Josquin Des Prez in Fact and Legend Personal Prayer : Music from the Earliest Notations to the Sixteent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume1/actrade-9780... Oxford History of Western Music: Richard Taruskin See also from Grove Music Online Marian antiphon Guillaume Du Fay PERSONAL PRAYER Chapter: CHAPTER 13 Middle and Low Source: MUSIC FROM THE EARLIEST NOTATIONS TO THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY Author(s): Richard Taruskin These Marian antiphon settings sound a conspicuously personal note that we have not previously encountered in liturgical music. That is another aspect of “middling” tone; but it accords well with the votive aspects of Marian worship, the component of the Christian liturgy that in those days was most intensely “personal.” That, too, was something that could be thematized by a knowing composer, especially a knowing churchman-composer. The supreme case in point for a fifteenth-century motet is the third and most splendid setting Du Fay made of the Marian antiphon Ave Regina coelorum, copied into the choirbooks of Cambrai Cathedral in 1465. It is as impressive a motet as Du Fay or anyone ever composed, but it is impressive in an altogether different way from his earlier large-scale motet settings. Where the isorhythmic Nuper rosarum flores (Ex. 8-8) had impressed by its monumentality, Ave Regina coelorum impresses with an altogether unprecedented expressive intensity—unprecedented, that is, within the motet genre. The personal and votive aspect of this motet are epitomized in a moving set of tropes that Du Fay interpolated into the canonical text of the antiphon, representing a prayer for his own salvation that he wanted sung at his deathbed, and that he wanted to go on being recited after his death in perpetuity, for which, a rich man, he provided an endowment in his will: Ave regina coelorum, Hail, O Queen of Heaven! Ave Domina angelorum, Hail, O Ruler of the Angels! Miserere tui Have mercy on labentis Dufaÿ Thy failing Du Fay, Ne peccatorum throw him not into the in ignem fervorum. raging fire of sinners. Salve radix, salve porta Hail, blessed root and gate, Ex qua mundo lux est orta; From whom came light upon the world! Miserere genitrix Domini Have mercy, mother of God, ut pateat porta coeli debili. that the gate of heaven may be opened to the weak. Gaude, virgo gloriosa, Rejoice, O glorious Virgin, Super omnes speciosa; That surpassest all in beauty! Miserere supplicanti Dufaÿ Have mercy on thy suppliant Du Fay, 1 of 72011.01.27. 9:52 Personal Prayer : Music from the Earliest Notations to the Sixteent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume1/actrade-9780... sitque in conspectu tuo that his death may find mors ejus speciosa. favor in Thy sight. Vale, valde decora Hail, O most lovely of beings, Et pro nobis Christum exora And pray to Christ for us. In excelsis ne damnemur, Let us not be damned on high miserere nobis but have mercy on us, Et juva ut in mortis hora and help us that in our last hour Nostra sint corda decora. our hearts may be upright. The beginning of the motet, containing the opening canonical acclamation and the first of the votive interpolations, is shown in Ex. 13-3a. Again there is a teasing ambiguity between the old cantus-firmus style and the newer paraphrase technique. Both of the duos that together make up the introitus contain paraphrases of the Gregorian antiphon, first in the superius and then in the altus. When the tenor finally makes its dramatic entrance, it, too carries a chant paraphrase, albeit in longer note-values as befits a cantus firmus in the older tradition. But when the tenor intones the canonical chant, the other parts immediately switch over to the trope, so that a kind of old-fashioned polytextualism sets in. 2 of 72011.01.27. 9:52 Personal Prayer : Music from the Earliest Notations to the Sixteent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume1/actrade-9780... 3 of 72011.01.27. 9:52 Personal Prayer : Music from the Earliest Notations to the Sixteent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume1/actrade-9780... ex. 13-3a Guillaume Du Fay, Ave Regina coelorum III, mm. 1-29 The most dramatic touch of all, of course, is the sudden introduction of the E-flat in the superius on “Miserere,” dramatizing in the most tangible way the shift from the impersonal diction of the liturgical chant to the personal voice of the composer. It is hard to ignore its affective significance in light of the text, which speaks of the composer’s frailty and his fears. And so we have an early instance, and in this unexpected context a shattering one, of major–minor contrast in what would become its traditional mood-defining role. The association of the Dorian interval-species with woe and Lydian/Mixolydian with joy was as old as the Marian antiphons themselves (as the contrast of Salve Regina and Regina coeli laetare in Ex. 3-12 sufficed to indicate). But forcing the Dorian interval species into Lydian pitch space, as Du Fay does here, was new and startling in a motet context (although, minus the “straightforward symbolism” of affect, we encountered it two chapters back in Ex. 11-25, Du Fay’s chanson Craindre vous veuil), and, in a newly “middling” way, expressive. Du Fay here speaks to Mary as human to human, seeking a human response (and getting it, at least, from his mortal listeners). Was Du Fay aware, at such a poignant moment, of the inadvertent, irrelevant in-joke of having the added flat 4 of 72011.01.27. 9:52 Personal Prayer : Music from the Earliest Notations to the Sixteent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume1/actrade-9780... (which, to a fifteenth-century singer, meant “sing fa”) occur on the text syllable “Mi-”? No doubt he was as aware of it as any singer would be, and found the irony irresistible—so irresistible that he strove to make it relevant to the affective content of the motet. Ex. 13-3b shows the way in which Du Fay set the one other text line that contained his name: Miserere supplicanti Dufaÿ (“Have mercy on thy suppliant, Du Fay”). This time the tenor, which never partakes of the tropes, is silent. Superius and altus engage in a little canon, both entering with E-flat on “Mi-” as the superius had done before. Even the bassus gets into the act, with a flatted “Miserere” at the fifth, that is on A-flat, which takes it even farther into flat space, and even closer to an adumbration of an actual major–minor “tonal” contrast. ex. 13-3b Guillaume Du Fay, Ave Regina coelorum III, “Miserere supplicanti Dufaÿ” The flats persist until the cadence, where the superius evades occursus with the altus by means of a temporary escape to the third. That third, to remove any doubts caused by the previous infusion of flats, is designated major by specific sign—what we would call a “sharp” or “natural,” which to a fifteenth-century singer meant “sing mi.” And of course it comes on the “-fa-” of the name “Du Fay”! (And that is why the composer signaled his insistence on a three-syllable pronunciation of the name with the modified letter “ÿ.”) It was an inescapable pun for a composer who enjoyed signing his name, both in letters and in musical documents, with the rebus shown in Fig. 13-1. The note on the staff, a C, is “fa” in the “hard” hexachord specified by the composer’s first initial, G. 5 of 72011.01.27. 9:52 Personal Prayer : Music from the Earliest Notations to the Sixteent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume1/actrade-9780... fig. 13-1 Du Fay’s rebus signature. ex. 13-4 Guillaume Du Fay, Missa Ave Regina coelorum, Agnus II This solmization-inversion, paltry musicians’ in-joke though it may be, nevertheless sparked the creation of one of the most affecting passages in the pre-Reformation sacred repertory. Nor is this the first time we have found the lowest form of wit producing, or helping to produce, the highest level of expression. Du Fay certainly recognized the pathos of what he had created and quoted it in the Mass he wrote to accompany his Ave regina coelorum motet at memorial services after his death (Ex. 13-4). Almost needless to say, the quotation comes in the second Agnus Dei, the only tenor tacet section of the Mass that includes the word “Miserere.” There is no analogue to the second pun on “Du-fa-ÿ” here; the harmonic shift, though suggested by the pun, is no longer dependent on it for its effect. The effect of anguished mortality is heightened in the Mass through additional chromaticism: a specifically signed F-sharp right before a specifically signed B-flat in each of the two voices in imitation. The resulting diminished fourth was something that might have been introduced into the motet by daring singers exercising their rights, so to speak, when it came to musica ficta—especially if those singers knew Du Fay’s very late chanson Hélas mon deuil, a ce coup sui je mort (“Alas, my woe, at this blow I die”), where the same tortured interval is demanded for the very same expressive purpose (Ex. 13-5). No contrapuntal situation could demand such a rash of accidentals. It must answer to someone’s specific expressive intent. 6 of 72011.01.27. 9:52 Personal Prayer : Music from the Earliest Notations to the Sixteent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume1/actrade-9780... ex. 13-5 Guillaume Du Fay Hélas mondeuil, mm. 1-8 Du Fay’s Agnus Dei represents a new relationship between a Mass setting and its “raw material”: it is not just a plainchant or a single line extracted from its polyphonic context that lies behind the Mass setting, but a preexistent polyphonic passage that is being cannibalized in its entirety.

