Cantus Missae Rheinberger and the Romantics Over the past six decades, the members of the Vancouver Cantata Singers—both past and present—have accomplished a great deal. This multiple award-winning choir continues to delight audiences in the Lower Mainland and beyond with its exceptional talent and enthusiasm for music of all kinds. The Government of Canada is pleased to salute the work of this organization, which has made outstanding contributions to the region's cultural vitality and to the world of choral singing. As minister of Canadian Heritage, I offer my best wishes to the Vancouver Cantata Singers on their 60th anniversary. I would also like to thank all the staff and people behind the scenes who have brought this special season to life. Happy anniversary! The Honourable Mélanie Joly BRITISH COLUMBIA A MESSAGE FROM PREMIER JOHN HORGAN As Premier of the Province of British Columbia, I am deeply honoured to extend congratulations to the Vancouver Cantata Singers (VCS) on this monumental 60th Anniversary. Since 1957, VCS has shared its choral excellence with British Columbians – and beyond. Through its efforts, VCS has delivered only the highest technical and artistic calibre of performance while always exploring and enriching the vast body of choral repertoire. VCS also employs local and professional musicians and contributes greatly to the community through educational outreach activities. I would like to acknowledge the VCS alumni, conductors, directors, collaborators, and support staff. Your exceptional skills, musical excellence, and leadership deserve a standing ovation. I would also like to commend the many outstanding volunteers who support VCS. Your dedication and service is truly valued and appreciated. On this diamond anniversary, please feel proud of your many accomplishments and contributions to the arts in British Columbia. We are truly grateful you call this province home. I wish each and every one of you continued success! HONOURABLE JOHN HORGAN PREMIER OF BRITISH COLUMBIA November, 2017 A Message from the Mayor On behalf of my colleagues on Vancouver City Council and the Citizens of Vancouver, I would like to extend our best wishes to the Vancouver Cantata Singers in celebration of their 60th Anniversary Season. The Vancouver Cantata Singers began as a non-auditioned community choir in 1958. Positive reviews from music critics and successful appearances on CBC Radio inspired the choir to become an auditioned semi-professional choir. The Vancouver Cantata Singers perform a wide range of repertoire including contemporary music. They work frequently with Canadian composers and also perform pieces composed by members of the choir. As Mayor, I am proud of our city’s reputation as a major centre for the performing arts. Congratulations to the Vancouver Cantata Singers on your 60th Anniversary Season. I wish you many more years of success.

Cantus Missae Rheinberger and the Romantics Programme notes by J. Evan Kreider1 During the nineteenth century, Europe became increasingly nationalistic both politically and culturally. As composers throughout Europe strove to express their unique national identities in artistic ways, the endeavours emanating from Germany and Italy retained their earlier pre-eminence, even before either Germany or Italy existed as nations. German writers and painters had already begun to romanticize their Germanic past, to idealize nature untouched by humans, to react to the ills of industrialization, to criticize dated social orders, and to fear where science might be taking their civilization. In the midst of all this turmoil, the painter Caspar David Friedrich spoke for many when declaring that “the artist’s feeling is his law”. Since music is a more abstract art than painting or literature, composers joined the movement somewhat later. They soon realized that compositions having words (or being given pictorially suggestive titles) gave opportunity to express some of the ideals of romanticism. While Johannes Brahms, Anton Bruckner, and Josef Rheinberger were classicists within German Romanticism, they were nevertheless profoundly influenced by it, embracing some of its tenets and reacting against others. Meanwhile, another tug-of-war was underway, almost as a subplot, between conservative and progressive German church musicians. In a sense, this had roots in the rediscovery of the music of Bach and Palestrina. Wilhelm Rust, organist at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche and eventual Cantor of the Thomanerchor, single-handedly compiled and edited the complete works of his predecessor, J.S. Bach (46 volumes printed in Leipzig by Breitkopf & Härtel, 1851-1899). As Germany’s most important church composer, Bach’s intellectual approach was suddenly affecting every serious composer in Germany and Austria. About 340 km to the south, Franz Xaver Haberl, a conservative German church organist in Regensburg, likewise collected and edited the complete works of Italy’s foremost church musician, the somewhat conservative Giovanni Palestrina (33 volumes printed in Leipzig by Breitkopf & Härtel, 1862-1894). Many composers and music aficionados subscribed to these massive editions, receiving one or more folios every month. This led to two discoveries: (1) the awesome counterpoint of Bach, whose fugues and canons appealed to the scientifically-minded nationalists, and (2) the beauty of Palestrina’s restrained unaccompanied Renaissance counterpoint with its clarity of text, which appealed to ecclesiastical conservatives. Combine these discoveries with the new harmonies and expressions of individualism of the German Romantics, and we can begin to appreciate the expanding palate of colour becoming available to those who composed sacred music. A similar and equally rigorous debate had already taken place in the 1500s, with the music of Felice Anerio and Giovanni Palestrina eventually resolving the issue to papal satisfaction. In the 1800s, Germans who wanted to return to the ‘Palestrina style’ joined the Cecilian movement, which started in earnest in 1865 (three years after Haberl began publishing works by Palestrina). The growing movement obtained the blessing of the conservative Pope Pius IX in 1870. Haberl became the movement’s champion as Cecilians called for Catholic church musicians to return to the ideals of the 16th-c. Council 1 Professor Emeritus of Musicology, UBC, Member of VCS of Trent. This debate directly affected each of the compositions heard this evening. Cecilians argued that all church music must be sung without accompaniment, in the style of the Vatican’s (and Palestrina’s) Sistine Chapel (hence the term a cappella). Church music must not be dramatic, motets and Masses should not call attention to themselves through fascinating harmonic shifts or dramatic gestures, and their sacred texts must be heard clearly and never be confusing for the worshippers, as was the case in Bach’s complicated fugues. Rheinberger composed his Mass in E-flat in 1878, completing it three weeks before Pius IX died. About

