  • The Crucifixion: Stainer's Invention of the Anglican Passion
    The Crucifixion: Stainer’s Invention of the Anglican Passion and Its Subsequent Influence on Descendent Works by Maunder, Somervell, Wood, and Thiman Matthew Hoch Abstract The Anglican Passion is a largely forgotten genre that flourished in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Modeled distinctly after the Lutheran Passion— particularly in its use of congregational hymns that punctuate and comment upon the drama—Anglican Passions also owe much to the rise of hymnody and small parish music-making in England during the latter part of the nineteenth century. John Stainer’s The Crucifixion (1887) is a quintessential example of the genre and the Anglican Passion that is most often performed and recorded. This article traces the origins of the genre and explores lesser-known early twentieth-century Anglican Passions that are direct descendants of Stainer’s work. Four works in particular will be reviewed within this historical context: John Henry Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary (1904), Arthur Somervell’s The Passion of Christ (1914), Charles Wood’s The Passion of Our Lord according to St Mark (1920), and Eric Thiman’s The Last Supper (1930). Examining these works in a sequential order reveals a distinct evolution and decline of the genre over the course of these decades, with Wood’s masterpiece standing as the towering achievement of the Anglican Passion genre in the immediate aftermath of World War I. The article concludes with a call for reappraisal of these underperformed works and their potential use in modern liturgical worship. A Brief History of the Passion Genre from the sung in plainchant, and this practice continued Medieval Era to the Eighteenth Century through the late medieval and early Renaissance eras.

  • Dismantling the Time: a Theoretical and Practical Basis for Sinusoidal Deconstruction
    Dismantling the time: a theoretical and practical basis for sinusoidal deconstruction Ángel Arranz Master Thesis Institute of Sonology Royal Conservatory of The Hague 2008 Music gives soul to the universe, wings to the thought, flying to the imagination, charm to the sadness, bliss and life to everything. (Plato) Aeterna Renovatio 2 Abstract “The basic purpose of this project is to build an auto-conductive non-harmonic musical system with nine instrumental parts and/or a live electronics field. One of the main properties is dispensability: any of the parts may be omitted without damage in the macrostructure. As the absence of some parts as the combinatorial variability of them do not affect the musical efficacy of the composition. Such a system will be possible thanks to the observation of some compositional conductive models of the past (Flemish polyphony) and some more present, as Xenakis’s stochastic music. Fundamentally, this task is made by means of ‘seeds’, minimal elemental shapes, which create the macro and micro levels of the work. In the first level of the composition, the macroform level, the seeds are implemented in a computer-assisted composition environment using the AC Toolbox program, where a graphics-based grammar is set on a discourse that is drawn in a unique stochastic gesture and later deconstructed. In the second level of composition, the microform level, the seed’s data are used as a controller of electronic gestures implemented in the Max/MSP program. The principal purpose of this level will be to enlarge the compositional domain and give an opportunity of extension to the physical possibilities of instruments, driving it towards the micro-sounds and other parallel temporal processes and having their own self-sufficient process inside the work”.

This was the second event co-ordinated by Aart Brusse, and Christchurch players located a good venue and excellent caterers. The weather delivered crisp frosts followed by lovely clear sunny days so visitors en- joyed some earthquake tourism in Christchurch under favourable conditions. The aim was to play some of the five- and six-part Participants at the Christchurch Consort Weekend repertoire by great composers such as Gibbons, Lawes, Jenkins and Ward. Rhona Lever organised the music and the groups and the expert tutor was Polly Sussex. Music was available to practise beforehand, as it was too difficult for most players to sightread. For most of the time we played in three groups but we also made two bigger groups to do Purcell’s sev- en-part In Nomine. Some of the more difficult pieces were most successful when we played altogether in one group. Players came from Dunedin, Wellington, Auckland and Melbourne to join seven players from Christ- church, and all enjoyed very much the opportunity to play this repertoire.

  • Polyphonic Harmony in Three of Ferruccio Busoni's Orchestral Elegies
    POLYPHONIC HARMONY IN THREE OF FERRUCCIO BUSONI’S ORCHESTRAL ELEGIES Colin Davis, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2015 APPROVED: Timothy L. Jackson, Major Professor Hendrik Schulze, Committee Member Stephen Slottow, Committee Member Frank Heidlberger, Committee Member and Chair of the Department of Music History, Theory, and Ethnomusicology Benjamin Brand, Directory of Graduate Studies for the College of Music James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Davis, Colin. Polyphonic Harmony in Three of Ferruccio Busoni’s Orchestral Elegies. Doctor of Philosophy (Musicology - Music Theory), May 2015, 225 pp., 82 musical examples, bibliography, 91 titles. This dissertation focuses on three of Busoni’s late orchestral works known as “orchestral elegies”: Berceuse élégiaque (Elegie no. 1, 1909), Gesang vom Reigen der Geister (Elegie no. 4, 1915), and Sarabande (Elegie no. 5, 1918-19). The study seeks to provide a better understanding of Busoni’s late style as a crucial bridge from late nineteenth-century chromaticism in the works of Liszt, Wagner, and others to the post-tonal languages of the twentieth century. At the heart of this study lies a particular concept that forms the basis of many characteristic features of Busoni’s late style, namely the concept of polyphonic harmony, or harmony as a cumulative result of independent melodic lines. This concept is also related to a technique of orchestration in which the collective harmony is sounded in such a way that the individual voices are distinct. In the highly personal tonal language of Busoni’s late works, passages often consist of a web of motives weaved throughout the voices at the surface level of the music.

Even though his job in Leipzig kept him very busy, in his spare time, Bach conducted a group of musicians who liked to get together to perform at a local coffee house. During his lifetime, people thought of Bach as just an ordinary working musician. No one really knew much about his music until years after his death, when another composer, Felix Mendelssohn, conducted a performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion. Bach is now seen as one of the greatest geniuses in music history. He wrote all kinds of music -- for organ and other keyboard instruments, orchestras, choirs, and concertos for many different instrumental combinations. He was a devoutly religious man, and knew tragedy: his first wife died suddenly while he was away on business; 12 of his 20 children died in infancy; one of his sons had severe learning difficulties; and another ran away from home in his teens and died in mysterious circumstances. With employers, who rarely appreciated his talents, he was chippy and argumentative; at a family gathering with a few drinks and a pipe of tobacco, however, he was robustly good-humoured, especially when the Bach clan took turns to improvise rude country songs. Bach's style is baroque, characterised by lots of notes, simple motoric rhythms, and steady shifts of underlying harmony - it was derided by some as 'sewing-machine music'.
