The Motets of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli in the Rokycany Music Collection
Musica Iagellonica 2017 ISSN 1233–9679 Kateřina Maýrová (Czech Museum of Music, Prague) The motets of Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli in the Rokycany Music Collection This work provides a global survey on the Italian music repertoire contained in the music collection that is preserved in the Roman-Catholic parish of Roky- cany, a town located near Pilsen in West-Bohemia, with a special regard to the polychoral repertoire of the composers Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli and their influence on Bohemian cori-spezzati compositions. The mutual comparison of the Italian and Bohemian polychoral repertoire comprises also a basic compara- tion with the most important music collections preserved in the area of the so- called historical Hungarian Lands (today’s Slovakia), e.g. the Bardejov [Bart- feld / Bártfa] (BMC) and the Levoča [Leutschau / Löcse] Music Collections. From a music-historical point of view, the Rokycany Music Collection (RMC) of musical prints and manuscripts stemming from the second half of the 16th to the first third of the 17th centuries represents a very interesting complex of music sources. They were originally the property of the Rokycany litterati brotherhood. The history of the origin and activities of the Rokycany litterati brother- hood can be followed only in a very fragmentary way. 1 1 Cf. Jiří Sehnal, “Cantionál. 1. The Czech kancionál”, in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, ed. Stanley Sadie, 29 vols. (London–New York: Macmillan, 20012), vol. 5: 59–62. To the problems of the litterati brotherhoods was devoted the conference, held in 2004 65 Kateřina Maýrová The devastation of many historical sites during the Thirty Years War, fol- lowed by fires in 1728 and 1784 that destroyed much of Rokycany and the church, resulted in the loss of a significant part of the archives. -

A Second Miracle at Cana: Recent Musical Discoveries in Veronese's Wedding Feast
BASSANO 11 A SECOND MIRACLE AT CANA: RECENT MUSICAL DISCOVERIES IN VERONESE'S WEDDING FEAST Peter Bossano 1.And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2. And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4. Jesus saith unto her, Woman what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10.And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worst; but thou hast kept the good wine until now. —John 2: 1-10 (KingJames Version) In Paolo Veronese's painting of the Wedding Feast at Cana, as in St. John's version of this story, not everything is as at seems. -
Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands. -

Improvisation in Vocal Contrapuntal Pedagogy: An Appraisal of Italian Theoretical Treatises of the Sixteenth and Early Seventeenth Centuries Valerio Morucci The extemporaneous application of pre-assimilated compositional paradigms into musical performance retained a central position in the training of Medieval and Renais- sance musicians, specifically within the context of Western polyphonic practice.1 Recent scholarship has shown the significance of memorization in the oral transmission of plainchant and early polyphony.2 Attention has been particularly directed to aspects of orality and literacy in relation to “composition” (the term here applies to both written and oral), and, at the same time, studies correlated to fifteenth- and sixteenth-century contra- puntal theory, have mainly focused on the works of single theorists.3 The information we 1. -
Some Historical Perspectives on the Monteverdi Vespers
CHAPTER V SOME HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE MONTEVERDI VESPERS It is one of the paradoxes of musicological research that we generally be- come acquainted with a period, a repertoire, or a style through recognized masterworks that are tacitly or expressly assumed to be representative, Yet a masterpiece, by definition, is unrepresentative, unusual, and beyond the scope of ordinary musical activity. A more thorough and realistic knowledge of music history must come from a broader and deeper ac- quaintance with its constituent elements than is provided by a limited quan- tity of exceptional composers and works. Such an expansion of the range of our historical research has the advan- tage not only of enhancing our understanding of a given topic, but also of supplying the basis for comparison among those works and artists who have faded into obscurity and the few composers and masterpieces that have sur- vived to become the primary focus of our attention today. Only in relation to lesser efforts can we fully comprehend the qualities that raise the master- piece above the common level. Only by comparison can we learn to what degree the master composer has rooted his creation in contemporary cur- rents, or conversely, to what extent original ideas and techniques are re- sponsible for its special features. Similarly, it is only by means of broader investigations that we can detect what specific historical influence the mas- terwork has had upon contemporaries and younger colleagues, and thereby arrive at judgments about the historical significance of the master com- poser. Despite the obvious importance of systematic comparative studies, our comprehension of many a masterpiece stiIl derives mostly from the artifact itself, resulting inevitably in an incomplete and distorted perspective. -

