The decisive turn : Chambonnières as inspirer of the French baroque organ styleAtkinson, Rodney Craig 01 January 1977 (has links)
If we are to account for a “decisive turn,” four questions must be asked, based upon the preceding considerations. First, what was the artistic ambience in seventeenth-century France that could have imposed a secular keyboard style upon a church-associated instrument? Second, what harpsichord composer or composers had sufficient contact with these organists to influence them to use a more secular style? Third, what stylistic similarities exist between that composer and the organists whose work he may have influenced? Fourth, are any of the same stylistic similarities present in the organ works of other seventeenth-century organ composers?
By answering these questions, the writer intends to present evidence that Jaques Champion de Chambonnières was the inspirer of these four stylistic traits which appeared in French Baroque organ music during the second half of the seventeenth century. In so doing we shall regard his influence as a part of the cultural and artistic ambience which existed in France at that time.

The employment of ornamentation in present day trombone performance of transcriptions of Baroque literatureMalterer, Edward Lee January 1979 (has links)
The basic purpose of this dissertation is to provide the trombonist of today with a realization concerning ornamentation practices of the baroque period, and to supply trombonists and trombone instructors with the resources necessary to include the appropriate ornaments in a performance of baroque music.Chapter 1 is concerned with the ornamentation practices of Italy and France, the two most influential nations in the development of a mature style of baroque performance. The Italian tradition of free embellishment is presented and compared with the French tradition of composers' providing specific ornaments for their music. The author's choice of ornaments presented in the sonatas of Galliard, Marcello, and Vivaldi in Chapters 4, 5, and 6 is based on the prominence of these two styles.Chapter 2 is a presentation of the three most popular categories of embellishments employed during the baroque period. The families of appoggiaturas, trills, and mordents, are notated together with suggestions for their proper expression and execution on the trombone. Examples are taken from the embellished sonatas presented later in this study, using measure numbering to identify their placement withineach measure.Chapter 3 is an essay dealing with the art of trilling on the trombone. The overtone series is explained in regard to the formation of thirds, and to the proper notation necessary to adequately perform trills of major and minor thirds. A section concerning the use of the "F" attachment for performing baroque trills is highlighted with examples identifying several valve and slide combinations that favor the execution of major and minor seconds on the trombone.Chapters 4, 5, and 6 are an application of baroque embellishments to eighteen sonatas from the baroque period. Each of the ornaments is notated and placed within the context of the music. The musical compositions chasen for this study represent the Six Sonatas for Bassoon and Harpsichord Johann Ernst Galliard, Six Sonatas for Viloncello and Piano by Benedetto Marcello, and Six Sonatas for Violoncello and Figured Bass by Antonio Vivaldi.

Writing and publishing music theory in early seventeenth-century Italy : Adriano Banchieri and his contemporariesBallantyne, Abigail L. January 2014 (has links)
Why write music theory and publish it? In the thesis I investigate the reasons for a seeming over-abundance of practically oriented music treatises in early seventeenth-century Italy. Throughout I challenge our conventional assessment of the study of music theory: I suggest that we can define a music-theoretical text in terms of its material form in addition to its content. Adriano Banchieri (1568-1634) was the most prolific theorist in early seventeenth-century Italy. His music-theory books exemplify contemporary printing patterns, an overt practical focus, and a synthesis of contemporary theoretical innovations. In Chapter 1, after considering the meaning of 'music theory' and how it is typically classified, I discuss the process of and purposes for writing and publishing music theory. In Chapter 2 I explore Banchieri's practical and philosophical motives for writing music theory, and thus introduce the reader to his music-theoretical corpus. The focus of the thesis then broadens: in Chapter 3 I survey the typical authors, publishing houses, content, material form, function and readers of the various kinds of theoretical texts printed in Italy between 1600 and 1630. In Chapter 4 I examine the widespread practice of publishing second and revised editions of music-theory books in order to establish the extent to which a new edition corresponds to a seeming demand for a particular text. The case study of the paratext of Banchieri's Conclusiones de musica (Bologna, 1627) in Chapter 5 demonstrates the great extent to which the preliminary matter of an early Seicento music-theory book is embedded in its socio-cultural context and how a paratext projects ideas contained in the text proper. Lastly, in Chapter 6 I explore to whom and in which particular forums theoretical writings circulated. Here I focus principally on Banchieri's printed letters, which provide evidence of how an author circulated his music books.

The guitar anthology of Henry Francois de Gallot (1661): A preliminary studyCorcoran, Kathleen Anne, 1959- January 1988 (has links)
The manuscript entitled "Pieces de Guitarre de differende Autheure recuellis par Henry Francois de Gallot" (GB:Ob Ms. Mus. Sch. C94) is one of the largest single collections of music for the Baroque guitar. The source contains over 600 pieces by various composers, including Gallot and Corbetta. An overview of the physical characteristics, organization, and stylistic features of this important source is intended to provide a basis for further study and concordance search.

