Here too, Maida Vale; while his life ended in an Oxford in Finzi’s first published work, can be heard hospital in September 1956, during the the steering influences of composers and seventeenth year of his family’s occupancy folk song enthusiasts Ralph Vaughan Williams of Church Farm in the remote Hampshire and George Butterworth, both of whom village of Ashmansworth.

Looking not only to the music of Vaughan Williams, other As the shadow of the First World War began illustrious contemporaries and the English to stretch far into the future, the young folk-song heritage, but also back towards to Gerald Finzi was only beginning to find his the Baroque era, Finzi was yet to find his stride.

  • Finzi Bagatelles
    Gerald Finzi (1901-1956): Five Bagatelles for clarinet and piano, Opus 23 (1945) Prelude: Allegro deciso Romance: Andante tranquillo Carol: Andante semplice Forlana: Allegretto grazioso Fughetta: Allegro vivace Better known for his vocal music, Finzi also wrote well for the clarinet: these Five Bagatelles and his later Clarinet Concerto are frequently played. Born to a German/Italian Jewish family in London, the teenage Finzi was taught composition in Harrogate by Ernest Farrar, a pupil of Stanford, and by Edward Bairstow, Master of Music at York Minster. His subsequent friends and colleagues included Vaughan Williams, R.O.Morris, Holst, Bliss, Rubbra and Howard Ferguson; his music is firmly within this English tradition. He was attracted to the beauty of the English countryside and to the poetry of Traherne, Hardy and Christina Rosetti. The Five Bagatelles had a tortuous birth. In the summer of 1941, increasingly confident in his powers as a composer, Finzi completed three character pieces for clarinet and piano before being drafted into the Ministry of War Transport. He used “20-year-old bits and pieces”, which he had been working on since 1938. A fourth was added in January 1942 and the whole group performed at a wartime National Gallery lunchtime concert. Leslie Boosey wanted to publish the pieces separately, but in July 1945 Finzi persuaded him to publish them as a group, together with an additional fast finale. Somewhat to Finzi's chagrin, they became his most popular piece: ‘they are only trifles... not worth much, but got better notices than my decent stuff’. The first movement shows Bach's influence on Finzi and contains a slow central section with characteristically wistful falling minor 7ths.

  • THE ENGLISH MUSICAL RENAISSANCE and ITS INFLUENCE on GERALD FINZI: an in DEPTH STUDY of TILL EARTH OUTWEARS, OP. 19A
    2 THE ENGLISH MUSICAL RENAISSANCE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON GERALD FINZI: AN IN DEPTH STUDY OF TILL EARTH OUTWEARS, OP. 19a A thesis submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in partial fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors with Distinction by Sean Patrick Lair, B.M., B.A. May 2009 Oxford, Ohio 3 ABSTRACT THE ENGLISH MUSICAL RENAISSANCE AND ITS INFLUENCE ON GERALD FINZI: AN IN DEPTH STUDY OF TILL EARTH OUTWEARS, OP. 19a By Sean Patrick Lair, B.M., B.A. Gerald Finzi (1901-1956) was an early Twentieth Century, British composer, whose talent is most notable in the realm of art song. Seeing as his works so perfectly suit my voice, I have decided to sing a song set of his on my senior recital, entitled Till Earth Outwears, Op. 19a. Through research, I wish to better inform my performance, and the future ones of others, by better acquainting myself with his life and compositional techniques, most assuredly shaped by what has always been a very distinct British aesthetic. His models and colleagues, including composers like Ralph Vaughan Williams, Roger Quilter, and John Ireland, reinvigorated the English musical culture and elevated the British standing on the world music scene at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century. By studying this music in such minute detail, the proper method of performance can be decided and musical decisions will be better informed. Issues like breathing, phrasing, and tempo fluctuations or rubato can be addressed. I wish to expand the knowledge of the art song of Gerald Finzi, which, while not unknown, is markedly seldom performed.

  • What Sweeter Music: an English Christmas
    What Sweeter Music Performed In December of 1843 Charles Dickens dashed off a short seasonal book in the hope of making some quick money. A Christmas Carol became an instant success and its characters and story quickly passed into the public domain. In 1871 Sir John Stainer published his anthology Christmas Carols Old and New, which rapidly became the standard versions and harmonizations used by succeeding generations to this day. It is little wonder that when we think of Christmas, Victorian traditions inevitably spring to mind. What Sweeter Music celebrates the rich musical heritage of an English Christmas. This year marks the centenary of the birth of Gerald Finzi, one of the most English of all English composers. He was part of a remarkable renaissance in English music which began toward the end of the nineteenth century and included composers such as Finzi's contemporaries Gustav Holst, Benjamin Britten and Peter Warlock, all of whom are represented on this program. He was born into a wealthy family and for the most part never had to worry about having to make a living, but that did not shield him from personal tragedy. His father died when he was seven and before he was eighteen he experienced the death of all three older brothers and his first music teacher, Edward Farrar, who had enlisted and died in the war. Finzi was a solitary, introspective child and an indifferent student, once remaining in the same grade at one school for four years and feigning fainting spells to be sent home from another. Ironically, Finzi was to become perhaps the most literary of all composers.

  • Notes from the Bench September – December 2016 by Dr. James Gerber December 18, 2016 “Ave Maria” by Franz Biebl Ave Mari
    Notes from the Bench September – December 2016 by Dr. James Gerber December 18, 2016 “Ave Maria” By Franz Biebl Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. The “Ave Maria” or “Hail Mary” is a traditional devotional prayer that is often prayed by Christians within the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions as well as many Anglo-Catholics among our Anglican tradition. The first half of this prayer text is derived from Luke 1:28, 30-31; the remainder is a prayer of intercession. This text may be used as an individual prayer, or incorporated into a larger prayer form such as the Rosary, which is a meditation on the mysteries of Christ’s life, and the Angelus, a devotional prayer that commemorates the Incarnation of Christ. “Ave Maria” has been set to music by a countless number of composers; we have musical settings in the styles of plainsong, choral polyphony, solo arias, and popular folk songs just to name a few. The setting sung by our Senior Choir today was composed by Franz Biebl (1906-2001), a twentieth century German composer. He incorporates three introductory versicles from the Angelus prayer in this setting. Angelus Domini notiavit Mariae, et concepit de Spiritu sancto.

Capilano College (North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada), 1994 M.M. California State University, Long Beach, 1997 Committee Chair: Dr. Stephen Coker ABSTRACT The life and music of English composer, Gerald Finzi (1901-56) has received relatively little critical study; that which has been done, however, especially regarding the choral and vocal music, often focuses on Finzi’s gift for setting words to music. On account of this unique gift, Finzi has been referred to as the English Hugo Wolf. This document focuses on his special ability to interrelate the words and music, and on the set of key factors that helped him develop this talent. A brief biographical study will reveal three major influences on Finzi’s life and music: an association with the finest English composers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; a fondness for all things English, including Great Britain’s musical heritage, its manner, its unique geography, and its great authors and poets; and a worldview affected by tragic events and losses in his life.
