Welcome, New Faculty 2008 summer vol xvi · no 9 music · worship · arts Prismyale institute of sacred music common ground for scholarship and practice Welcome, New Faculty Martin D. Jean In the 2008-09 academic year we welcome two familiar faces to the ISM and one new one. The bells are still pealing in celebration of Peter Hawkins’s return to Yale. You can read a full report on Prof. Hawkins and his work in the April 2007 edition of Prism. Peter taught religion and literature at Yale before leaving in 2000 to go to Boston University. Here he was a member of the Religion faculty and directed the Luce program in Scripture and the Literary Arts, an interdisciplinary program which explored the literary afterlife of the Bible. Peter now returns to the ISM and YDS having conducted a number of new studies at BU which produced books such as Scrolls of Love: Ruth and the Song of Songs; Medieval Readings of Romans; and From the Margin I: Women of the Hebrew Bible and Their Afterlives (2008). Peter will teach courses familiar to many ISM graduates on the work of Dante, the literature of the Passion, and modern religious poets. Additionally, he will teach a course on Genesis and its literary afterlife with Victoria Hoffer, lecturer in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. Gordon Lathrop will again be Visiting Professor of Liturgical Studies, and this year he will also serve as Acting Assistant Dean for Chapel while Siobhán Garrigan is on leave. Professor Lathrop visits from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia, where he is Charles A. Schieren Professor of Liturgy, Emeritus. Previously, he taught at Wartburg Theological Seminary, Dubuque, Iowa; was campus pastor at Pacific Lutheran University, Tacoma, Washington; and served as parish pastor in Darlington, Wisconsin. He has been a Lutheran pastor for 36 years, twenty of which have been spent at the Seminary in Philadelphia. Among other books, he is the author of Holy Things: A Liturgical Theology (Fortress 1993), Holy People: A Liturgical Ecclesiology (Fortress, 1999), Holy Ground: A Liturgical Cosmology (Fortress, 2003), Central Things: Worship in Word and Sacrament (Augsburg Fortress, 2005), and The Pastor: A Spirituality (Fortress, 2006). Together with Timothy Wengert, he has also published Christian Assembly: Marks of the Church in a Pluralistic Age (Fortress 2004). He has lectured widely, been a visiting professor at the University of Uppsala in Sweden, and, in the 1990s, was a participant in Faith and Order consultations on worship and Christian unity, and Lutheran World Federation consultations on worship and culture. He is an associate editor of the journal Worship and was the tenth president of the North American Academy of Liturgy. continued on page 2 New Faculty continued from page 1 Musical Offering: Robin Leaver is a long- St. John Passion time friend of the Institute but this year will be his Schola Cantorum’s new CD of the St. John first on the faculty as he Passion on the Gothic label, whose release fills in for Margot Fassler was announced in the March Prism, has been who is on leave for the reviewed by Brian Clark for Early Music Review. year.

Jean The 2008 ISM study trip was four years in the making. Already while planning the 2006 trip to Mexico we had our sights set on southeastern Europe as a possible next venue. There were many reasons for this: the close proximity of so many different religious communities (Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Orthodox); the rich and varied practices of worship, music, and arts within those cultures; and, of course, our daily access here at Yale to one of the world’s great theologians, Miroslav Volf, who calls that part of the world home. You have already met our guide, Prof. Ivica Novakovic, who wrote about the trip in the last issue of Prism. Prof. Novakovic, himself Croatian, was introduced to us by Miroslav Volf, and in live there. We were deeply touched by the openness the course of one and generosity of our hosts who were consistently short year became willing not only to communicate the facts of their our collaborator, lives, but also the feelings.

  • Re/Defining the Imaginary Museum of National Music
    Re/Defining the Imaginary Museum of National Music The Case of Croatia Zdravko Blažekovic´ The historian is a product of history himself, and of his situation. However hard we may try, he cannot escape the molding of his mind by his experience and his surroundings.1 Music historiography in Croatia was throughout the twentieth century marked by the path established in the late nineteenth century by Franjo Ksaver Kuhač (1834-1911), who defined the criteria for inclusion of musicians into the national canon on the basis of their Croatian ethnic origin rather than presenting cultural circles in which they were active. In the twentieth century, the central influence on the definition of the canon of Croatian music history came from Josip Andreis (1909-1982) in his historical survey published in three Croatian editions (Razvoj muzičke umjetnosti u Hrvatskoj [The development of musical arts in Croatia], 1962; Povijest hrvatske glazbe [History of Croatian music], 1974, 1989) and two English editions (Music in Croatia 1974, 1982). Synthesizing the existing views about Croatian music, he constructed in his narrative a museum of Croatian and foreign com- posers active in Croatia, as well as composers born in Croatia but living abroad. Besides nationalistic traits inherited from Kuhač, a reason for emphasizing activities of composers working abroad were the political and cultural circumstances surrounding Andreis during the time of communist Yugoslavia, when Croatian connections with the Central European musical space were particularly appreciated, especially when the quality of composers living abroad surpassed the musical production within the country. Being a part of multina- tional Yugoslavia situated between the Eastern and Western cultural and religious spheres, Croatians at the time wanted to distance themselves from the cultures in Eastern Europe and felt the need to be reassured about their belonging to Slavia Latina.

