On the Question of the Baroque Instrumental Concerto Typology
Musica Iagellonica 2012 ISSN 1233-9679 Piotr WILK (Kraków) On the question of the Baroque instrumental concerto typology A concerto was one of the most important genres of instrumental music in the Baroque period. The composers who contributed to the development of this musical genre have significantly influenced the shape of the orchestral tex- ture and created a model of the relationship between a soloist and an orchestra, which is still in use today. In terms of its form and style, the Baroque concerto is much more varied than a concerto in any other period in the music history. This diversity and ingenious approaches are causing many challenges that the researches of the genre are bound to face. In this article, I will attempt to re- view existing classifications of the Baroque concerto, and introduce my own typology, which I believe, will facilitate more accurate and clearer description of the content of historical sources. When thinking of the Baroque concerto today, usually three types of genre come to mind: solo concerto, concerto grosso and orchestral concerto. Such classification was first introduced by Manfred Bukofzer in his definitive monograph Music in the Baroque Era. 1 While agreeing with Arnold Schering’s pioneering typology where the author identifies solo concerto, concerto grosso and sinfonia-concerto in the Baroque, Bukofzer notes that the last term is mis- 1 M.

Music by Handel, Purcell, Corelli & Muffat
Belsize Baroque Director: Persephone Gibbs Soprano: Nia Coleman Music by Handel, Purcell, Corelli & Mufat Sunday 27 November 2016, 6.30 pm St Peter’s, Belsize Square, Belsize Park, London NW3 4HY Programme George Friderick Handel (1685–1759) Concerto Grosso in B flat Op.3 No.1 HWV 312 Allegro – Largo – Allegro The Concerti Grossi Opus 3, drawing together pre-existing works by Handel, were published by the less than scrupulous London publisher John Walsh in 1734. A rival composer, Geminiani, had just taken Walsh to court for printing two sets of his Concerti which he claimed Walsh had acquired illegally. While there is no evidence that Handel objected to Walsh’s selection of his works as Opus 3, it looks as if he did not have a chance to edit them pre-publication; it is for instance odd that the last movement of this B flat concerto is in G Minor. The opening movement has solos for the oboes and a violin, the slow movement adds recorders over an orchestral texture with divided violas, and the final movement features bassoons towards the end: all giving London’s best instrumentalists a chance to shine. George Friderick Handel Two arias from the opera Rinaldo, HWV 7 ‘Augelletti, che cantate’ – ‘Lascia ch’io pianga’ Rinaldo is the first Italian opera Handel composed for London, opening in the Haymarket in February 1711. These two arias are sung by Almirena, the daughter of Godfrey of Bouillon, who is capturing the city of Jerusalem from the infidel during the First Crusade (1096–99). Almirena, a character unknown to Torquato Tasso, from whose epic the plot of the opera is drawn, has been introduced into the plot by the librettist to provide a love interest. -
Two Concertos by Obadiah Shuttleworth
TWO CONCERTOS. Being the first & eleventh SOLOS of ye late Arcangello Corelli as they are made into CONCERTOS by Mr: Obadiah Shuttleworth Ingrav'd by T. Cross London Printed & Sold by Joseph Hare at ye Viol & Flute in Cornhill Edited by Andrew Pink INTRODUCTION AND EDITORIAL COMMENTARY Obadiah Shuttleworth (d.1734) was the son of Thomas Shuttleworth of Spitalfields in London. Thomas was a professional music copyist and harpsichord player. The date of Obadiah's birth is uncertain. The Dictionary of National Biography gives c.1675, the Mormon Genealogical Index gives the date as 'about 1680', while the entry in the New Grove Dictionary of Music (2004) gives his birth date as c.1700. Obadiah was an excellent violinist known to have taken part in the influential public concerts arranged by Thomas Britton (1644–1714) 'the musical small coal man' at his business premises in Clerkenwell between 1685 and 1714, and to where musical professionals and amateurs from all ranks of London society were drawn. Shuttleworth also led concerts that were established from about 1728 at the Swan Tavern, Cornhill. The eighteenth-century musical historian Sir John Hawkins wrote of Shuttleworth that he 'played the violin to such a degree of perfection, as gave him a rank among the first masters of his time'. In 1724, having been organist of St Mary’s Whitechapel, Shuttleworth was made organist of St. Michael's, Cornhill and this was announced in the British Journal of 11 January 1724 - ’London. Mr Obadiah Shuttleworth, Organist of St Mary White-chapel, is chosen Organist of St. -
A Técnica De Arranjo E Transcrição De Johann Sebastian Bach T ______E Pedro Rodrigues Universidade De Aveiro S
D E B A A técnica de arranjo e transcrição de Johann Sebastian Bach T _________________________________________________ E Pedro Rodrigues Universidade de Aveiro S Resumo: a utilização de música não originalmente escrita para violão assume, actualmente, um papel fundamental para a multiplicidade de concepções de repertórios. O presente trabalho apresenta um levantamento de processos transcricionais usados por 14 Johann Sebastian Bach em suas transcrições e arranjos. Este conjunto de técnicas permite encontrar alternativas às eventuais problemáticas levantadas durante a transcrição e simultaneamente, processos para manter inalterada a significação proposta pelo compositor. A análise apresentada deverá possibilitar a transcrição de obras onde a facies, diferente do texto original, não comprometerá a significatio proposta pelo seu compositor e, graças à análise histórica, emergir no futuro com novas criações. A constatação de elementos diferenciadores (ad exemplum timbre, cor, elaboração, redução, transposição) reforça a comparação de contrastes entre obra original e obra transcrita. Adicionalmente, este trabalho deseja reforçar a independência estética que se associa a cada uma das versões. Pretende-se assim uma maior conscientização do processo que poderemos chamar de transcricional para que o repertório violonístico alcance uma maior amplitude. Palavras-chave: Transcrição. Arranjo. Violão. Barroco. Performance Johann Sebastian Bach’s method of arrangement and transcription Abstract: The use of music no originally written for guitar, has, nowadays, a main role in the construction of multiple repertories. This work presents an analysis of transcriptional processes used by Johann Sebastian Bach in his arrangements and transcriptions. The array of processes provides alternatives to eventual problems raised during the transcription elaboration and at the same time, options to maintain unaltered the musical intention proposed by the composer. -

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH — Brandenburg Concertos No
JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH — Brandenburg Concertos No. 3 and 5 When asked about what message we might send to an extraterrestrial civilization, physician and former dean of the Yale and NYU medical schools Lewis Thomas remarked, “I would vote for Bach, all of Bach, streamed out into space, over and over again. We would be bragging of course.” Even after more than two-and-a-half centuries since his death in 1750, the music of Johann Sebastian Bach continues to serve as a high-water mark for many musicians, composers, conductors, and music fans. Mozart, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn regarded J.S. Bach as the giant on whose shoulders they stood, and it was his spectacular vision and intricate craftsmanship that inspired them to create masterpieces of their own. And in 1977, the first movement of Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 was chosen as the first musical piece to be played on the Voyager Golden Record, a phonograph record containing a broad sample of Earth's common sounds, languages, and music sent into outer space with the two Voyager probes. Perhaps someday, an alien civilization will acknowledge our “bragging” by sending along some music by a Bach of their own. Together, the Brandenburg Concertos comprise a set of six orchestral compositions dedicated by Bach to Prince Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg in the spring of 1721. These works are not “concertos” in the sense we think of them today, with a single soloist accompanied by the orchestra. Instead, they represent an older tradition of “concerted music,” in which a small group of featured players (the concertino) converse against a background texture of strings and harpsichord (the ripieno). -
