States Parties are further encouraged to consult the aide-mémoire for completing a nomination to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity available on the same webpage. A. State(s) Party(ies) For multi-national nominations, States Parties should be listed in the order on which they have mutually agreed. Germany B. Name of the element B.1. Name of the element in English or French Indicate the official name of the element that will appear in published material. Not to exceed 200 characters Organ Craftsmanship and Music B.2. Name of the element in the language and script of the community concerned, if applicable Indicate the official name of the element in the vernacular language corresponding to the official name in English or French (point B.1). Not to exceed 200 characters Orgelbau und Orgelmusik B.3. Other name(s) of the element, if any In addition to the official name(s) of the element (point B.1) mention alternate name(s), if any, by which the element is known. Form ICH-02-2017-EN – revised on 07/11/2015 – page 1 C. Name of the communities, groups or, if applicable, individuals concerned Identify clearly one or several communities, groups or, if applicable, individuals concerned with the nominated element. Not to exceed 150 words The community consists of around 2,800 professional organ builders employed in 400 organ construction workshops in Germany, about 300 specialist organ consultants, roughly 3,500 full- time professional organists including concert organists and several tens of thousands of part-time organists in churches. The number of people who listen to organ music cannot accurately be estimated. It is likely that on some Sundays up to one million people attend church services with organ music while more listen via public service broadcasting. Organ music is also experienced in public concerts, events, on TV and radio, and via the internet. D. Geographical location and range of the element Provide information on the distribution of the element within the territory(ies) of the submitting State(s), indicating if possible the location(s) in which it is centred. Nominations should concentrate on the situation of the element within the territories of the submitting States, while acknowledging the existence of same or similar elements outside their territories, and submitting States should not refer to the viability of such intangible cultural heritage outside their territories or characterize the safeguarding efforts of other States. Not to exceed 150 words Organ construction workshops, organ concerts and church services accompanied by organ music can be found throughout Germany and in nearly all European countries. Organ craftsmanship and music has been exported from Europe to many countries around the world. Since the Middle Ages until the present day, however, all the essential stages in the development of organ construction and the composition of organ music have been carried out in Europe. Over the course of centuries, country- and epoch-specific ‘schools’ have formed and mutually influenced one another. The majority of historical organs that are still intact can be found in European countries. Europe is also the front-runner for a number of recent organ constructions and organ compositions. Germany is amongst the most important countries in which the further development of skills and innovation around organ craftsmanship and music occurs. E. Contact person for correspondence E.1. Designated contact person Provide the name, address and other contact information of a single person responsible for all correspondence concerning the nomination. For multi-national nominations provide complete contact information for one person designated by the States Parties as the main contact person for all correspondence relating to the nomination.

Other contact persons (for multi-national files only) Provide below complete contact information for one person in each submitting State, other than the primary contact person identified above. Form ICH-02-2017-EN – revised on 07/11/2015 – page 3 1. Identification and definition of the element For Criterion R.1, the States shall demonstrate that ‘the element constitutes intangible cultural heritage as defined in Article 2 of the Convention’. Tick one or more boxes to identify the domain(s) of intangible cultural heritage manifested by the element, which might include one or more of the domains identified in Article 2.2 of the Convention. If you tick ‘other(s)’, specify the domain(s) in brackets. oral traditions and expressions, including language as a vehicle of the intangible cultural heritage performing arts social practices, rituals and festive events knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe traditional craftsmanship other(s) ( ) This section should address all the significant features of the element as it exists at present, and should include: a. an explanation of its social functions and cultural meanings today, within and for its community, b. the characteristics of the bearers and practitioners of the element, c. any specific roles, including gender or categories of persons with special responsibilities towards the element, d. the current modes of transmission of the knowledge and skills related to the element. The Committee should receive sufficient information to determine: a. that the element is among the ‘practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills — as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith —’; b. ‘that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize [it] as part of their cultural heritage’; c. that it is being ‘transmitted from generation to generation, [and] is constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, their interaction with nature and their history’; d. that it provides communities and groups involved with ‘a sense of identity and continuity’; and e. that it is not incompatible with ‘existing international human rights instruments as well as with the requirements of mutual respect among communities, groups and individuals, and of sustainable development’. Overly technical descriptions should be avoided and submitting States should keep in mind that this section must explain the element to readers who have no prior knowledge or direct experience of it. Nomination files need not address in detail the history of the element, or its origin or antiquity. (i) Provide a brief summary description of the element that can introduce it to readers who have never seen or experienced it. Not fewer than 150 or more than 250 words The organ is a musical instrument with natural sound production: air is compressed in bellows and emitted through pipes to create different sounds. Valves for each tone are connected to a keyboard played by the organist. Organ craftsmanship and music are closely related: each instrument is unique because it is created from scratch for the architectural space in which it will be played. There is a diversity of traditions around constructing and playing the organ in Germany. The highly specialized knowledge and skills used in organ construction and organ music have been developed by craftsmen, composers and musicians working together throughout history, and create the group’s common identity. Organs were invented more than 2000 years ago in Hellenistic Egypt and came to Europe via Byzantium. Since the Middle Ages, organ music has accompanied the Christian church liturgy and inspired many composers in Germany and beyond. For the bearer group and for the many other people who listen to organ music, it has a special meaning: it is described as an ‘eternal’ sound. Technical and artistic Form ICH-02-2017-EN – revised on 07/11/2015 – page 4 traditions are passed on through the close relationship of masters to their apprentices in organ construction workshops, and of music teachers to young organists. This means that a contemporary adaptation of inherited practices continuously takes place through both formal and informal education. A creative interplay is characteristic: organ craftsmanship integrates innovative techniques and knowledge about the nature and, regardless of how elaborate the musical score is, creative improvisation is integral to performing organ music. (ii) Who are the bearers and practitioners of the element? Are there any specific roles, including gender or categories of persons with special responsibilities for the practice and transmission of the element? If yes, who are they and what are their responsibilities? Not fewer than 150 or more than 250 words There are 400 medium-sized craftspeople’s establishments in Germany with a workforce of ca. 2,800 organ builders. The majority of these are medium-sized companies with between 6 and 18 employees. There are also some larger workshops of between 30 and 60 persons, some of which are family-owned companies since several generations. They transmit their knowledge and experience of building, renovating and mending organs through formal and informal, orally transmitted training. The organs in Germany are played by ca. 3,500 full-time and several tens of thousands of part-time organists. Organ studies are offered by both public- and church-based universities for music. In addition, organists offer a broad range of individual tuiton for part-time organ players, both semi-professionals and amateurs. Men and women are equally represented as organists (approx.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material subm itted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame 3. When a map, dravdng or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • 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.

