  • A Festival of the Arts
    WHEATLEY SECONDARY SCHOOL A FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS April 3rd, 5th, 6th, 1962 at 7.30 p.m. prompt Programme This Arts Festival is the “ brain child ” of Mr. J. W. Babb, L.R.A.M., L.T.C.L., Music Master at the School, and it is due to his enthusiasm and inspiration alone, that it has come to pass. It is his “ swan song ” as he leaves us in July to take up a similar, and I am sure, more rewarding post at Wintringham Grammar School, Grimsby. Time after time, we have offered Drama and Music classes in the Further Education Centre here, but continued support by a body of people having the same tastes and abilities has been difficult to maintain, and of late years we have had to acknowledge that the catchment area will not carry such activities on a regular weekly basis. In organising this Festival therefore, we have asked for, and obtained the support of a number of patrons who are happy to attend up to three evenings in the week to' share in the delights of music and drama made by “ live ” musicians and actors, in a hall which has recently been made accoustically far more sympathetic than in the past. The musical programme, is conservative in its choice of composers, but combines well known works with those which are not so familiar to most of us. We welcome both the Capriol Orchestra with Reginald Morley, the well-known violinist, as soloist, and The Trinity College Consort. “ Waiting for Godot ”, one of the most controversial plays of this century, cannot fail to intrigue and entertain, in a manner possibly different from the usual drama.

  • L'estro Armonico (Opus 3): Homage to a Medici Prince Antonio Vivaldi
    L’Estro Armonico (Opus 3): Homage to a Medici Prince Antonio Vivaldi (1678 – 1741) The first decade of the eighteenth century was an exciting one for Vivaldi. In 1703 he became fully ordained as a priest and obtained a teaching post at the Ospedale della Pietài. His duties still left him time to freelance as a violinist (often with his father, Giovanni Battista Vivaldiii) and to compose a moderate amount of music. His works had so far generated a modest amount of local success with two sets of sonatas being published by the Venetian publishing houses of Giuseppe Sala in 1705 and Antonio Bortoli in 1709iii. In addition to various sonatas and concertos, Vivaldi received a commission to compose his first (known) vocal work, a serenata titled Le gare del dovereiv for a performance in Rovigo in 1708. The publication of L’Estro Armonico three years later proved to be one of the major turning points in his career, and his concerto style took Europe by storm. Vivaldi chose the Amsterdam firm of Estienne Roger to publish L’Estro Armonico, whose printing presses used a more modern technology than their Venetian counterpartsv. In addition, Roger had a fantastic distribution network, particularly in Northern Europe where, at various times he had agents in Berlin, Brussels, Cologne, Halle, Hamburg, Leipzig, Liège, London and Rotterdam; Roger’s state-of-the-art technology combined with Vivaldi’s cutting- edge concerto style proved to be an immediate success. In search of an influential patron, Vivaldi dedicated L’Estro Armonico to the Grand Prince of Tuscany, Ferdinando de’Medicivi, son of Cosimo III de’Medici.

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).

  • The Use of Multiple Stops in Works for Solo Violin by Johann Paul Von
    THE USE OF MULTIPLE STOPS IN WORKS FOR SOLO VIOLIN BY JOHANN PAUL VON WESTHOFF (1656-1705) AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO GERMAN POLYPHONIC WRITING FOR A SINGLE INSTRUMENT Beixi Gao, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2017 APPROVED: Julia Bushkova, Major Professor Paul Leenhouts, Committee Member Susan Dubois, Committee Member Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Vice Provost of the Toulouse Graduate School Gao, Beixi. The Use of Multiple Stops in Works for Solo Violin by Johann Paul Von Westhoff (1656-1705) and Its Relationship to German Polyphonic Writing for a Single Instrument. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2017, 32 pp., 19 musical examples, bibliography, 46 titles. Johann Paul von Westhoff's (1656-1705) solo violin works, consisting of Suite pour le violon sans basse continue published in 1683 and Six Suites for Violin Solo in 1696, feature extensive use of multiple stops, which represents a German polyphonic style of the seventeenth- century instrumental music. However, the Six Suites had escaped the public's attention for nearly three hundred years until its rediscovery by the musicologist Peter Várnai in the late twentieth century. This project focuses on polyphonic writing featured in the solo violin works by von Westhoff. In order to fully understand the stylistic traits of this less well-known collection, a brief summary of the composer, Johann Paul Westhoff, and an overview of the historical background of his time is included in this document.