Lowinsky's edition of the Medici Co­ dex.' The theses presented by Lowinsky concerning the Medici Co­ dex and concerning Bologna, Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale, 92 MS Q 19, "the Rusconi Codex," have occasioned much comment and stimulated substantial new research. Most of the discussion concern­ ing Q 19 has been tied to the hypotheses set out by Lowinsky, and less has been said about the general problems presented by the manu­ script.2 In view of the recent publication of the manuscript in the Garland series of Renaissance Music in Facsimile, the time is ripe to synthesize some of the subsequent research findings-mostly pub­ lished as reviews of or responses to Lowinsky-and to add new evi­ dence that may present a solution to the problems of dating and provenance.'~ The question of the provenance of Q 19 has aroused a great deal of debate not only because of the importance of the collection, but because it offers so many different clues. I will deal briefly with the relevant aspects of physical structure and organization.

Doctoral Dissertations. 798. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/798 The Secular Latin-Texted Works of Adrian Willaert Jonathan Wil Harvey, DMA University of Connecticut, 2015 Abstract In addition to a large body of extant works including masses, hymns, psalm settings, motets, chansons, madrigals, canzone villanesche, and instrumental ricercares, sixteenth-century composer Adrian Willaert (1490 – 1562) also wrote nine settings of secular Latin texts. These nine works can be divided into three categories: five civic motets (Adriacos numero, Haud aliter, Inclite Sfortiadum princeps, Si rore Aonio, and Victor io salve); three settings of excerpts from Virgil’s Aeneid (O socii and two settings of “Dulces exuviae”); and one unique, enigmatic outlier (Flete oculi). These pieces are rarely considered in the existing literature, and many scholars conflate the two “Dulces exuviae” settings as a single work. The texts of six of the nine pieces have never been translated into English before. This study examines these nine pieces through their text, musical material, and cultural-political background in order to determine their function and context. The first chapter of this study consists of a brief summary of Willaert’s life and an examination of the extant sources of his work. In the next chapter, I discuss the genre of the civic motet and examine Willaert’s five contributions to it.

  • Early Printed Music and Material Culture in Central and Western
    6 Three Libri missarum of early Lutheran Germany: some reflections on their repertory Carlo Bosi By the time Johann Petreius, Hieronymus Formschneider and Georg Rhau issued their important mass collections (1539, 1539 and 1541, respectively), all three men were already well-established and successful printers.1 Both Petreius and Rhau were accomplished mu- sicians; Rhau was even a composer; both could therefore act as editors and publishers of their anthologies. By contrast, Formschneider, whose family name was Andreae, was ‘only’ a very gifted type- and wood-cutter, as his sobriquets Formschneider (‘type-cutter ’) and Grapheus (‘graphic artist’ or ‘scribe’) suggest. Formschneider acted exclusively as printer and had thus little or no control on the contents of ‘his’ publications; indeed, it is even doubtful whether he possessed any musical knowledge.2 However, his achievements and reputation as a proficient artisan attracted music publishers, such as Hans Ott, who com- missioned him to print several editions in 1538, but also the Missae tredecim quatuor vocum, published in 1539, all funded and edited by Ott. At the start of the lengthy dedicatory letter prefaced to the tenor partbook, Ott states that with this mass collection he wanted to make available ‘monuments’ by celebrated composers not only so that they might be in the hands of many, but also in order to preserve them for posterity.3 A synoptic comparison of the three collections (see Table 6.1) shows that while all three of them draw for the most part from a well-established international repertory, the only overlap concerns the two early Josquin masses L’homme armé super voces musicales and Fortuna desperata, found in both Petreius and Formschneider/Ott.

Schlagel 2008 ABSTRACT The first quarter of the sixteenth century witnessed tightening connections between rhetoric, poetry, and music. In theoretical writings, composers of this period are evaluated according to their ability to reflect successfully the emotions and meaning of the text set in musical terms. The same period also witnessed the rise of the five- and six-voice chanson, whose most important exponents are Josquin des Prez, Pierre de La Rue, and Jean Mouton. The new expanded textures posed several compositional challenges but also offered greater opportunities for text expression. Rhetorical analysis is particularly suitable for this repertory as it is justified by the composers’ contacts with humanistic ideals and the newer text-expressive approach. Especially Josquin’s exposure to humanism must have been extensive during his long-lasting residence in Italy, before returning to Northern France, where he most likely composed his multi- voice chansons.

This ethos Istria: helps to showcase our region as a year-round destination. Life as it should be 'Life as it should be' is our motto. And whichever time of year you visit our beautiful peninsula, you will be able to take part in a traditional, healthy and sustainable way of life, one governed by seasons which provide a bounty of globally- recognised produce. Our crystal-clear Adriatic offers up the most exquisite, fresh seafood, providing much of the Mediterranean-style diet we consume. From our continental side, the spectacular hilltop towns of Istria and the terraces of vineyards and olive groves give us award-winning wines and olive oils. Famous too are our rich black and white truffles and fine cheeses, both of which stem from the same beloved terrain and terroir as our wines and olives. Beat the crowds by visiting in springtime, walking down romantic, cobbled streets unfettered by fellow tourists, or arrive in the summertime so the family can take advantage of our beautiful beaches, clean sea and dependable sun- shine. Autumn shows Istria at its best; the weather is good and the sea is still warm enough to swim in, it coincides with harvest time, the arrival of the year's new truffles and the start of the hunting season. Each season Istria has its own cultural calendar, from famous film and music festivals to time-honoured food celebrations.