  • Tracing Seven Hundred Years of Organ Registration 1300 – Present ---SCW (2010)
    Tracing Seven Hundred Years of Organ Registration 1300 – Present ---SCW (2010) . portions used for ALCM Conference workshop, “This, That, Neither, or Both,” June 2012, Bethlehem, PA, So, this all started when a student asked me questions about Spanish music about which I had not a clue . just think what would happen if they asked me about something really complicated!! _________________ 12 th century Theophilus, a monk, documented an organ that contained an ensemble of pipes speaking in octaves and fifths known as a Blockwerk , literally a ‘block of sound’ from which individual ranks could not be separated. 14 th and 15 th centuries – Late Medieval Organs Multiple manuals and split-chest systems enabled separating the Principal ranks from the higher Mixture sounds. By the 14 th century, there were pedals, fully chromatic keyboards, and tripartite façade arrangements accommodating large ‘bourdon’ or ‘tenor’ pipes. By the 2 nd half of the 14 th century, there was the addition of secondary manual and pedals on separate actions and wind chests. For organs built c. 1350-1400 (which can be translated to modern organs): >simple organ would be a Blockwerk of Mixtures, probably based on 4-foot pitch >double organ would add an octave lower at 8-foot pitch >RH would probably feature a decorative treble voice on the Blockwerk sound, while the LH on the ten lowest keys would sound the tenor on sustained Principals >the organ could be played so that only the ten tenor keys of the main manual were doubled an octave lower >4-foot Principal stops on a separate manual is an option >8-foot plenum for the tenor on one keyboard with other voices on the 4’ plenum Organ built in 1361, renovated in 1498, described by Praetorius: >two upper manuals were called Diskant with 22-note chromatic compass >third manual or Bassklavier had 12 keys from B to b >pedal had the same one-octave compass The Principal chorus of inseparable registers is the most heavily documented type of late- medieval organ.

  • Studies in the History of the Cadence Caleb Michael Mutch Submitted In
    Studies in the History of the Cadence Caleb Michael Mutch Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 1 © 2015 Caleb Michael Mutch All rights reserved 2 ABSTRACT Studies in the History of the Cadence Caleb Michael Mutch This dissertation traces the development of the concept of the cadence in the history of music theory. It proposes a division of the history of cadential theorizing into three periods, and elucidates these periods with four studies of particularly significant doctrines of musical closure. The first of these periods is the pre-history of the cadence, which lasted from the dawn of medieval music theory through the fifteenth century. During this time theorists such as John of Affligem (ca. 1100), whose writings are the subject of the first study, developed an analogy between music and the classical doctrine of punctuation to begin to describe how pieces and their constituent parts can conclude. The second period begins at the turn of the sixteenth century, with the innovative theory expounded by the authors of the Cologne school, which forms the subject of the second study. These authors identified the phenomenon of musical closure as an independent concept worthy of theoretical investigation, and established the first robustly polyphonic cadential doctrine to account for it. For the following three centuries theorists frequently made new contributions to the theorizing of the cadence in their writings, as exemplified by the remarkable taxonomy of cadences in the work of Johann Wolfgang Caspar Printz (1641-1717), the subject of the third study.

  • Singing the Self: the Autobiography of the Fifteenth-Century German Singer and Composer Johannes Von Soest
    Early Music History (2010) Volume 29. Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S0261127910000082 K P and S R, J. Email: [email protected]; [email protected] SINGING THE SELF: THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE FIFTEENTH-CENTURY GERMAN SINGER AND COMPOSER JOHANNES VON SOEST The German singer, composer and writer Johannes von Soest (1448–1506), also referred to as Steinwart or Steinwert, is the author of a vernacular autobiography in verse. One of the very few such documents written by a musician, it gives a highly personal insight into his career, which extended from his training as a chorister in Soest to the ducal chapel in Cleves and afterwards to Bruges (in the company of two unnamed English musicians), Aardenburg (Overijssel), Maastricht, possibly Cologne, Kassel and finally Heidelberg, where he was appointed as Kapellmeister. He subsequently decided to become a physician. The article includes a complete transcription of the text, whose original was destroyed during the Second World War, but has been preserved in Johann Carl von Fichard’s rare edition of 1811, and a translation of the sections of musical interest. In an introduction his training and career choices are discussed, and his observations concerning musical practice are analysed. Johannes von Soest (also referred to as Steinwart or Steinwert) was a German singer, composer and poet. He is the author of a vernacular autobiography in couplets which is not only one of the few examples of late medieval German autobiography but also one of the very few surviving We both wish to thank Joseph Connors, then director of Harvard University’s Center for Italian Renaissance Studies, Villa I Tatti, for fostering the invigorating interdisciplinary atmosphere at the scholarly utopia where plans for this collaboration were first hatched in the spring of 2009.
