  • Baroque Ensemble Program 12-6-18.Pdf
    Our ensemble uses a set of baroque bows patterned after existing historic examples BYU – IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC PRESENTS from the early 18th century. These bows are lighter, shorter, and have a slight outward curve resulting in characteristic baroque articulation -- a strong, quick down bow and a light, softer up bow, meant to emphasize the inequalities of strong and weak beats. Basso continuo refers to the preferred harmonic accompaniment used during the baroque era. From a printed bass line with a few harmonic clues indicated as numerical “figures,” musicians improvised chordal accompaniments which best fit the unique qualities of their instruments and supported the upper solo lines -- similar to the way a modern jazz rhythm section will “comp” behind a vocal or saxophone solo. This single bass line might include a colorful variety of both melodic and chord playing instruments. Tonight’s basso continuo section includes: • Harpsichord, featuring plucked brass strings across a light wood frame, resulting in a delicate, transparent tone which contrasts with the strong iron frame and hammered tone of the modern piano • Baroque style organ, using a mechanical “tracker” mechanism instead of electronics to route air to each pipe This evening’s performance features suites, sinfonia and concerti by prominent composers from the 17th and early 18th century: § The prolific Antonio Vivaldi is known for his development of three- movement concerto form. An extravagant violinist, he carried the nickname “il prete roso” (the red priest) because of his red hair. § Johann Heinrich Schmelzer was recognized in his day as Vienna's foremost violin virtuoso and a leading composer.

His works fascinate through their originality, their seemingly endless richness of invention, their daring harmonics and their visionary use of the most remote tonalities. Today Scarlatti has once again established a firm place in the pianistic repertory. But the question preoccupying me was the influence his music had on the composers of the Romantic era. If we cast an eye over the countless recordings of transcriptions and arrangements of his contemporary Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), it becomes even clearer that in Scarlatti’s case, we find hardly anything comparable. A fascinating process of investigation eventually led me to Carl Tausig (1841–1871), Ignaz Friedman (1882–1948) and Walter Gieseking (1895–1956).

  • Three BJ S-Three Chaconnes Byron Cantrell
    Three BJ s-Three Chaconnes Byron Cantrell Ever since Hans von Bulow coined the expression "the three B's" in denoting J. S. Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms to the exclusion of other fine composers whose family names begin with that same initial letter, numerous comparisons have been made regarding the composition techniques of these masters. Although distinct forms are associated with the different time periods within which each lived, all three of these men are regarded as superior composers of variations. Each has treated the usual melodico-harmonic forms so idiomatically that commentary is too often limited to banal remarks on similarities or non- comparative discussion of individual works. The continuous variation form, the chaco nne, has, however, been ingeniously used by these three masters, and, because most of the aspects of the form are demonstrably retained by each of them, comparisons can effectively be made. Emerging in the late Renaissance, the chaconne gained enormous popu- larity during the Baroque era; indeed, no opera in the Italian style was considered complete during this age without one or more numbers in chaconne form. But with the Classical period came a strong preference for melodico-harmonic variations and opera buffa finales, and the ostinato variation idea seemed destined for oblivion. It was Johannes Brahms, late in the Romantic period, who handsomely revived the chaconne and thus paved the way for its popularity among later composers. In his book, The Technique of Variation, Dr. Robert U. Nelson devotes considerable space to a discussion of Baroque chaco nne practice in the instrumental field. In order to consider the three pieces selected for study here, a list of fourteen points has been extracted from Dr.

  • Musical Journey Study Guide for Teachers
    Lorinda Jones ! Education Support Materials ! Teacher/Student Study Guide ! “A Musical Journey of Kentucky” ! Program Goal: ! Students will identify how immigration, lifestyle, and significant events in history, developed into the folk music of Kentucky and the Appalachian region of the United States specifically through the evolution of instruments and song. ! ! Program Description: ! An energetic performance on the state instrument of Kentucky, the mountain dulcimer, captures the focus of the students from the beginning and continues through to the end with songs, stories, and instruments that delight the audience. Students are challenged to think about the origin and roots of the mountain music that is important to Kentucky’s heritage. Taking a trip through time, students begin to understand that music has evolved due to immigration and significant historical events and periods of history. The unique instruments that capture the student’s attention may include: gourd banjo, modern banjo, fiddle, harp, Irish whistle, autoharp, psaltery, Scheitholt, guitar, and mountain dulcimers. Song selections are age appropriate and include sing alongs for audience participation. A powerpoint slideshow can accompany the performance (if slide and projector available) and enhances the program with additional historical information and song lyrics. ! ! ! ! ! Art Form: Music ! Students are exposed to a variety of folk instruments, primarily stringed, as well as songs and musical terms. ! Students are challenged to make connections between history, culture, immigration and the effect on folk music. ! Students are given the opportunity to see a number of rare instruments performed in a concert-like “live performance” setting, rather than through pictures or video. ! ! Curriculum Standards ! This program is designed to meet the core content standards in the area of arts and humanities, specifically, American folk music, historical significance and origin.
