  • 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.

  • Michael Praetorius's Theology of Music in Syntagma Musicum I (1615): a Politically and Confessionally Motivated Defense of Instruments in the Lutheran Liturgy
    MICHAEL PRAETORIUS'S THEOLOGY OF MUSIC IN SYNTAGMA MUSICUM I (1615): A POLITICALLY AND CONFESSIONALLY MOTIVATED DEFENSE OF INSTRUMENTS IN THE LUTHERAN LITURGY Zachary Alley A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2014 Committee: Arne Spohr, Advisor Mary Natvig ii ABSTRACT Arne Spohr, Advisor The use of instruments in the liturgy was a controversial issue in the early church and remained at the center of debate during the Reformation. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621), a Lutheran composer under the employment of Duke Heinrich Julius of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, made the most significant contribution to this perpetual debate in publishing Syntagma musicum I—more substantial than any Protestant theologian including Martin Luther. Praetorius's theological discussion is based on scripture, the discourse of early church fathers, and Lutheran theology in defending the liturgy, especially the use of instruments in Syntagma musicum I. In light of the political and religious instability throughout Europe it is clear that Syntagma musicum I was also a response—or even a potential solution—to political circumstances, both locally and in the Holy Roman Empire. In the context of the strengthening counter-reformed Catholic Church in the late sixteenth century, Lutheran territories sought support from Reformed church territories (i.e., Calvinists). This led some Lutheran princes to gradually grow more sympathetic to Calvinism or, in some cases, officially shift confessional systems. In Syntagma musicum I Praetorius called on Lutheran leaders—prince-bishops named in the dedication by territory— specifically several North German territories including Brandenburg and the home of his employer in Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, to maintain Luther's reforms and defend the church they were entrusted to protect, reminding them that their salvation was at stake.

  • The Treatment of the Chorale Wie Scan Leuchtet Der Iorgenstern in Organ Compositions from the Seven Teenth Century to the Twentieth Century
    379 THE TREATMENT OF THE CHORALE WIE SCAN LEUCHTET DER IORGENSTERN IN ORGAN COMPOSITIONS FROM THE SEVEN TEENTH CENTURY TO THE TWENTIETH CENTURY THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State College in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC By Paul Winston Renick, B. M. Denton, Texas August, 1961 PREFACE The chorale Wie schn iihtet derMorgenstern was popular from its very outset in 1589. That it has retained its popularity down to the present day is evident by its continually appearing in hymnbooks and being used as a cantus in organ compositions as well as forming the basis for other media of musical composition. The treatment of organ compositions based on this single chorale not only exemplifies the curiously novel attraction that this tune has held for composers, but also supplies a common denominator by which the history of the organ chorale can be generally stated. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page PREFACE . * . * . * . * * * . * .

  • 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.
