Download or read book Ornamentation in Baroque and Post baroque Music written by Frederick Neumann and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1983-12-21 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ornaments play an enormous role in the music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and ambiguities in their notation (as well as their frequent omission in the score) have left doubt as to how composers intended them to be interpreted. Frederick Neumann, himself a violinist and conductor, questions the validity of the rigid principles applied to their performance. In this controversial work, available for the first time in paperback, he argues that strict constraints are inconsistent with the freedom enjoyed by musicians of the period. The author takes an entirely new look at ornamentation, and particularly that of J. S. Bach. He draws on extensive research in England, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States to show that prevailing interpretations are based on inadequate evidence. These restrictive interpretations have been far-reaching in their effect on style. By questioning them, this work continues to stimulate a reorientation in our understandiing of Baroque and post-Baroque music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For professional and amateur musicians who want to perform the music of Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Telemann, and other composers of the period, Baroque Music provides a clear, readable guide to the standard repertoire - and more - examining more of the major Baroque works in detail than any other book ever published. With wit and clarity, Victor Rangel-Ribeiro draws on the writings of C.P.E. Bach, J.J. Quantz, G.P. Telemann, Francesco Geminiani, Leopold Mozart, and Giuseppe Tartini to offer advice to instrumentalists, singers, and conductors seeking to cope with the difficult aspects of eighteenth-century German, Italian, and English Baroque masterworks. Baroque Music shows how to: interpret Baroque ornaments; provide ornamentation where composers provide only a bare melody; accompany from a 'figured bass'; apply Baroque performance practices to the works of individual composers; synthesize and apply knowledge of Baroque music to bring freshness to works in the standard repertoire, as well as to works that may be less familiar. Moving from relatively simple material to more complex works, the performer is continually made aware of the effects of chronology and national milieu on performance and is encouraged to apply all the knowledge he or she acquires directly to the music being performed."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Baroque Music written by Claude V. Palisca and published by Pearson. This book was released on 1991 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book invites the reader to study with ear and eye some typical examples of the music of the baroque period. Is is not a comprehensive survey or a gallery of the most famous composers and their works. Certain important figures are hardly named, while others lesser known are treated at length, and this goes also for the various categories of composition. The emphasis is upon giving the reader an entry into the most significant manners of composition through concrete examples. The reader will gain a method of approaching the principle styles and genres, keys to intimate understanding and further exploration. The approach to analysis is based as much as possible on criteria and terminology common in the baroque period. -- from Preface.

Book excerpt: The Baroque Style in music emerged during the late sixteenth century and lasted well into the eighteenth. Italy was the source of this new artistic impulse, which soon spread across Europe, and the period was one of striking contrasts and innovations. Few other eras witnessed such a profusion of new forms: opera, oratorio, cantata, sonata and concerto. Although Baroque music contained distinct national idioms, fundamental values were shared by all the leading creative figures of the time. One such value was a declared intent to move the passions, to stir emotions - those emotions appropriate to the two great contemporary patrons of music, the Church and the nobility. Ecclesiastical commissions encouraged composers to depict suffering, pathos and elation, while secular and court patronage gave them the opportunity to evoke splendor and opulence. Nicholas Anderson, a leading authority on Baroque music and a well-known scholar and broadcaster, relates musical history to the cultural milieu of Church and court, as well as to public patronage. He considers both major figures such as Bach, Handel and Vivaldi, and lesser-known artists whose music is now being avidly collected and explored - Telemann, Charpentier and Leclair, among others. The Baroque period, one of the richest in Western music, provided the foundation for all subsequent musical development. Its enduring strength is amply attested by the popularity of today's "authentic" performances and recordings. Now this growing interest finds its proper complement in a complete and authoritative account of the Baroque heritage.