Anderson III Music History I Dr. Sandra Yang December 12, 2014 Anderson !1 Music has been greatly appreciated and admired by every society in western culture for a variety of reasons.1 Music has serenaded and provoked, inspired and astounded, and led and taught people for millennia. Music exists solely among humans, for man has been created imago Dei (in the image of God). God has given mankind the creativity to study, shape and develop music to see the beauty and intricacy that ultimately is a reflection of His character. In the words of Martin Luther, But when [musical] learning is added to all this and artistic music, which corrects, develops, and refines the natural music, then at last it is possible to taste with wonder (yet not to comprehend) God’s absolute and perfect wisdom in His wondrous work of music. -

Sacred Soundscapes: Music, Liturgy, and Architecture in Renaissance Venice
Smyth 1 Andrew Smyth Prof. Bonde HIAA 0420 12 December 2012 Sacred Soundscapes: Music, Liturgy, and Architecture in Renaissance Venice “How I wept during your hymns and songs! I was deeply moved by the music and sweet chants of your Church. The sounds flowed into my ears and the truth was distilled into my heart. This caused my feelings of devotion to overflow." St. Augustine, Confessions1 The Basilica di San Marco of the Venetian Renaissance was the locus of organization for an elaborate liturgy that was intimately engaged with a longstanding tradition in the production and performance of sacred music. We see at San Marco not only musicians responding to the acoustic demands of architectural features, but also the active involvement of architects in the configuration of space to accommodate musical concerns. This growing awareness of the role that architecture plays in shaping the listening experience can be observed both in Renaissance scholarly discourse and in the fascinating interaction between choirmaster Adrian Willaert and sculptor-architect Jacobo Sansovino during a series of sixteenth-century renovations to the choir.2 By considering architectural history, archival evidence, and recent applications of acoustic technology, an attempt will be made at reconstructing both the spatial and aural dimensions of worship and ritual in San Marco. Legally speaking, until 1807 San Marco was not the cathedral of Venice, but the private chapel of the doge. During the period of interest for this paper, the episcopal seat 1 James Joseph O'Donnell, Augustine Confessions (Oxford: Oxford UP, 2012) 96. 2 Deborah Howard and Laura Moretti, Sound and Space in Renaissance Venice: Architecture, Music, Acoustics (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2009), 31. -

While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note w ill appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin film ing at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.

Gabrieli E Rosenmüller
Venezia in Europa: Gabrieli e Rosenmüller Le stamperie musicali veneziane produssero, tra Cinquento 1 e Seicento, una enorme quantità di edizioni di musiche sacre e profane (non soltanto di compositori attivi a Venezia) che, insieme all’ampia circolazione di manoscritti, si diffusero rapidamente per tutta Europa, esportando lo stile italiano che si fece modello per più di una generazione di compositori e musicisti di Oltralpe. Questi, che spesso erano discepoli dei massimi maestri italiani, fecero proprî tali modelli elaborando a loro volta quello stile che conosciamo attraverso le opere dei musicisti inglesi che non di rado italianizzavano i loro nome 2, o di quelli tedeschi che componevano auff italiänische Inventinon 3. Si ricordano, tra i molti, Johann Jacob Froberger che fu allievo di Girolamo Frescobaldi, Marc-Antoine Charpentier che lo fu di Giacomo Carissimi o, prima di loro, Giovanni Gabrieli presso il quale compì gli studi musicali Heinrich Schütz (alias Henricus Sagittarius ). Soprattutto coi Paesi di area germanica Venezia aveva relazioni culturali molto intense, per i viaggi frequenti dei musici che nella capitale della Repubblica si recavano per studiare ritornando poi in patria, e per le musiche che circolavano attraverso la stampa. Proprio Giovanni Gabrieli fu figura di primissimo piano nella vita musicale veneziana ed europea: primo organista della Repubblica Serenissima di Venezia in san Marco , Gabrieli era conosciuto nei Paesi di lingua tedesca, oltre che per la sua fama, per le sue Sacræ Symphoniæ che nel 1598 l’editore Kauffmann pubblicò a Norimberga un anno dopo la prima edizione veneziana. La sua frenetica attività professionale, che lo impegnava in numerose chiese e istituzioni veneziane, comprendeva anche l’editoria: fu lui a curare le numerose pubblicazioni di musiche dello zio Andrea nonché le proprie.
