The study begins with a summary of historical, biographical and stylistic information pertinent to Distler's work. The political, social and religious climate in Germany during the second quarter of the twentieth century is discussed. Particularly relevant is the National-Socialist attitude toward organized religion, which, among other consequences, involved an attack on the Protestant Church in an attempt at coercive unity under the State. Hugo Distler, possessed of a mild temperament and nervous personality, chose to ignore the unrestrained power and injustice wielded by the Nazi government under which he lived. He was able to continue his life and work because he posed no blatant threat to the regime. Like many notable musicians of the time, Distler's ability to continue his work resulted from his acceptance of the so-called "New Church Music." The author summarizes the tenets of diis musical movement as researched and documented by Charles R.

  • Johann Sebastian Bach's St. John Passion from 1725: a Liturgical Interpretation
    Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. John Passion from 1725: A Liturgical Interpretation MARKUS RATHEY When we listen to Johann Sebastian Bach’s vocal works today, we do this most of the time in a concert. Bach’s passions and his B minor Mass, his cantatas and songs are an integral part of our canon of concert music. Nothing can be said against this practice. The passions and the Mass have been a part of the Western concert repertoire since the 1830s, and there may not have been a “Bach Revival” in the nineteenth century (and no editions of Bach’s works for that matter) without Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s concert performance of the St. Matthew Passion in the Berlin Singakademie in 1829.1 However, the original sitz im leben of both large-scaled works like his passions, and his smaller cantatas, is the liturgy. Most of his vocal works were composed for use during services in the churches of Leipzig. The pieces unfold their meaning in the context of the liturgy. They engage in a complex intertextual relationship with the liturgical texts that frame them, and with the musical (and theological) practices of the liturgical year of which they are a part. The following essay will outline the liturgical context of the second version of the St. John Passion (BWV 245a) Bach performed on Good Friday 1725 in Leipzig. The piece is a revision of the familiar version of the passion Bach had composed the previous year. The 1725 version of the passion was performed by the Yale Schola Cantorum in 2006, and was accompanied by several lectures I gave in New Haven and New York City.

  • Polyrhythmic Concepts on 5/4 Bars
    schlagzeug-regensburg.de Polyrhythmic concepts on 5/4 bars 03. September 2017 Introduction Tony Williams and Elvin Jones have been the first two drummers to explore the concepts of "implied time" and "metric modulation". With these new rhythmic tools it was possible to give the audience the impression that the time meter changes completely for a certain duration. This device creates an unexpected tension in the music flow and then suddenly a sense of relief when the tempo goes back to the original meter. Before these great two masters of our instrument the rhythm sections used other simpler ideas to change the time feel of a jazz song. For example to go in double- oder half-time, while of course the progression of the chords remains at the same tempo rate. The feeling in the metric modulation is that one of an irrational tempo changing... but in reality it is the opposite! What is been used is the superimposition of a new pulse logically related to the original one. In the first chapter of this article we analyse some polyrhythmical fills in 5/4. In the second one we apply a metric modulation to the same odd time. You can use a base 5/4 swing pattern that you like. Here just as example: A polyrhythmical fill: 3 against 5 Now, if we divide the pulse in triplets, we obtain 3x5=15 notes in each bar. 3 is our pulse, so let's try to consider the eighth triplets in groups of 5 notes, with the following pattern: This is the result: I suggest to practice this polyrhythmic figure with the metronome on the quarter notes or to keep the pulse with the foot.

Still living in Provo, Utah, I picked up David Ra- kowski from the airport for a visit to BYU. We had met a few years earlier through the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition, when Davy was on the board of advisors and I was an intern. On that drive several years later, I asked him if he had any suggestions for my doc- toral application portfolio, to which he immediately responded, “You were actually a finalist.” Because of his encouragement, I applied to Brandeis a second time, and the rest is history.

    Bach Cantatas for Christmas Gardiner 1 Bach Cantatas for Christmas Gardiner 2 The Bach Cantata Pilgrimage On Christmas Day 1999 a unique celebration of the new Millennium began in the Herderkirche in Weimar, Germany: the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists under the direction of Sir John Eliot Gardiner set out to perform all Johann Sebastian Bach’s surviving church cantatas in the course of the year 2000, the 250th anniversary of Bach’s death. The cantatas were performed on the liturgical feasts for which they were composed, in a year-long musical pilgrimage encompassing some of the most beautiful churches throughout Europe (including many where Bach himself performed) and culminating in three concerts in New York over the Christmas festivities at the end of the millennial year. These recordings of cantatas for the Christmas season were made at the beginning and end of the Pilgrimage. 3 Johann Sebastian Bach 1685-1750 Cantatas for Christmas and New Year Pages 5-13 CD 1 For Christmas Day 63 / 191 14-24 CD 2 For Christmas Day 91 / 110 For the Second Day of Christmas 121 / 40 25-38 CD 3 For the Second Day of Christmas 57 For the Third Day of Christmas 64 / 151 / 133 39-50 CD 4 For the Sunday after Christmas Motet 225 / 152 / 122 / 28 For New Year’s Day 190 51-62 CD 5 For New Year’s Day 143 / 41 / 16 / 171 63-73 CD 6 For the Sunday after New Year 153 / 58 For Epiphany 65 / 123 The Monteverdi Choir The English Baroque Soloists John Eliot Gardiner Live recordings from the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage Weimar / New York / Berlin / Leipzig 1999-2000 4 For Christmas Day Claron McFadden soprano Bernarda Fink alto Christoph Genz tenor Dietrich Henschel bass The Monteverdi Choir The English Baroque Soloists 1 John Eliot Gardiner Herderkirche, Weimar, 25 December 1999 « Contents page 5 CD1 40:15 For Christmas Day 26:28 Christen, ätzet diesen Tag BWV 63 1 (4:48) 1.

  • 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 . * . * . * . * * * . * .