  • Guillaume Du Fay Discography
    Guillaume Du Fay Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber This discography of Guillaume Du Fay (Dufay) builds on the work published in Fanfare in January and March 1980. There are more than three times as many entries in the updated version. It has been published in recognition of the publication of Guillaume Du Fay, his Life and Works by Alejandro Enrique Planchart (Cambridge, 2018) and the forthcoming two-volume Du Fay’s Legacy in Chant across Five Centuries: Recollecting the Virgin Mary in Music in Northwest Europe by Barbara Haggh-Huglo, as well as the new Opera Omnia edited by Planchart (Santa Barbara, Marisol Press, 2008–14). Works are identified following Planchart’s Opera Omnia for the most part. Listings are alphabetical by title in parts III and IV; complete Masses are chronological and Mass movements are schematic. They are grouped as follows: I. Masses II. Mass Movements and Propers III. Other Sacred Works IV. Songs (Italian, French) Secular works are identified as rondeau (r), ballade (b) and virelai (v). Dubious or unauthentic works are italicised. The recordings of each work are arranged chronologically, citing conductor, ensemble, date of recording if known, and timing if available; then the format of the recording (78, 45, LP, LP quad, MC, CD, SACD), the label, and the issue number(s). Each recorded performance is indicated, if known, as: with instruments, no instruments (n/i), or instrumental only. Album titles of mixed collections are added. ‘Se la face ay pale’ is divided into three groups, and the two transcriptions of the song in the Buxheimer Orgelbuch are arbitrarily designated ‘a’ and ‘b’.

