Antoine Brumel was a leading French composer of the Franco-Flemish High Renaissance. He held positions in Geneva and Laon, and was in charge of the education of the choirboys at Notre Dame de Paris, before being appointed choirmaster to the Duke of Ferrara in 1506, a post previously held by Josquin des Prez and Jacob Obrecht. This parody mass is based on Josquin sfour-partsettingofapopularFrenchchanson. Editorial Notes: This edition is set one tone lower than the original.

  • Renaissance Terms
    Renaissance Terms Cantus firmus: ("Fixed song") The process of using a pre-existing tune as the structural basis for a new polyphonic composition. Choralis Constantinus: A collection of over 350 polyphonic motets (using Gregorian chant as the cantus firmus) written by the German composer Heinrich Isaac and his pupil Ludwig Senfl. Contenance angloise: ("The English sound") A term for the style or quality of music that writers on the continent associated with the works of John Dunstable (mostly triadic harmony, which sounded quite different than late Medieval music). Counterpoint: Combining two or more independent melodies to make an intricate polyphonic texture. Fauxbourdon: A musical texture prevalent in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, produced by three voices in mostly parallel motion first-inversion triads. Only two of the three voices were notated (the chant/cantus firmus, and a voice a sixth below); the third voice was "realized" by a singer a 4th below the chant. Glogauer Liederbuch: This German part-book from the 1470s is a collection of 3-part instrumental arrangements of popular French songs (chanson). Homophonic: A polyphonic musical texture in which all the voices move together in note-for-note chordal fashion, and when there is a text it is rendered at the same time in all voices. Imitation: A polyphonic musical texture in which a melodic idea is freely or strictly echoed by successive voices. A section of freer echoing in this manner if often referred to as a "point of imitation"; Strict imitation is called "canon." Musica Reservata: This term applies to High/Late Renaissance composers who "suited the music to the meaning of the words, expressing the power of each affection." Musica Transalpina: ("Music across the Alps") A printed anthology of Italian popular music translated into English and published in England in 1588.

    379 A/8/J /AJ. ORLANDO DI LASSO'S MISSA AD IMITATIONEM MODULI DOULCE MEMOIRE: AN EXAMINATION OF THE MASS AND ITS MODEL DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts By Jan Hanson Denton, Texas August, 1986 d • i Hanson, Jan L., Orlando di Lasso's Missa Doulce Memoire: An Examination of the Mass and Its Model, Doctor of Musical Arts (Conducting), August, 19b6, pp. 33, 3 figures, 10 examples, bibliography, 37 titles. Orlando di Lasso is regarded as one of the great polyphonic masters of the Renaissance. An international composer of both sacred and secular music, his sacred works have always held an important place in the choral repertory. Especially significant are Lasso's Parody Masses, which comprise the majority of settings in this genre. The Missa Ad Imitatiomem Moduli Doulce Memoire and its model, the chanson Doulce Memoire by Sandrin, have been selected as the subject of this lecture recital. In the course of this study, the two works have been compared and analyzed, focusing on the exact material which has been borrowed from the chanson. In addition to the borrowed material, the longer movements, especially the Gloria and the Credo, exhibit considerable free material. This will be considered in light of its relation to the parody sections. Chapter One gives an introduction to the subject of musical parody with definitions of parody by several contemporary authors. In addition, several writers of the sixteenth century, including Vicentino, Zarlino, Ponzio, and Cerone are mentioned.

  • Celebrations from the Mediterranean New York Polyphony
    Miller Theatre at Columbia University 2014-15 | 26th Season Early Music Celebrations from the Mediterranean New York Polyphony Saturday, November 15, 8:00 p.m. Church of St. Mary the Virgin From the Executive Director This November at Miller is all about vitality. Cyrus Chestnut is an absolute genius on the piano. I’ve heard him perform at Miller for many years now—long before I became Executive Director—and it’s always a special thrill to hear his stunning improvisations and unique style on our Steinway and in our hall, where each flourish sings. It’s also an absolute joy to welcome Anthony Roth Costanzo to our stage for the first time. The stars aligned to make this Composer Portrait possible: Bernard Rands was completing a new work, ICE expressed great interest in working with him, and Mr. Costanzo had an opening in his schedule—this concert could not have come together more perfectly. New York Polyphony returns with a program to brighten the winter, featuring luxurious works from the Spanish Renaissance. It’s been an ongoing delight to work with this ensemble and to see the acclaim that they’ve garnered since their Miller Theatre debut in 2010. Last year, we commissioned a new piece for them, a work by composer Andrew Smith titled Nowell: Arise and Wake. They premiered it at a snowy concert presented by Miller last December, and the piece is now being highlighted on their album, Sing thee Nowell. I feel lucky to follow the accomplishments of the talented musicians we work with here, and if you’ve been coming to Miller over the years, you may feel the same way.

  • Antoine Brumel 9:13 Than Recording Is, After All, What Music Is About
    CORO hilliard live CORO hilliard live 3 The Hilliard Ensemble For more than three decades now The Hilliard Ensemble has been active in the realms of both early and contemporary music. As well as recording and performing music by composers such as Pérotin, Dufay, Josquin and Bach the ensemble has been involved in the creation of a large number of new works. James MacMillan, Heinz Holliger, Arvo Pärt, Steven Hartke and many other composers have written both large and small-scale pieces for them. The ensemble’s performances frequently include collaborations with other musicians such as the saxophonist Jan Garbarek, violinist ANTOINE Christoph Poppen, violist Kim Kashkashian and orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra. BRUMEL John Potter’s contribution was crucial to getting the Hilliard Live project under way. John has since left to take up a post in the Music Department of York University. His place in the group has been filled by Steven Harrold. www.hilliardensemble.demon.co.uk the hilliard ensemble To find out more about CORO and to buy CDs, visit www.thesixteen.com cor16052 The hilliard live series of recordings came about for various reasons. At the time self-published recordings were a fairly new and increasingly ANTOINE common phenomenon in popular music and we were keen to see if we could make the process work for us in the context of a series of BRUMEL public concerts. Perhaps the most important motive for this experiment was our desire to capture the atmosphere and excitement of concert performances of some of our favourite repertoire.

  • Program Notes FY20C1
    Piffaro’s Beginning Ah, Beginnings…they can be exciting, stimulating and even a little scary at times. They may mark a break with the preexistent in an attempt to chart some new course, or revive an older, lost tradition. So it was with a fledgling group of reed players from the Collegium Musicum at the University of Pennsylvania in 1980, when they decided to launch their own ensemble, calling it simply and graphically, the Renaissance Wind Band. Their intent was to pursue renaissance wind playing, especially the double-reed instruments, the shawms, dulcians, krumhorns and bagpipes, in a way that was lacking in the nascent early music revival in this country at the time, at least on a professional level. It was a courageous and daring leap into the unknown in many ways. And it was Piffaro’s beginning! On a somewhat ragtag collection of instruments, the best available at the time, the group formed a 5-part band and began collecting repertoire, teaching themselves the challenging techniques demanded by the horns, learned how to make successful reeds and figured out who played what, when and how. It was exciting and groundbreaking, something new and uncharted.
