  • Notes – RECORDER CONSORT VIOLS Trotto (Anon Italian 14Th Century) Is a Lively Monophonic Dance in the Form of a Rondeau
    - Notes – RECORDER CONSORT VIOLS Trotto (Anon Italian 14th century) is a lively monophonic dance in the form of a rondeau. It originated around 1390.The time signature for the trotto is given as 6/8, Richard Mico (1590-1661) and John Jenkins (1592-1678) are celebrated fantasy and is infused with the triple meter swing, kind of like listening to horse riding and composers. This form is rather like an instrumental madrigal in which several points fox hunting. In Italian, trotto means to trot. of imitation are developed one after the other. Jenkins is our favourite composer, an inexhaustibly inventive melodist and a consummate contrapuntist. Like many of the English fantasy composers and like Haydn, Jenkins resided on the estates of the Virgo Rosa ( Gilles Binchois 1400-1460) provincial gentry; he preferred to be treated as a gentleman house-guest of Lord Gilles Binchois was a Franco-Flemish composer, one of the earliest members of the Dudley North (an amateur treble viol player) rather than an employee.

  • An Examination of the Seventeenth-Century English Lyra
    An examination of the seventeenth-century English lyra viol and the challenges of modern editing Volume 1 of 2 Volume 1 Katie Patricia Molloy MA by Research University of York Music January 2015 Abstract This dissertation explores the lyra viol and the issues of transcribing the repertoire for the classical guitar. It explores the ambiguities surrounding the lyra viol tradition, focusing on the organology of the instrument, the multiple variant tunings required to perform the repertoire, and the repertoire specifically looking at the solo works. The second focus is on the task of transcribing this repertoire, and specifically on how one can make it user-friendly for the 21st-century performer. It looks at the issues of tablature, and the issues of standard notation, and finally explores the notational possibilities with the transcription, experimenting with the different options and testing their accessibility. Volume II is a transliteration of solo lyra viol works by Simon Ives from the source Oxford, Bodleian Library Music School MS F.575. It includes a biography of Simon Ives, a study of the manuscript in question and describes the editorial procedures that were chosen as a result of the investigations in volume I. 2 Contents Volume I Abstract 2 Acknowledgements 6 Declaration 7 Introduction 8 1.

  • A1 JOHN JENKINS Fantasias
    A1 JOHN JENKINS Fantasias: Nos. 1–12 a 6. In nomines: Nos. 1–2 a 6. Pavan in F. Bell Pavan in a • Phantasm (period instruments) • LINN 556 (Download: 66=07) JOHN WARD Fantasias: Nos. 1–7 a 6; Nos. 1–12 a 5. In nomines: Nos. 1–2 a 6; a 5 • Phantasm (period instruments) • LINN 339 (Download: 77=57) I am dealing with these two releases together because neither is new and both have been reviewed previously, though one of them, the Jenkins, not in its current incarnation. So let me sort things out. First, if a record labelʼs numbering scheme means anything, one assumes that the higher the number the more recent the recording. Not so in this case. The Jenkins release, bearing the number 556, was recorded in 2005; the Ward, bearing the number 339, was recorded in 2009. The Jenkins was originally released on Avie, the label under which Brian Robins reviewed it in 30=2, so we know this is a reissue on the Linn label. The Ward was reviewed by Barry Brenesal in 334, shortly after it was released as the same Linn BKD 339 as it appears here, so it has to be assumed that this is not a transfer from another label but an original Linn recording. This no doubt eXplains the higher number for the earlier recorded Jenkins: Linn acquired the Avie recording and reissued it on its own label in 2016, seven years after the Ward. This does not eXplain, however, why we are now seeing recordings made eight and 12 years ago, and previously reviewed, turn up for review again.

  • Thomas Morley and the Business of Music in Elizabethan England
    THOMAS MORLEY AND THE BUSINESS OF MUSIC IN ELIZABETHAN ENGLAND by TERESA ANN MURRAY A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham September 2010 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Thomas Morley’s family background in Norwich and his later life in London placed him amongst the educated, urban, middle classes. Rising literacy and improving standards of living in English cities helped to develop a society in which amateur music-making became a significant leisure activity, providing a market of consumers for printed recreational music. His visit to the Low Countries in 1591 allowed him to see at first hand a thriving music printing business. Two years later he set out to achieve an income from his own music, initially by publishing collections of light, English-texted, madrigalian vocal works. He broadened his activities by obtaining a monopoly for printed music in 1598 and then by entering into a partnership with William Barley to print music.
