  • Handel' S Organ Concerto S Reconsidered
    Handel' s Organ ConcertoConcertos s Reconsidered By NIELS KARL NIELSEN Due to the solid foundatiansfoundations provided by the research carried out by Chrysan­ der, W. Dean, O. E. Deutsch, J. P. Larsen, W. C. Smith and others the study of Randel'sHandel's works has been rendered much easier to-day than it was a mere twenty years ago; this, however, does not mean that all the problems have been solved. On the contrary, many still await exhaustive treatment. Whereas a vast number of books have been written ab out Randel'sHandel's vocal compositions, and the Oratorios in particular, a detailed study of his Organ Concertos, based on the autograph scores and other contemporary sources has not yet been made. Ehrlinger's dissertation 1 contains many valuable observa­ tions; nevertheless its importance is reduced considerably by the faetfact that he did not incorporate the original sources in his research. Accordingly, in the present study I intend to remedy this gap in our knowl­ edge of RandelHandel and his work, by discussing problems such as-date of composi­ tion-sources-original versions-style afof performance, and last but not least, the inevitable question of Randel'sHandel's borrowings. Some of these problems have of course been dealt with before, but I still find it worthwhile to try and collate as much information as possibiepossible about these aspects of Randel'sHandel's wark.work. RandelHandel embarked upon his concertos for organ and orchestra in dose con­ nection with his efforts to introduce the oratorio as a parallel to the produetionproduction of operas which had dominated his work in London up to the beginning of the 1730's.

  • Botticelli Triptych
    RESPIGHI Botticelli Triptych November 2014 6 From the President J.D. Scott Dear Friends: Since the 1920s The Philadelphia Orchestra has engaged young people, and indeed people of all ages, with the joys and thrills of orchestral music through the presentation of numerous programs. Today that tradition continues with expanded offerings, which are more important than ever. November is School Concert month at The Philadelphia Orchestra. This year’s theme, Music and Art: Instruments of Expression, explores how these two artistic forms serve as a means for understanding ourselves and the world around us. The concert, led by our new assistant conductor, Lio Kuokman, will make powerful connections between music and other creative forms in a guided tour through vibrant sounds and images. This month also brings the first of our Open Rehearsals for Students, allowing high school and college students a behind- the-scenes peek at how a concert comes together, and a rare opportunity to observe first-hand the artistic collaboration between musicians and conductors. It’s a fascinating way to get even closer to the music. From Sound All Around (our award-winning program for 3-5 year olds) to Family Concerts, from PreConcert Conversations to Free Neighborhood Concerts, PlayINs, Side-by-Side rehearsals, and LiveNote (our recently launched interactive concert guide for mobile devices), our collaborative learning offerings are a key element of the Orchestra’s mission. Our community offerings take Orchestra musicians offstage, on the road, and into the lives of music-lovers throughout the Philadelphia region, celebrating the wealth of musicianship in this area.

  • The Concerto: Style, Form, and Context in Its First Century a Course for OLLI, Winter 2017
    The Concerto: style, form, and context in its first century A course for OLLI, Winter 2017 Professor: Alexandra Amati-Camperi, PhD || [email protected] Meets at the Freight & Salvage on Wednesday from 10 AM to noon. Course description: The concerto: its origins, history, structure(s), and social function. This course explores the concerto, this genre we know especially from the classical and romantic periods, from its baroque origins in vocal music to its "codified" classical structure, and also investigates its cultural and social aspects and functions. Examples for study are drawn from the baroque and classical repertoire. Composers will include Gabrieli, Vivaldi, Bach, Handel, Mozart, Haydn, and early Beethoven. Course objectives: The course seeks to explain and illustrate the concerto as a musical genre, which mimics a social interaction, and, through the study of representative repertoire, to show its evolution though its first century or two. The course will end with the end of the classical era. Course schedule: Date Topics to be presented Repertoire to be discussed 25 Jan The origins of the concerto as a Giovanni Gabrieli: “In ecclesiis” vocal/instrumental genre in Venice, cori spezzati. a14 Issues of style and form.

An interior movement from Handel’s 1707 Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno is the earliest such work, though it is not exactly a keyboard concerto: this single movement features obbligato organ alongside a few other instruments with brief solo lines. In 1713 Johann Mattheson noted that in such a work “each part in turn comes to prominence and vies, as it were, with the other parts.” Antonio Vivaldi also composed several concertos of the same general variety, in which the organ is merely one of several solo colors.
