Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To musicians as to the musically aware of early sixteenth-century Europe the name Ludwig Senfl (ca. 1486-1543) was a familiar one. The protege of Heinrich Isaac, Senfl held positions at two of the major courts of his day: the Imperial Viennese and Bavarian ducal chapels. He was moreover an acknowledged master of every secular and sacred genre within the purview of educated men north of the Alps, to wit the polyphonic lied, Mass, motet, madrigal, and pedagogical setting. Senfl, despite his positions of prominence within bastions of Catholic orthodoxy, maintained a friendly theological and musical correspondence with Martin Luther, sending Luther at one point requested settings of sacred texts. Not only was Senfl's name recited in obligatory lists of "best masters" by commentators, but his compositions themselves were often reproduced in the theoretical treatises of the sixteenth century: Heyden, Glareanus, Faber, Coclius, Wilphlingseder, et al. His works survived in the living repertory of prints and manuscript copies fully seventy-five years after his death, a circumstance by no means typical in the Renaissance, a time of rapid stylistic change and constant demand for new works. The advent of continuo practice signalled the end of the tradition of live performance for the sacred works of Senfl, though his name occurred now and then in connection with that of his teacher Isaac and as author of settings of Horatian odes which figured into the curriculum of the Reformsgymnasium. It appears that within the context of pedagogy, the compositions of Senfl and his contemporaries were even sung in the original notation two centuries later by the Luneburg choir school whose members included the young Sebastian Bach. But with these exceptions, the Senfl sacred works were the dated productions of a past composer by the end of the Renaissance. His musical rediscovery occurred at the hand of the musicological pioneers of the eighteenth century: Forkel, Burney, and Gerber. By the mid-nineteenth century systematic work had begun on critical editions of scholarly standard that through succeeding generations of musician-researchers have brought the Senfl Gesamtausgabe ever closer to completion. Most prominent among the contributors to this effort are Winterfeld, Kroyer, Gerstenberg, Geering, and most recently, Martin Bente, whose studies of the watermarks and other features of the Munich choirbooks have greatly clarified many aspects of the Senfl style and chronology. Editorial emphasis to date has been on texts of the polyphonic Lieder, masses, and magnificats. Motets in general have been approached selectively, perhaps on the basis of quality and legibility of sources (the majority of items were inclusions of the Munich choirbooks), so that at the time that this project was undertaken, fully two-thirds of the repertory from this category remained untranscribed and therefore unavailable to musicians or scholars. The present study redresses this problem of availability and examines the stylistic and textual features of this large and important corpus.

Book excerpt: In this volume of the NSE, all five-part motets by Ludwig Senfl are published for the first time. It contains Marian motets such as Mater digna Dei / Ave, sanctissima Maria, which reflect the deep Marian devotion at the court of Duke Wilhelm IV, psalm motets in which Senfl sometimes refers to Josquin Desprez in different ways (e.g. Miserere mei, Deus), or works like Qui prophetice prompsisti, whose Tertia pars Vita in ligno moritur was extraordinarily widespread in the 16th century. In addition, the volume offers for the first time an edition of Senfl's large-scale Te Deum laudamus as well as various multi-text motets. Compositions such as Christ resurgens ex mortuis / Christ has risen show the points of contact between the spiritual Latin and vernacular spheres, other works - for example the Tanto tempore vobiscum / Philippe qui videt me - follow the tradition of the cantus firmus motet, in which Senfl enrolls sustainably. In the present volume of the NSE, all of Ludwig Senfl's five-part motets are published for the first time. It includes Marian motets such as Mater digna Dei / Ave, sanctissima Maria reflecting the Marian devotion at the court of Duke Wilhelm IV, psalm motets that refer to Josquin Desprez in various ways (e. g.

