He is an eloquent musician. His rhythmic sense is clear-cut American. His feet elegantly tap dance on the pedals. Everything he plays is sharply and smartly delineated. His tempos were on the satisfyingly quick side, yet so naturally that nothing felt rushed or unduly showy. ….Most listened to emotionally and musically challenging, unfamiliar pieces with riveted attention…an unnervingly honest and direct performance, astonishing for so young a performer.

Early Baroque Keyboard Instruments Music for the Cimbalo Cromatico and Other Split- Keyed Instruments in Seventeenth-Century Italy* Christopher Stembridge The Concept of the Cimbalo Cromatico Although no example of such an instrument is known to have survived intact, the cimbalo cromatico was a clearly defined type of harpsichord that apparently enjoyed a certain vogue in Italy during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.1 The earliest use of the term is found in the titles of two toccatas per il cimbalo cromatico included by Ascanio Mayone in his Secondo Libro di Diversi Capricci per Sonare published in Naples in 1609.2 Subsequently the term was used in publications by This is the first of three related articles.

  • The Harpsichord: a Research and Information Guide
    THE HARPSICHORD: A RESEARCH AND INFORMATION GUIDE BY SONIA M. LEE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Music with a concentration in Performance and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Charlotte Mattax Moersch, Chair and Co-Director of Research Professor Emeritus Donald W. Krummel, Co-Director of Research Professor Emeritus John W. Hill Associate Professor Emerita Heidi Von Gunden ABSTRACT This study is an annotated bibliography of selected literature on harpsichord studies published before 2011. It is intended to serve as a guide and as a reference manual for anyone researching the harpsichord or harpsichord related topics, including harpsichord making and maintenance, historical and contemporary harpsichord repertoire, as well as performance practice. This guide is not meant to be comprehensive, but rather to provide a user-friendly resource on the subject. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my dissertation advisers Professor Charlotte Mattax Moersch and Professor Donald W. Krummel for their tremendous help on this project. My gratitude also goes to the other members of my committee, Professor John W. Hill and Professor Heidi Von Gunden, who shared with me their knowledge and wisdom. I am extremely thankful to the librarians and staff of the University of Illinois Library System for assisting me in obtaining obscure and rare publications from numerous libraries and archives throughout the United States and abroad.

In a way these improvisations are similar to the way jazz musicians improvise on harmonic progressions, although in my opinion Henry Purcell (1659-1695) Padre Antonio Soler (1729-1783) jazz musicians are generally more eloquent in their improvisations, perhaps due to a 2.

The work interrogates milestone confrontations during the civil rights movement, such as the Little Rock Nine Crisis, the African Anticolonial Movement, and the pivotal 1963 direct action campaigns waged by Martin Luther King, Jr. and the SCLC, the NAACP and SNCC. The aim of this method of historical inquiry is to determine why and how these events motivated the profiled musicians and writers to use their gifts to express opinions on the racial tumult of the era.
