has performed solo recitals on the harpsichord, organ, and pedal harpsichord to critical acclaim throughout the United States and in Germany. Her PHILIPS performances as a collaborative artist, concerto soloist, and basso-continuo player have (1560/61–1628) also earned high praise. Her recording of Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre’s Suites Nos. 1-6 for Harpsichord (Naxos 8.557654-55) was awarded the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, Bestenliste 1/2006. Elizabeth Farr holds degrees in harpsichord and organ performance from Stetson University, the Juilliard School, and Harpsichord Works the University of Michigan, having studied with Paul Jenkins, Vernon de Tar, and Edward Parmentier. Currently she is on the faculty of the University of Colorado where Fantasia in F • Bonjour mon cœur • Io partirò she teaches harpsichord and organ, conducts the Early Music Ensemble, and offers classes in performance practices and basso-continuo playing. Elizabeth Farr The Harpsichord Jerome de Zentis was a consummate musical instrument-maker. He built instruments first in Rome, then in Florence for the Medici family, London as the ‘King’s Virginal Maker’, Stockholm as the instrument-maker to the court, Viterbo for the Pope, and finally in Paris for the King of France. The instrument used in this recording is one he made upon his return to Italy after ten years in Sweden as the instrument-maker royal to Queen Christina. This instrument is unusual because it is clearly an Italian instrument, but appears to have been made by a North German maker, or at least an Italian maker who was fully informed of the Northern European harpsichord-making practices and materials.

    Reviews Bizzarini, Marco. Luca Marenzio. The Career of a Musician Between the Renais- sance and the Counter-Reformation, trans. James Chater. Aldershot, UK/Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2003. xvii, 370 pp. ISBN 0-7546-0516-7 US.$ 84.95 “Muti una volta quel suo antico stile / Ch’ogni uom attrista e me po far sì lieto.” In setting this phrase from Petrarch’s famous sestina Mia benigna fortuna (Rime, 332), sixteenth-century composer Luca Marenzio underscored the contradiction between the grief that death brings to all men, and the happiness that it might bring the poet, by juxtaposing slow moving, unusual vertical progressions and linear chromaticism with lively tunefulness and harmonic sweetness. This kind of word painting is an integral part of the sixteenth-century madrigal. To Maren- zio, however, goes the distinction of a musical style that most artfully mirrors the contrast between piacevolezza and gravità so popular with sixteenth-century poets and composers. Marco Bizzarini’s study of Marenzio is itself grounded in this idea of contrast, suggesting that such varietà characterises not only Maren- zio’s music, but also a “musical career suspended between the glittering worldli- ness of the late Renaissance and the more introspective spirit of the Counter Reformation” (p. ix). This book is a translation (revised and expanded) from the original Italian version published in 1998. Several book-length studies of Marenzio’s music already exist and, perhaps for this reason, Bizzarini forgoes detailed musical analysis in favour of a close study of the web of personal and professional connections that influenced the course of Marenzio’s career.

First an in-depth analysis of the alto trombone methods currently available was presented. The methods were analyzed with regard to progressive arrangement, readability of text and music, balance in the use of keys and registers, inclusion of a position chart and orchestral excerpts, and the pedagogical and musical quality of the etudes. The second part of this paper was a study of occurrences of the alto trombone on student recitals in the United States as reported in publications of the International Trombone Association from 1979-2004.

  • Aj. Orlando Di Lasso's Missa Ad Imitationem Moduli Doulce
    379 A/8/J /AJ. ORLANDO DI LASSO'S MISSA AD IMITATIONEM MODULI DOULCE MEMOIRE: AN EXAMINATION OF THE MASS AND ITS MODEL DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts By Jan Hanson Denton, Texas August, 1986 d • i Hanson, Jan L., Orlando di Lasso's Missa Doulce Memoire: An Examination of the Mass and Its Model, Doctor of Musical Arts (Conducting), August, 19b6, pp. 33, 3 figures, 10 examples, bibliography, 37 titles. Orlando di Lasso is regarded as one of the great polyphonic masters of the Renaissance. An international composer of both sacred and secular music, his sacred works have always held an important place in the choral repertory. Especially significant are Lasso's Parody Masses, which comprise the majority of settings in this genre. The Missa Ad Imitatiomem Moduli Doulce Memoire and its model, the chanson Doulce Memoire by Sandrin, have been selected as the subject of this lecture recital. In the course of this study, the two works have been compared and analyzed, focusing on the exact material which has been borrowed from the chanson. In addition to the borrowed material, the longer movements, especially the Gloria and the Credo, exhibit considerable free material. This will be considered in light of its relation to the parody sections. Chapter One gives an introduction to the subject of musical parody with definitions of parody by several contemporary authors. In addition, several writers of the sixteenth century, including Vicentino, Zarlino, Ponzio, and Cerone are mentioned.
