The Church of the Epiphany Tuesday Concert Series THE TUESDAY CONCERT SERIES THE CHURCH OF THE EPIPHANY Since Epiphany was founded in 1842, music has played a vital at Metro Center role in the life of the parish. Today, Epiphany has three fine musical instruments which are frequently used in programs and worship. The Steinway D concert grand piano was a gift to the church in 1984, in memory of parishioner and vestry member Paul Shinkman. The 64-rank, 3,467-pipe Æolian-Skinner pipe organ was installed in 1968 and has recently been restored by the Di Gennaro-Hart Co. It was originally given in memory of Adolf Torovsky, Epiphany’s organist and choirmaster for nearly fifty years. The 3-stop chamber organ by Orglarstvo Škrabl of Slovenia was commissioned in 2014 in memory of Albert and Frances Manola. 1317 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20005 HOW YOU CAN HELP SUPPORT THE SERIES www.epiphanydc.org The Tuesday Concert Series reaches out to the entire [email protected] metropolitan Washington community.

Various written documents (i.e. records of payments to minstrels), still surviving from the Middle Ages, testify to this having Kyrie Anonymous been the case. Moreover, they remind us how much music has gone lost for one simple reason: players usually did not write down their Ghaetta Anonymous compositions; craft of an instrumentalist was learned by example, by watching and imitating the masters, and was in turn shared in the Du’ançoliti Anonymous same way. Therefore, to find a a piece of Medieval instrumental music In perial sedendo Anonymous, after in written form (and even more so a group of pieces or a whole book Bartolino da Padova of it) is rare. We may already consider ourselves extremely lucky to possess what we do. Per non far lietto Gherardello da Firenze Sometime around the year 1400, somewhere in the Northern Italy, Saltarello Anonymous two separate anonymous hands wrote down what was to become a source of unceasing fascination for both musical scholars and Aquila altera Anonymous, after performers in the twentieth century. The first hand copied a group of Jacopo da Bologna textless, monophonic compositions of unclear origin into an otherwise Era Venus Don Paolo da Firenze typical anthology of the fourteenth-century Italian polyphonic music (this manuscript is now kept in the British Library in London under the signature Add. 29987). The second has gone even further, writing Quant je suis mis au retour Guillaume de Machaut down an entire codex of instrumental music. This one is now kept in Saltarello Anonymous the Biblioteca Comunale (signature 117) in a little North-Italian town of Faenza, and contains arrangements of the fourteenth-century Untitled piece Anonymous French and Italian sacred and secular polyphony. Existence of these Amen Anonymous manuscripts, which are among the most important sources of their kind, allows us to perceive a glimpse of the long-gone universe of the Medieval instrumental music. A musician wishing to perform this music must first face a couple of After graduating in Baroque music performance on the recorder and uncomfortable and likely unanswerable performance-practical harpsichord from the Lucerne Academy of Music, Corina questions.

Die musikalischen Quellen, mindestens sieben erhaltene, zum Teil umfangreiche Handschriften4 sowie eine erhebliche und durch jüngste Entdeckungen stetig anwachsende Zahl von Fragmenten, stam- men – bis auf eine Ausnahme – aus der Zeit um und nach 1400. Sie zeich- nen die Musik nach Tonhöhe und Rhythmus präzise in Mensuralnotation auf. Aufgrund der besagten Ausnahme, des erst in den 1920er Jahren entdeckten Codex Rossi (ca. 1350),5 konnte man die eigenständige Ausprägung dieser mehr- stimmigen Kompositionsweise schon für die Mitte des 14.

  • Contratenor Parts in Polyphonic Songs from the Late Trecento (Italy, Ca
    journal of interdisciplinary music studies 2014-2016, volume 8, issue 1&2, art. #16081203, pp. 65-78 open peer commentary article Contratenor parts in polyphonic songs from the late Trecento (Italy, ca. 1400): Challenges for concepts of polyphony and improvisation Signe Rotter-Broman Universität der Künste Berlin Background in music history. In the 14th century, both in France (Ars nova) and in Italy (Trecento) emerge highly specialized compositional practices of polyphonic songs on vernacular texts in the formes fixes. Whereas transmission in two voices (cantus and tenor) is predominant in the early Trecento, after mid-century a three-voice-transmission (cantus, tenor, and contratenor) becomes increasingly important, but exists side by side with a continous transmission in two voices. Background in music psychology. Music and cognition, especially theories on expectation. Aims. For an analysis of the contratenor concept in Italian Trecento music, some prominent terms as counterpoint, improvisation, or polyphony have to be re-evaluated. In addition, some concepts from the field of music cognition are discussed for their relevance for musicological research on early polyphony. Main contribution. The contratenor concept of the late Trecento is based on a model of polyphony which is not strictly linear (i. e. a combination of several independent melodic lines), but a combination of a cantus-tenor-core and a contratenor which acts as a sort of ‘commentary’. This concept of polyphony refers to the theory of contrapunctus and to the genre conventions of the formes fixes. The comparison of two different contratenors to Bartolino da Padova’s ballata El no me giova reveals common functions of the two contratenors even though their idioms are quite different.

La música europea nace, por tanto,A en un ambiente eminentemente ruralizado y religioso. El canto gregoriano se difunde gracias a las órdenes monásticas y las rutas de peregrinación, y el auge de las ciudades −con los casos paradigmáticos de París y Florencia− hace surgir nuevas técnicas compositivas que han caracterizado la música occidental hasta la actualidad: la polifonía y el contrapunto. Mientras en el norte sobreviven creencias y melodías precristianas, el Ars Nova anticipa un otoño de la Edad Media que llega en medio de fuertes convulsiones. Corrientes como el Ars Subtilior, que apelan más al intelecto que a los sentidos, darán paso rápidamente a un equilibrio polifónico con Flandes como avanzadilla que anuncia el Humanismo.

  • John NA.Nas the SONGS of DON PAOLO TENORISTA
    JoHN NA.nAs THE SONGS OF DON PAOLO TENORISTA: THE MANUSCRIPT TRADITION From the time of the pioneering and inspired essays of Nino Pirrotta and Ettore Li Gotti begun some four decades ago, the Florentine com­ poser Don Paolo Tenorista has become at once one of the more studied musicians of the last phase of the Italian Ars nova, both for the number and quality of his songs, and one of the most enigmatic regarding his whereabouts and the dating of his compositions.1 Recent biographical discoveries have painted a more vivid picture of Paolo than that of any of his colleagues or predecessors, including the more famous Francesco Landini, and allow us to place the composer at the forefront of musical activities in Florence during the first two decades of the Quattrocento.2 Today, although the majority of Paolo's songs have been identified and made available in modern editions, his compositions are rarely performed and few have been recorded.3 The present study focuses on a fresh look at 1 NINo PrRROTTA and ETTORE Lr GoTTI, Il codice di Lucca, « Musica Disciplina », Ill, 1949, pp. 119-138; IV, 1950, pp. 111-152; V, 1951, pp. 115-142; NrNo PIRROTTA and ETTORE Lr GOTTI, Paolo Tenorista, fio rentino «extra moenia », in Estudios dedicados a Menendez Pidal, Ill, Madrid, Consejo superior de investigaciones cientificas 1952, pp. 577- 606; NrNo PrRROTTA , Paolo da Firenze in un nuovo frammento dell'ars nova, « Musica Disciplina », X, 1956, pp. 61-66; ID., Paolo Tenorista in a New Fragment of the Italian Ars Nova, Palm Springs, Gottlieb 1961.
