    MISSA PAPAE MARCELLI: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE KYRIE AND GLORIA MOVEMENTS OF GIOVANNI PIERLUIGI DA PALESTRINA AND AN ADAPTATION BY GIOVAN NI FRANCESCO ANERIO Michael J. Moore, B.M.E.

Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Moore, Michael J., Missa Papae Marcelli: A Comparative Analysis of the Kyrie and Gloria Movements of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and an Adaptation by Giovanni Francesco Anerio. Master of Music (Music Theory), May 2006, 81 pp., 51 examples, 28 bibliographic references. My comparative analysis of Missa Papae Marcelli includes discussion about the historical significance of Palestrina’s contribution to church music reform with regard to Marcello Cervini’s reforms in church doctrine. The compositional techniques and adherence to clarity of text are important aspects of Palestrina’s music that have earned him the title “savior” of polyphonic music. The comparative analysis will begin with a detailed study of Palestrina’s compositional method including an examination of voice leading, text setting, and cadence types. These compositional techniques will be compared to Anerio’s 1619 adaptation of the Palestrina model. An examination of Anerio’s adaptation illustrates how changes in composition shift from a contrapuntal design with elided phrases to a harmonic design with regular phrase structures. Adaptive techniques include both borrowed and newly composed material. Borrowed material includes introductory statements and closing gestures; however, much of the body of each movement is altered and shortened.

  • Madrigal (Music) 1 Madrigal (Music)
    Madrigal (music) 1 Madrigal (music) A madrigal is a secular vocal music composition, usually a partsong, of the Renaissance and early Baroque eras. Traditionally, polyphonic madrigals are unaccompanied; the number of voices varies from two to eight, and most frequently from three to six. Madrigals originated in Italy during the 1520s. Unlike many strophic forms of the time, most madrigals were through-composed. In the madrigal, the composer attempted to express the emotion contained in each line, and sometimes individual words, of a celebrated poem. The madrigal originated in part from the frottola, in part from the resurgence in interest in vernacular Italian poetry, and also from the influence of the French chanson and polyphonic style of the motet as written by the Franco-Flemish composers who had naturalized in Italy during the period. A frottola generally would consist of music set to stanzas of text, while madrigals were through-composed. However, some of the same poems were used for both frottola and madrigals.[1] The poetry of Petrarch in particular shows up in a wide variety of genres.[1] The madrigal is related mostly by name alone to the Italian trecento madrigal of the late 13th and 14th centuries.[2] In Italy, the madrigal was the most important secular form of music of its time. The madrigal reached its formal and historical zenith by the second half of the 16th century. English and German composers, too, took up the madrigal in its heyday. After the 1630s, the madrigal began to merge with the cantata and the dialogue. With the rise of opera in the early 17th century, the aria gradually displaced the madrigal.[3] History Origins and early madrigals In the early 16th century, several humanistic trends converged which allowed the madrigal to form.

  • THE LIFE of GIOVANNI MARIA NANINO in 1545', the Council of Trent Began Its Work
    THE LIFE OF GIOVANNI MARIA NANINO In 1545', the Council of Trent began its work. Paul III was pope in Rome, and the Society of Jesus was just beginning its efforts to stem the tide of the Protestant Reformation. It was the beginning of the activity known as the Catholic Reformation or the Counter­ Reformation, a phenomenon that would continue for nearly a hun­ dred years until the Treaty of Westphalia ( 1648) would bring an end to much of the religious struggle that dominated the sixteenth century. In Rome, the Basilica of Saint Peter was rising under Michel­ angelo's direction, and the rebuilding of the city after the sack of 15'27 was underway. The Middle Ages had come to an end in Rome, and the period of the Italian Renaissance was over. In Tivoli, at the edge of the Sabine hills overlooking the Roman Cam­ pagna, Cardinal Ippolito d'Este was about to begin the construction of his great villa ( 1 5' 49) . Pope Paul III was reconstructing Tivoli's fortifications and castle in case another invasion should occur. A short distance from Tivoli in the hill city of Palestrina, young Gio­ vanni Pierluigi was shortly to leave his position in the cathedral of his native town to move to Rome under the patronage of his friend, Pope Julius III ( 15 51).