Notational systems and practices for the lute, vihuela and guitar from the Renaissance to the present dayFang, Ming-Jian January 1988 (has links)
Discussion in this dissertation is directed toward the lute, vihuela and guitar's notational systems and practices: chapters two, three, four, and five are concerned with the stylistic changes in the notations. The history of the tablatures is presented in a paralled fashion with that of the four-course and five-course guitars. An attempt is made to eliminate the guitarist's lack of knowledge about most practices and about subtle differences in performance. This is accomplished by presenting the development of these notations from the Renaissance to the present day.This study is concerned with the mastery and understanding of notation. After an introduction, the second chapter discusses three main tablatures for the lute and vihuela. It is important to confine oneself to the tablatures, in order that they be throughly understood. Thusthe third chapter deals with ornamentations, the fourth chapter with four-course, five course, six-course and six-string guitar notations, and the fifth chapter encompasses progressive notationfor the modern guitar. Systems for folk and commercial music are not addressed in this paper.The author hopes that with the use of this dissertation, tablatures can be handled with less difficulty and put into proper perspective. Careful thought has been given in selecting representative examples and notational literature excerpts as illustrations for the reader and/or performer. These examples need not only be studied but can be used as preparation for any other related composition. The purpose of this study is to supply teachers, students, and guitarists with a ready-reference guide to the notational practices for the lute, vihuela and guitar, a subject previously shrouded in confusion. / School of Music

Harpsichord and lute music in seventeenth-century France : an assessment of the influence of lute on keyboard repertoireLedbetter, David January 1985 (has links)
The view that the lute exercised an important influence on the formation of French harpsichord style in the seventeenth century is a commonplace of musicology which has not until now been thoroughly investigated. This thesis is an attempt to determine the nature of that influence taking into account as much of the available relevant material as possible. The first chapter outlines the status and function of stringed keyboard instruments, particularly in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, using a wide variety of non-musical sources whether literary, archival, or documentary. It also charts the relative standing of the two instruments and the interrelationship of their repertoires as viewed by contemporaries throughout the seventeenth century. The second chapter provides a survey of the evolution of French lute style based on a detailed study of most of the French lute sources from the period cl600-cl670 and including the more important sources from cl670-cl700. The third chapter presents detailed comparisons of individual works existing in versions for both lute and keyboard. These are based on numerous parallel transcriptions presented in the second volume. The material for this section is provided by a concordance file for virtually all French seventeenth-century lute sources designed to be usable in conjunction with Gustafson's keyboard catalogue. The final chapter is an attempt to define the degree of affinity existing between particular features of the central harpsichord style and that of the lute on the basis of principles established in the previous discussions. This thesis contains the first detailed discussion of the works of the principal seventeenth-century French lutenists in the context of a survey of the general development of the lute style. Numerous illustrative examples of hitherto unpublished lute music are included in the second volume. The final chapter also discusses some new sources of French harpsichord music dating from the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, with transcriptions. Also discussed for the first time is the Premier Livre (1687) of Elizabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, and a transcription of a suite supposedly written in imitation of the lute is given. A comprehensive concordance of pieces existing in versions for both lute and harpsichord is given in Volume II.

Previous issue date: 2008 / Resumo: Ao nos depararmos, inicialmente, com um método de instrumento, podemos fazer algumas perguntas para nos auxiliar na forma de estudá-lo: O que este método quer nos ensinar? Qual é a sua essência? No que ele mais focaliza? Quais são os tipos de exercícios e que repertório ele contém? Até o início do século XVI, o trompete não era considerado um instrumento perfeito e harmonioso, no sentido de se fazer boa música ou como um instrumento que possuía musicalidade, mas apenas para se fazer sinais e toques religiosos, civis ou militares. Vinte e quatro anos após a doação do primeiro método de trompete, "Volume di Tutta l'arte della Trombetta" por Cesare Bendinelli (1542-1617), o músico italiano Girolamo Fantini (1602-c1675) publicou o "Modo per imparare a sonare di Tromba", com uma proposta de aplicação sistemática e musical de novos princípios técnicos que determinaram a inclusão do trompete entre os instrumentos considerados perfeitos. Os principais objetivos deste trabalho são: realizar uma tradução do texto introdutório do 'Modo per Imparare a Sonare di Tromba (1638)', de Girolamo Fantini; possibilitar propostas interpretativas aos exercícios e às peças musicais contidas neste método de trompete natural; realizar intercâmbio de informações com profissionais e professores de trompete natural e do trompete barroco. / Abstract: When one initiates an investigative study of a particular method, for the playing of an instrument, it is necessary to ask some fundamental questions: What does this method intend to teach the reader? What is the work's essence? What aspect or aspects does it empathizes? What is the nature of the exercises and repertoire that contains? Prior to the 16th century the trumpet was primarily utilized to perform signals within a religious, civic or military context and was not considered a viable instrument for the production of "art music". Twenty-four years after the donation of the first manuscript of an trumpet method, "Volume di tutta l'arte della trombetta" by Cesare Bendinelli (1542- 1617), the Italian musician, Girolamo Fantini (1602-c1675), published his "Modo per imparare a sonare di Tromba". Fantini's method, applying new technical principles, outlined a musical and systematic approach which determined the inclusion of the trumpet as an art instrument. The main objectives of this work are: to accomplish a translation of the introductory text from Girolamo Fantini's "Modo per Imparare a Sonare di Tromba"(1638), recommend plausible interpretations of the exercises and musical pieces contained within the method, and to initiate an exchange of information regarding natural trumpet performance from professionals and teachers of the instrument. / Mestrado / Mestre em Música