Many of the early surviving letters by Vasari follow a similar intention. Vasari began working in the Palazzo Vecchio in 1555, and he completed the painting of the Salone dei Cinquecento in 1565. Vasari had completed a first draft of the Ragionamenti in 1558, and in 1560 he brought it to Rome, where it was read by Annibale Caro and shown to Michelangelo (“et molti ragionamenti fatte delle cose dell’arte per poter finire quel Dialogo che già Vi lessi, ragionando lui et io insieme”: Vasari to Duke Cosimo, 9 April 1560).

  • I T a L Y!!! for Centuries All the Greatest Musicians Throughout Europe (From Josquin Des Prez, Adrian Willaert, Orlando Di Lasso to Wolfgang A
    Richie and Elaine Henzler of COURTLY MUSIC UNLIMITED Lead you on a musical journey through I T A L Y!!! For centuries all the greatest musicians throughout Europe (from Josquin des Prez, Adrian Willaert, Orlando di Lasso to Wolfgang A. Mozart and so many others) would make a pilgrimage to Italy to hear and learn its beautiful music. The focus of the day will be music of the Italian Renaissance and its glorious repertoire of Instrumental and Vocal Music. Adrian Willaert, although from the Netherlands, was the founder of the Venetian School and teacher of Lasso, and both Gabrielis. The great Orlando di Lasso (from Flanders) spent 10 years in Italy working in Ferrara, Mantua, Milan, Naples and Rome where he worked for Cosimo I di Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. We’ll also play works by Andrea Gabrieli (uncle of Giovanni). In 1562 Andrea went to Munich to study with Orlando di Lasso who had moved there earlier. Andrea became head of music at St Marks Cathedral in Venice. Giovanni Gabrieli studied at St. Marks with his uncle and in 1562 also went to Munich to study under Lasso. Giovanni’s music became the culmination of the Venetian musical style. Lasso returned to Italy in 1580 to visit Italy and encounter the most modern styles and trends in music. Also featured will be Lodovico Viadana who composed a series of Sinfonias with titles of various Italian cities such as Bologna, Ferrara, Florence, Rome, Padua, Parma, Mantua, Venice and more. These city states are also associated with the delicious food of Italy, some of which we’ll incorporate into the lunch offering.

  • Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600

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.