Compositions such as Christus resurgens ex mortuis / Christ ist erstanden show the points of contact between the sacred Latin and the vernacular spheres, while other works — for example Tanto tempore vobiscum / Philippe qui videt me — take up the long tradition of the cantus firmus motet , into which Senfl inscribes himself with lasting effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we sing lines in which a fifteenth-century musician uses ethereal polyphony to complain mundanely about money or hoarseness, more than half a millennium melts away. Equally intriguing are moments in which we experience solmization puns. These familiar worries and surprising jests break down temporal distances, humanizing the lives and endeavors of our musical forebears. Yet many instances of self-reference occur within otherwise serious pieces. Are these simply in-jokes, or are there more meaningful messages we risk neglecting if we dismiss them as comic relief? Music historian Jane D. Hatter takes seriously the pervasiveness of these features. Divided into two sections, this study considers pieces with self-referential features in the texts separately from discussions of pieces based on musical self-referential elements. Examining connections between self-referential repertoire from the years 1450–1530 and similar self-referential creations for painters' guilds, reveals musicians' agency in forming the first communities of early modern composers.

Download or read book Sacred Music and Liturgical Reform written by Rev. Anthony Ruff, O.S.B. and published by LiturgyTrainingPublications. This book was released on 2022-01-07 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Ruff, O.S.B., has written a brilliant, comprehensive, well-researched book about the treasures of the Church's musical tradition, and about the transformations brought about by liturgical reform. The liturgy constitution Sacrosanctum Concilium stated many revolutionary principles of liturgical reform. Regarding liturgical music, the Council's decrees mandated, on the one hand, the preservation of the inherited treasury of sacred music, and on the other hand, advocated adaptation and expansion of this treasury to meet the changed requirements of the reformed liturgy. In clear, precise language, he retrieves the Council's neglected teachings on the preservation of the inherited music treasury. He clearly shows that this task is not at odds with good pastoral practice, but is rather an integral part of it. The book proposes an alternate hermeneutic for understanding the Second Vatican Council's teachings on worship music.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Choral Music written by Melvin P. Unger and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-06-17 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human voice an incredibly beautiful and expressive instrument, and when multiple voices are unified in tone and purpose a powerful statement is realized. No wonder people have always wanted to sing in a communal context-a desire apparently stemming from a deeply rooted human instinct. Consequently, choral performance has often been related historically to human rituals and ceremonies, especially rites of a religious nature. This Historical Dictionary of Choral Music examines choral music and practice in the Western world from the Medieval era to the 21st century, focusing mostly on familiar figures like Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and Britten. But its scope is considerably broader, and it includes all sorts of music-religious, secular, and popular-from sources throughout the world. It contains a chronology, an introduction, a bibliography, and more than 1,000 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important composers, genres, conductors, institutions, styles, and technical terms of choral music.
Download or read book Aspects of the Performative in Medieval Culture written by Manuele Gragnolati and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume assesses performative structures within a variety of medieval forms of textuality, from vernacular literature to records of parliamentary proceedings, from prayer books to musical composition. Three issues are central to the volume: the role of ritual speech acts; the way in which authorship can be seen as created within medieval texts rather than as a given category; finally, phenomena of voice, created and situated between citation and repetition, especially in forms which appropriate and transform literary tradition. The volume encompasses articles by historians and musicologists as well as literary scholars. It spans European literature from the West (French, German, Italian) to the East (Church Slavonic), vernacular and Latin; it contrasts modes of liturgical meditation in the Western and Eastern Church with secular plays and songs, and it brings together studies on the character of ‛voice’ in major medieval authors such as Dante with examples of Dante-reception in the early twentieth century.
Download or read book The Cambridge History of Sixteenth Century Music written by Iain Fenlon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the seminal Cambridge History of Music series, this volume departs from standard histories of early modern Western music in two important ways. First, it considers music as something primarily experienced by people in their daily lives, whether as musicians or listeners, and as something that happened in particular locations, and different intellectual and ideological contexts, rather than as a story of genres, individual counties, and composers and their works. Second, by constraining discussion within the limits of a 100-year timespan, the music culture of the sixteenth century is freed from its conventional (and tenuous) absorption within the abstraction of 'the Renaissance', and is understood in terms of recent developments in the broader narrative of this turbulent period of European history. Both an original take on a well-known period in early music and a key work of reference for scholars, this volume makes an important contribution to the history of music.
