Book excerpt: The Credo movement of a Mass is a musical setting of the words of the Christian Creed. By Beethoven's time, the Mass as a musical form was no longer inextricably tied to the Church, but often performed in concert halls. In the spring of 1819, Beethoven began work on the Missa Solemnis which he originally intended for Archduke Rudolph's enthronement in 1820, but did not complete until 1823. By the 1820's, Beethoven's interest in Renaissance counterpoint and fugal and contrapuntal writing in the style of Bach was increasingly evident in his music. Indeed, in his diary for the year 1815, just before his last major period of composition, Beethoven wrote about his desire to conduct and compose for a small court or chapel orchestra, composing music to the glory of God much as Bach had. As revealed in his correspondence and other writings, Beethoven's God was simultaneously a personal paternal figure and omnipotent. Oriental views of God influenced this belief. Beethoven looked to God for the love and support his own father had not provided. Jesus, on the other hand, Beethoven saw as a suffering human being much like himself. Beethoven owned and presumably had read the writings of many Catholic and Protestant spiritual leaders, but he also had or read those of philosophers such as Kant, Hegel and Schlegel, and literary authors such as Vergil, Goethe, and Ovid. While the teachings of the Church partially affected his religious beliefs, as a man of the Enlightenment who conversed with other such men about philosophy, he was perhaps more influenced by the philosophers of the time. All of these influences may be observed in the Credo through such musical techniques as word painting, harmonic structure, word changes, and the concluding double fugue. In a letter written in 1824, Beethoven wrote, "my chief aim [in writing the Missa Solemnis] was to awaken and permanently instill religious feelings not only into the singers but also into the listeners." This project is an attempt to understand the beliefs of an aging Beethoven through a close analysis of the Credo of his last Mass.

Download or read book Beethoven s Century written by Hugh Macdonald and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays by the noted authority on nineteenth-century music, the topics ranging from Beethoven and Schubert to comic opera to Scriabin and Janácek. In Beethoven's Century: Essays on Composers and Themes, world-renowned musicologist Hugh Macdonald draws together many of his richest essays on music from Beethoven's time into the early twentieth century. The essays are here revised and updated, and some are printed in English for the first time. Beethoven's Century addresses perennial questions of what music meant to the composer and his audiences, how it was intended to be played, andhow today's audiences can usefully approach it. Opening with a revealing analysis of Beethoven's not always generous regard for his listeners, the essays probe aspects of Schubert's musical personality, the brief friendshipbetween Berlioz and Schumann, Liszt's abilities as a conductor, and Viennese views of Wagner as expressed by Hugo Wolf. Essays on comic opera and trends in French opera libretti in the late nineteenth century reflect the author's long-standing sympathy for French music, and strikingly eccentric personalities in the world of music, such as Paganini, Alkan, Skryabin, and Janácek, are brought to life. Beethoven's Century concludes with a wrylook at some startling developments in early twentieth-century music that have often been overlooked. Hugh Macdonald has taught music at the Universities of Cambridge, Oxford, and Glasgow, and since 1987 has been Avis H. Blewett Distinguished Professor of Music at Washington University, St. Louis. He has written books on Skryabin and Berlioz, and is a regular pre-concert speaker for the Boston and St. Louis Symphony Orchestras.
