  • A Study of Performance Issues and an Edition of Alessandro Grandi’S Six Books of Concertato Motets
    A Study of Performance Issues And an Edition of Alessandro Grandi’s Six Books of Concertato Motets VOLUME I of II ANDREW JAMES PASSMORE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF YORK MUSIC SEPTEMBER 2014 2 “The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus. Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.” - William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice 3 ABSTRACT Alessandro Grandi (1586-1630) is a relatively unknown, yet significant figure in the development of seventeenth-century Italian sacred music. The dissemination of Grandi’s works, the number of reprints of his motets, and his inclusion in anthologies provide sufficient evidence that the substantial output of this composer is worthy of the public domain. If Grandi is to be performed, the creation of a reliable edition is essential. This submission is comprised of a scholarly edition of Grandi’s six books of concertato motets; a selection of ten motets with fully realised continuo parts which are intended to exemplify my research and enable others to apply these techniques to similar motets; an audio recording of a recital given in order to demonstrate the findings of my research; an accompanying study of related performance issues, including ornamentation, pitch, temperament, transposition, continuo style, figured bass, and instrumentation; and a historiographical study of the dissemination of the small-scale concertato motet across Europe, which has ultimately guided my choice of source material. Mine is the first complete edition of Grandi’s six books of concertato motets.

  • Music for Trombone and Voice from the Hapsburg Empire: an Historical Overview with Tenor Trombone Transcriptions
    Abstract Title of dissertation: MUSIC FOR TROMBONE AND VOICE FROM THE HAPSBURG EMPIRE: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW WITH TENOR TROMBONE TRANSCRIPTIONS Wayne W. Wells, Doctor of Musica l Arts, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Professor Gregory Mill er School of Music Compositions featuring voice and obbligato trombone reached a n artistic peak in the courts and monasteries of 18th century Austria due to the convergence of s everal factors. These factors included the influence of Giovanni Gabri eli and the many northern Italian composers who worked at the Austrian courts, the long history of religious connotations of the trombone in Germany and Austria , the high level of trombone playing in the courts of 18th century Vienna and Salzburg , and the unique ability of the trombone to blend with voices. This document explores the rich history of the trombone and charts the evolution of soloistic trombone writing in vocal music, from the innovations of large scale works by Gabrieli and Schütz to the highly virtuosic obbligato writing of composers in 18th century Austrian monasteries and the courts of Vienna and Salzburg. This exploration takes place through discussion of general trends in trombone writing as well as by examination of specific selected pieces that illustrate interesting or unique stylistic features. The document accompanies recordings of two recitals of Austrian and German music for trombone and voice from the 17th and 18th centuries. The r ecitals include several transcriptions of music originally written for alto trombone and alto voice into keys that would be suitable for performance by tenor trombone and tenor voice. This was done with the goal of sparking interest in this repertoire by less experienced trombonists.

  • Music and Lutheran Devotion in the Schütz Era
    Music and Lutheran Devotion in the Schütz Era Mary E. Frandsen n the sixteenth century, musical settings of two sorts of German texts – chorales and scripture verses – Iemerged as a distinctively Lutheran musical response to the Reformation. Both types of pieces can be regarded as consequences of Luther’s calls for congregational participation in worship, and for worship resources in the vernacular. The resulting vast repertoires of »Choralbearbeitungen« and »Spruchmotetten« have come to be closely associated with Lutheranism, and rightly regarded as fundamental to its musical identity. But the music inventories of Lutheran courts, Latin schools, and city churches reveal that the sixteenth-century repertoire also included numerous Latin motets, many of which flowed from the pens of such Catholic composers as Josquin, Clemens non papa, and Lasso1. Many of these texts were also drawn from the Bible, and thus this Latin repertoire also contributed significantly to the body of settings of scripture in Lutheran use. Early in the seventeenth century, however, Lutheran composers began to expand the range of their textual options by engaging musically with devotional texts. These took the form of prayers – personal supplications that give voice to the individual Christian’s ardent expressions of love for Christ in par- ticular2. With these prayers, a third type of text – the devotional text – entered the Lutheran repertoire. Musical settings of these Christocentric prayers quickly gained a permanent place in the repertoire of sacred music, and came to constitute a considerable body of music; from the opening years of the century until the emergence of Pietism around 1680, between 700 and 800 settings of devotional texts circu- lated among Lutherans, mostly in the form of motets and sacred concertos3.
