  • Originally Adaptated from French and Flemish Chansons, the Canzon Is a Type of Instrumental Music That Was Popularized in the 16Th and 17Th Centuries
    Originally adaptated from French and Flemish chansons, the canzon is a type of instrumental music that was popularized in the 16th and 17th centuries. Most often characterized with the opening dactylic rhythm (long, short, short), the canzon da sonar (chanson to be played) became independent of earlier vocal models in the 1570s, and by 1600 had become the most important form of instrumental music in Italy. Ensemble canzoni were composed by all sorts of musicians—from the master composer/organist Giovanni Gabrieli with his multi- choired works for the ceremonies at San Marco in Venice, to lesser-known Northern European composers like Erasmus Widmann, who spent most of his career working as court musician in the region of Germany near Nuremberg. Widmann’s canzoni, included in his Gantz Neue Cantzon, Intraden, Balletten und Couranten (Nuremberg, 1618) were considered his finest instrumental works. Strikingly similar to the Venetian canzoni of earlier decades, these canzoni were described by composer Michael Praetorius—the greatest musical academic of the day—as “fresh, joyful, and fast.” While most of the Venetian canzoni of the period are written in four parts, Widmann composed his instrumental music in five parts much like the music of his contemporaries Brade and Simpson. This scoring, with two equal soprano parts, makes Widmann’s canzoni particularly well suited to adaptation by the modern brass quintet. Charles Whittenberg's Little Fantasy on Bach's Advent-Chorale: “Nun komm, der heiden Heiland” (Cantata #62) had its premiere performance at Philharmonic Hall, Lincoln Center on December 31, 1968. After a statement of the Chorale theme, Whittenberg develops the material in a brilliant fashion.
