  • Services and Music List
    Services and Music List March and April 2018 WELCOME Much of our attention, both in Church and in the world, is given to what is extraordinary; to anything which is unusual or which stands out. The daily round of prayer and praise at the Cathedral reminds us that our access to God, and our privilege to begin and end each day begun and ended in God – is far from ordinary. The gold of word and sacrament is supported here at Wells through sensitively chosen and performed music, which for many, is the very ‘language of God.’ It enables us to reflect our world and its triumphs and tribulations back to God creatively and so to experience our share in the divine life. We hope very much that you will join us when you can. The Reverend Canon Nicholas Jepson-Biddle, Precentor Communicant members of other churches in good standing are welcome to receive the Sacrament in this church if they so desire. IN RESIDENCE February 25 – March 3: The Very Reverend Dr John Davies, DL, Dean March 4 – 10: The Reverend Canon Andrew Featherstone, Chancellor March 11 – 17: The Reverend Canon Nicholas Jepson-Biddle, Precentor March 18 – 24: The Venerable Anne Gell, Archdeacon of Wells March 25 – 31: The Reverend Canon Nicholas Jepson-Biddle, Precentor April 1 – 7: The Reverend Canon Andrew Featherstone, Chancellor April 8 – 14: The Very Reverend Dr John Davies, DL, Dean April 15 – 21: The Reverend Canon Andrew Featherstone, Chancellor April 22 – 28: The Reverend Canon Nicholas Jepson-Biddle, Precentor April 29 – May 5: The Very Reverend Dr John Davies, DL, Dean WELLS CATHEDRAL CHOIR The Cathedral’s Organist and Master of the Choristers, Prebendary Matthew Owens, is always pleased to hear from parents of prospective choristers.

Averse as Sir Arthur is to the " interview " in journalism, I could not resist the temptation to ask him to let me do something of the sort when I first had the pleasure of meeting ^ him — not in regard to journalistic matters — some years ago. That permission was most genially , granted, and the little chat which I had with J him then, in regard to the opera which he was writing, appeared in The World.

  • 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.

The University Singers and the Department of Music also extend thanks to Michael Straw and the people of Broadway Christian Church of Columbia for the use of their facilities. ♦ Program Notes and Translations The Marienlieder illustrate Johannes Brahms' (1833-1897) fondness for folk songs and early music. The cycle of unaccompanied part songs uses traditional texts that are a combination of documented events and legends that praise Mary for her pure and holy spirit. Brahms composed the cycle in the style of early German church music; as a result they sound closer to strophic chorales or carols than Romantic choral music.
