Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher's URL: https://www.areditions.com/rr/rrb/b161.html Johann David Heinichen (1683-1729) is known today principally as the author of the great 1728 treatise Der General-Baß in der Composition, a comprehensive discussion of the practice of continuo realization and of its place in the art of composition. But Heinichen also occupied one of the most prestigious musical posts in Europe, that of kapellmeister to the Royal and Electoral court in Dresden. This volume contains a selection of the music he composed for the office of Vespers in the court church during the 1720s. Second only to the Mass in importance in Catholic liturgy, the different components of the Vespers service¿the psalms, Marian antiphons, hymns, and Magnificat¿afforded composers great opportunity for a variety of dramatic expression, an opportunity that Heinichen fully exploited. Heinichen¿s settings use a mixture of chorus and vocal solos and are all with instrumental accompaniment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haynes (U. of Montreal) traces the history of musical pitch standards over the last four centuries, linking frequency values to pitch names and telling where, when, and why various pitch levels have been used. With a focus on Italy, France, Germany, the Netherlands and the Hapsburg lands, he covers the pitches of about 1,400 historical instruments and how the design and function influenced and were influenced by changes in pitch. In addition, he studies the effect of pitch differences on musical notation and choice of key. The author has also written a book on the oboe, the instrument that plays the "A" to which a symphony orchestra tunes. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Bach s Well tempered Clavier written by David Ledbetter and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bach's Well-tempered Clavier (or the 48 Preludes and Fugues) stands at the core of baroque keyboard music and has been a model and inspiration for performers and composers ever since it was written. This invaluable guide to the 96 pieces explains Bach's various purposes in compiling the music, describes the rich traditions on which he drew, and provides commentaries for each prelude and fugue. In his text, David Ledbetter addresses the main focal points mentioned by Bach in his original 1722 title page. Drawing on Bach literature over the past three hundred years, he explores German traditions of composition types and Bach's novel expansion of them; explains Bach's instruments and innovations in keyboard technique in the general context of early eighteenth-century developments; reviews instructive and theoretical literature relating to keyboard temperaments from 1680 to 1750; and discusses Bach's pedagogical intent when composing the Well-tempered Clavier. Ledbetter's commentaries on individual preludes and fugues equip readers with the concepts necessary to make their own assessment and include information about the sources when details of notation, ornaments, and fingerings have a bearing on performance.
