Penderecki’S Most Colorful and Extroverted [Pieces]’, the Credo Is a Sweeping, Lavishly Scored and Highly Romantic Setting of the Catholic Profession of Faith

CMYK NAXOS NAXOS Described by USA Today as ‘one of Penderecki’s most colorful and extroverted [pieces]’, the Credo is a sweeping, lavishly scored and highly Romantic setting of the Catholic profession of faith. Its use of traditional tonality alongside passages of choral speech, ringing brass and exotic percussive effects marks it as a potent Neo-romantic masterpiece. Composed more than 30 years earlier, the short avant garde Cantata recalls the sound world of Ligeti and celebrates DDD PENDERECKI: the survival, over 600 years, of the Jagellonian University near Kraków. ‘Antoni Wit and his PENDERECKI: Polish forces are incomparable in this repertoire’ (Penderecki’s Utrenja, Naxos 8.572031 / David 8.572032 Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com).

Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic an Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi
Music Inspired by Astronomy, Organized by Topic An Annotated Listing by Andrew Fraknoi © copyright 2019 by Andrew Fraknoi. All rights reserved. Used with permission. Borresen: At Uranienborg Cage: Atlas Eclipticalis Glass: Orion Connections between astronomy and music have been proposed since the time of the ancient Greeks. This annotated listing of both classical and popular music inspired by astronomy restricts itself to music that has connections to real science -- not just an astronomical term or two in the title or lyrics. For example, we do not list Gustav Holst’s popular symphonic suite The Planets, because it draws its inspiration from the astrological, and not astronomical, characteristics of the worlds in the solar system. Similarly, songs like Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun” or the Beatles’ “Across the Universe” just don’t contain enough serious astronomy to make it into our guide. When possible, we give links to a CD and a YouTube recording or explanation for each piece. The music is arranged in categories by astronomical topic, from asteroids to Venus. Additions to this list are most welcome (as long as they follow the above guidelines); please send them to the author at: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu Table of Contents Asteroids Meteors and Meteorites Astronomers Moon Astronomy in General Nebulae Black Holes Physics Related to Astronomy Calendar, Time, Seasons Planets (in General) Comets Pluto Constellations Saturn Cosmology SETI (Search for Intelligent Life Out There) Earth Sky Phenomena Eclipses Space Travel Einstein Star Clusters Exoplanets Stars and Stellar Evolution Galaxies and Quasars Sun History of Astronomy Telescopes and Observatories Jupiter Venus Mars 1 Asteroids Coates, Gloria Among the Asteroids on At Midnight (on Tzadik).

Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem and the Transformation From
MCDERMOTT, PAMELA D. J., DMA. The Requiem Reinvented: Brahms‘s Ein deutsches Requiem and the Transformation from Literal to Symbolic. (2010) Directed by Dr. Welborn Young. 217 pp. Johannes Brahms was the first composer to claim the requiem genre without utilizing the Catholic Missa pro defunctis text. Brahms compiled passages from Luther‘s Bible for his 1868 Ein deutsches Requiem, texts that focused on comfort for the living rather than judgment and pleas for mercy on behalf of the deceased. The absence of the traditional text and the change in message created a discrepancy between the genre named in the title and the language and content of the text, and engendered debate concerning the work‘s genre classification. This unresolved debate affects understanding about the development of the genre after 1868. This study applied semiotic theory to the question of genre classification for Ein deutsches Requiem. Marcel Danesi‘s The Quest for Meaning: A Guide to Semiotic Theory and Practice (2007) outlined a method for organizing information relevant to encoded meaning in signifiers such as signs, symbols, and icons. This theory was applied to Ein deutsches Requiem in order to uncover and document encoded meaning behind the word ―requiem‖ in Brahms‘s title. Robert Chase‘s Dies Irae: A Guide to Requiem Music (2003) and Memento Mori: A Guide to Contemporary Memorial Music (2007) provided data from the earliest requiem manuscripts to twenty-first century requiems. Analysis of these data resulted in clearly defined systems of convention related to the genre over time. Identification of the specific practices of requiem composers by era was foundational for an accurate description of the genre both before and after Ein deutsches Requiem.

A “Farewell” to His Past: Krzysztof Penderecki's Clarinet Quartet And
A “FAREWELL” TO HIS PAST: KRZYSZTOF PENDERECKI’S CLARINET QUARTET AND SEXTET A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2012 by Peter L. Cain B.M., Vanderbilt University, 2007 M.M., University of Minnesota, 2009 ii Abstract Krzysztof Penderecki’s turn in the last three decades to a more approachable style can be seen most clearly in his chamber music. Although larger works like his Credo and Seven Gates of Jerusalem have received more recent attention, Penderecki himself points to chamber music as his most fertile area of innovation. This document compares the Clarinet Quartet and Sextet to his other recent works, both chamber and large-scale. It uses motivic and intervallic analysis to expose the underlying structure of the works, and then compares the compositional fabric of these two pieces to other recent chamber works. It also situates these works within the larger picture of Penderecki’s later output and argues that the Clarinet Quartet is a key work that marks a turning point in his later “synthesis” period. iii © 2012 by Peter L.

Krzysztof Penderecki's St. Luke Passion, Polish Requiem And
Regina Ch lopicka (Kraków) Krzysztof Penderecki's St. Luke Passion, Polish Requiem and Credo in the Context of Polish History This is a country torn away from its own past by the forceful means imposed by the communists, but it is so strongly tied with that past that it reconstructs its capital from Canaletto paintings. Jean-Paul Sartre1 Man must know where he comes from in order to know where he is going. A nation without history loses its way like a man without memory. As Orwell put it, \the totalitarian regime buries history in the grave of the memory." Norman Davies2 Krzysztof Penderecki's works and the historical situations in which they emerged are linked by relations which are complex, sometimes remote and difficult to specify. In spite of stylistic transformations that the composer's works undergo (mainly in the area of musical language), his œuvre is internally coherent and bears prominent and recognisable marks of his personality; as an artistic phenomenon it is recognisable and possible to receive without the awareness of the historical context. Nonetheless, the attitude of Penderecki as an artist, his choice of themes or the messages which his consecutive works carry do refer meaningfully, although sometimes very broadly, to the times when he has had to live and work, to the historical (political, social or cultural) situations and events which took place in Poland and in the world in the second half of the 20th Century. 1Quoted after Dzieje Polski. Kalendarium [\History of Poland. A Chronology"], ed. by Andrzej Chwalba, Kraków 1999, p.