  • Paul Collins (Ed.), Renewal and Resistance Journal of the Society
    Paul Collins (ed.), Renewal and Resistance PAUL COLLINS (ED.), RENEWAL AND RESISTANCE: CATHOLIC CHURCH MUSIC FROM THE 1850S TO VATICAN II (Bern: Peter Lang, 2010). ISBN 978-3-03911-381-1, vii+283pp, €52.50. In Renewal and Resistance: Catholic Church Music from the 1850s to Vatican II Paul Collins has assembled an impressive and informative collection of essays. Thomas Day, in the foreword, offers a summation of them in two ways. First, he suggests that they ‘could be read as a collection of facts’ that reveal a continuing cycle in the Church: ‘action followed by reaction’ (1). From this viewpoint, he contextualizes them, demonstrating how collectively they reveal an ongoing process in the Church in which ‘(1) a type of liturgical music becomes widely accepted; (2) there is a reaction to the perceived in- adequacies in this music, which is then altered or replaced by an improvement ... The improvement, after first encountering resistance, becomes widely accepted, and even- tually there is a reaction to its perceived inadequacies—and on the cycle goes’ (1). Second, he notes that they ‘pick up this recurring pattern at the point in history where Roman Catholicism reacted to the Enlightenment’ (3). He further contextualizes them, revealing how the pattern of action and reaction—or renewal and resistance—explored in this particular volume is strongly influenced by the Enlightenment, an attempt to look to the power of reason as a more beneficial guide for humanity than the authority of religion and perceived traditions (4).

  • Liszt and Christus: Reactionary Romanticism
    LISZT AND CHRISTUS: REACTIONARY ROMANTICISM A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Robert Pegg May 2020 Examining Committee Members: Dr. Maurice Wright, Advisory Chair, Music Studies Dr. Michael Klein, Music Studies Dr. Paul Rardin, Choral Activities Dr. Christine Anderson, Voice and Opera, external member © Copyright 2020 by Robert Pegg All Rights Reserved € ii ABSTRACT This dissertation seeks to examine the historical context of Franz Lizt’s oratorio Christus and explore its obscurity. Chapter 1 makes note of the much greater familiarity of other choral works of the Romantic period, and observes critics’ and scholars’ recognition (or lack thereof) of Liszt’s religiosity. Chapter 2 discusses Liszt’s father Adam, his religious and musical experiences, and his influence on the young Franz. Chapter 3 explores Liszt’s early adulthood in Paris, particularly with respect to his intellectual growth. Special attention is given to François-René, vicomte de Chateaubriand and the Abbé Félicité de Lamennais, and the latter’s papal condemnation. After Chapter 4 briefly chronicles Liszt’s artistic achievements in Weimar and its ramifications for the rest of his work, Chapter 5 examines theological trends in the nineteenth century, as exemplified by David Friedrich Strauss, and the Catholic Church’s rejection of such novelties. The writings of Charles Rosen aid in decribing the possible musical ramifications of modern theology. Chapter 6 takes stock of the movements for renewal in Catholic music, especially the work of Prosper Gueranger and his fellow Benedictine monks of Solesmes, France, and of the Society of Saint Cecilia in Germany.
