1 NEWSLETTER: 21 June 2020 the ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING THIS YEAR the Board Met Via Zoom on Friday This Week, Mainly to Begin To NEWSLETTER: 21 June 2020 THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING THIS YEAR The Board met via Zoom on Friday this week, mainly to begin to develop our plans for re-starting. There will be a detailed message about this coming out to members in the next few days. We also discussed how to manage the annual round of constitutional business that we normally transact at the Annual General Meeting. Under normal circumstances, our next AGM would be in mid-October. After checking the guidance from the Charity Commission, we have decided: We will not hold an AGM at the normal time in mid-October this year. Instead, we’ll organise one as soon as possible in 2021. The Constitution requires us to hold one by 22 January next year, but the Charity Commission recognises that it may not be possible for all charities to observe the normal timetable. We will prepare the annual report and the annual accounts to the normal timetable. We’ll circulate them to members by email by 19 October, and invite comments. The Board will then meet in November to consider the responses, and the outcomes will be reported back to members by the end of November. We will delay the appointment of trustees until we can hold a normal AGM. The Constitution requires one third of trustees – that’s three people in our case – to resign each year. All those who stand down will be eligible for re-appointment 1 Dre Pressure Mounts to Restart Live Music and Choral Singing If you have not already seen this, Juliet has shared the following link to an article in The Guardian on Thursday 18 June. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jun/16/covid-19-has- silenced-choirs-we-must-find-a-way-to-restart-singing-together Glenys draws your attention , if not already aware , to Simon Halsey whose name appears after such as John Rutter .

Really glad that so many are enjoying this rather mad survey of the history of music . I'm even more delighted that some are looking things up to read up further - exactly the point. Hope you've all had a good week; enjoy the sunshine this week!' Alex. Part III: The Early Renaissance (c.1400-1500) Welcome to the Early Renaissance – a mad time where quite a lot happens. So here’s hoping you’re sitting comfortably. Good. Then we shall begin. European composers begin to be influenced by the Renaissance in other arts, as well as by mythology, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy (Plato’s work has just re-emerged), and the anti-ecclesiastical rise of humanism (personal fulfilment from pursuing intelligence). A heady time full of thinking and thoughts, with an excess of tutting at more basic medieval ways. England realises it needs to catch up musically, so Leonel Power proudly holds his music aloft, collating his pieces in the Old Hall manuscript, many of which celebrate last week’s win at the Battle of Agincourt. Power follows Machaut’s lead and composes cyclical masses all linked by a common musical theme, or all beginning with the same theme (called a head motif). Adam Lay Ybounden and other macaronic texts and carols start to be penned, swiftly followed by the printing press being invented by Gutenberg in 1439, allowing music and theory treatises to spread quicker than peasants could run for Mr Chippy’s potato cart (whose arrival was announced by a minstrel playing Greensleeves ). The texts of Marian antiphons begin to be embedded in English compositions, and John Dunstaple (of Dunstable wahey represent) and Walter Frye (of Ely *bleat*) combine the French bourdon with the imperfect consonances of the third and its inversion the sixth. So FINALLY the third is incorporated into music; the result is so good that the French Burgundian School (Dufay, Binchois, Busnois) start to copy this panconsonant (triad-based) ‘contenance angloise’ (‘English manner ’, not a custard) in their virelais, rondeaux, ballades and bergerettes, and so the third and the sixth spread through Europe, along with a renewed sense of optimism that some more harmonies exist and plague has gone. Hoorays. What an exciting set of things for a first paragraph. Are you doing ok? Good . Onwards! 4 Printed English music now disseminates widely, helped by the Hundred Years War and a strong south-easterly breeze, and English carols begin to be written for feast days (also known as festal days). Common voice types by now are the superius (‘above’), contratenor altus (‘against the tenor above’), and contratenor bassus (‘against the tenor below’); sadly all sung by men and boys because we haven’t yet quite reached that eureka moment where we realise women can sing very well too. Sigh. The contratenor gradually becomes the countertenor with small linguistic changes; they are famed for their purity of tone, ethereal quality, lack of beard growing skills, and a giggle that alarms nesting blackbirds. Vocal melodies are now ornamented by ‘division’, which involved dividing the notes into smaller faster notes in the moment (i.e. improvised). The clavichord begins to be mentioned and LOUD INSTRUMENTS start to be used for courtly dance music (the basse danse, saltarello and tordion become the fashionable dances). Music divides more neatly into secular and sacred, with instruments not used for sacred music because the voice was the purest expression of the human soul (except for the portative organ and church organ which had now proved its ability at disguising sneezes, snores and burps). Most music was vocal and in the style of the chapel music, or ‘a capella’ in Italian. Masses begin to be written with a unifying cantus firmus (‘fixed chant’) throughout, and the motet transforms from the medieval isorhythmic motet, with the same repeated rhythms repeated rhythms repeated rhythms repeated, to a more polyphonic and intricate affair. Suave. Fauxbourden (named after the French for ‘false weight’/drone) becomes a thing with each chord having a fourth between the top and middle notes, and the third at the bottom, derived from the English medieval discant style and Dunstaple’s music. Gosh this is exciting isn’t it. More masses, motets and magnificats are composed at an alarming rate, being more polyphonic in style and emphasising treble- dominated melodies that frequently ended with what was later termed an ‘under-third’ cadence (having the intervals of a 6th, 5th and 8ve between melody and bass). The bass drop (not yet a feature of club music) of a fifth now becomes more common at the cadence (Latin for ‘falling’, because the momentum of the melody falls), creating an authentic cadence. 5 After this success, the first instances of what became known as the plagal cadence appear (named after the Greek plagos for 'side’ because the two upper voices move in thirds alongside each other in parallel motion towards the same bass note). Melodic lines were now smoother than Henry VI’s forehead, but still modal, and gymel start to appear, where one upper voice part is temporarily divided into two different melodic strands before joining them again (it’s unknown whether this was also sung by a divided person). The psaltery has a keyboard bolted onto it to produce a virginal (a smaller clavichord) which becomes particularly popular in English courts as an alternative to knitting and splat the flee-ridden rat. Enter Dufay [Stage Left], who writes some of the most beautiful music heard so far, including his motet Nuper rosarum flores for the consecration of Florence cathedral in 1436, with musical proportions that mirrored the architectural proportions of the Temple of Solomon. King’s College Cambridge is also founded in 1441 by Henry VI in between battles. Ockegham appears looking like a dad at a fancy dress party, but writes in a more flowing style, particularly in his masterpiece Missa prolationum and in the first polyphonic requiem mass (Missa pro Defunctis). Various of his masses are enshrined in the Chigi codex because they are so good. Ockegham and his Flemish contemporaries write increasingly complex counterpoint which, over time, blends with the more homophonic style of secular Italian lauda and frottole, and BINGO: a type of music where vertical harmony is now a byproduct (and less important than) of the more important horizontal counterpoint . Isn’t this fun. Time for tea whilst we divide up some more land for people who don’t deserve it. After Walter Frye’s successes at writing motets, Obrecht’s contrapuntal extravagance eclipses it by using cantus firmi and retrograde melody fragments (boffin).

