  • Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
    Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

  • English Music from the Golden Age
    The Flute and the Lute. Vol. 2 English music from the Golden Age Second Edition Settings for lute and treble instrument by Joaquim Bogunyà Chesa Introduction to the second edition Here you will find a compilation of pieces of some of the best English music from the 16 th and 17 th centuries especially arranged for the recorder flute or any other treble instrument and the lute or the vihuela. The settings have been made according to the same criteria as in Vol 1. I am copying them out here below. In my honest opinion, the ideal setting or transcription is that which fits best the language of the instrument on which the music is to be played. This implies the idea that the best transcription is not necessarily that which includes every single note from the original piece at the same pitch, full stop. Consequently, the settings that you will find in this book are intended to be a faithful transcription of the ‘spirit’ of the music, and not necessarily of the ‘body’ or mere musical appearance. This has been made in order to serve the main purpose of this book; that is, to arrange a repertoire of pieces of wonderful early music in a way that they can be played in a most satisfying manner on the recorder and the lute. In this book you will find different types of transcriptions. Some which are hundred percent true, or at least ninety-nine percent, to the original source – most of the recorder parts are-, and others where some ornamentation (according to the common 16 th century taste) has been included.

His own true passion in life was music. He built up what in his day may well have been the richest music library in Europe. His ambassadors, besides their political duties, were constantly called upon to obtain new musical editions for the library. English music – Catholic sacred music, madrigals, instrumental music – formed a significant part of this collection. This article seeks to describe the extent and comprehensiveness of the English works and to lament the loss of so unparallelled a library in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. In 1578 the 24-year-old King Sebastião of Portugal led his ill- conceived crusade against the Moors in North Africa. The battle that ensued at Alcazar-Qivir proved to be catastrophic for the Portuguese nation. Not only was the monarch never seen again, but the cream of the Portuguese nobility was killed or taken prisoner.