  • Guillaume Du Fay Discography
    Guillaume Du Fay Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber This discography of Guillaume Du Fay (Dufay) builds on the work published in Fanfare in January and March 1980. There are more than three times as many entries in the updated version. It has been published in recognition of the publication of Guillaume Du Fay, his Life and Works by Alejandro Enrique Planchart (Cambridge, 2018) and the forthcoming two-volume Du Fay’s Legacy in Chant across Five Centuries: Recollecting the Virgin Mary in Music in Northwest Europe by Barbara Haggh-Huglo, as well as the new Opera Omnia edited by Planchart (Santa Barbara, Marisol Press, 2008–14). Works are identified following Planchart’s Opera Omnia for the most part. Listings are alphabetical by title in parts III and IV; complete Masses are chronological and Mass movements are schematic. They are grouped as follows: I. Masses II. Mass Movements and Propers III. Other Sacred Works IV. Songs (Italian, French) Secular works are identified as rondeau (r), ballade (b) and virelai (v). Dubious or unauthentic works are italicised. The recordings of each work are arranged chronologically, citing conductor, ensemble, date of recording if known, and timing if available; then the format of the recording (78, 45, LP, LP quad, MC, CD, SACD), the label, and the issue number(s). Each recorded performance is indicated, if known, as: with instruments, no instruments (n/i), or instrumental only. Album titles of mixed collections are added. ‘Se la face ay pale’ is divided into three groups, and the two transcriptions of the song in the Buxheimer Orgelbuch are arbitrarily designated ‘a’ and ‘b’.

Neal, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2011 This dissertation examines the sacred compositions for six or more voices by Nicolas Gombert (1495-1560). Two multivoice (six or more voices) compositional techniques emerged in sixteenth-century Europe. The first of these, the Italian double-choir (coro spezzato) technique, has received far more attention from scholars. This practice divided the vocal ensemble into two groups that sang either separately or together, and whose members remained consistent throughout the musical composition. The second technique, practiced by composers in northern Europe, also split settings into two or more vocal groups, but the members of the groupings constantly changed.
