A Performance Edition of the Vespers Settings in Sacri E Festivi Concenti, Opera Nona by Giovanni Legrenzi

Sullivan, Ryan W. 05 1900 (has links)
Giovanni Legrenzi was a prolific composer of vocal music and maestro di cappella at the Basilica di San Marco but his vocal works are not often studied as a part of the Venetian lineage with composers such as Willaert, de Rore, Zarlino, Monteverdi, Cavalli, and Vivaldi. Despite his being a prolific composer who had significant influence on the work of other musicians in the traditional canon, references to Legrenzi in standard music publications (Grout, Taruskin, Grove Music Online, etc.) are at best sparse, and largely biographical. This dissertation is one step to correct that pattern by creating a performance edition of Sacri e festivi concenti, Opera nona, one of Legrenzi's significant works near the beginning of his Venetian period. This collection of sacred music was published on 12 June 1667 in Venice though Legrenzi's exact whereabouts at the time remain uncertain. This phase of his career can be defined by his having sought more prestigious and lucrative employment. Having lived and worked in rural Lombardy and Ferrara, he made unsuccessful overtures in places such as Milan, Bologna, Vienna, and Paris. A full score has been produced by transcribing from the part books of the Bologna Museo copy, which will allow consumers to have insight into Legrenzi's music. A performance edition of these Vespers settings is important because it would increase access to, and understanding of, Giovanni Legrenzi's music. This era of Italian music between Monteverdi and Vivaldi is often underperformed by practitioners. One goal of this project is to broaden the work's circulation through a music publisher that would be willing to include portions of the chapters outlined in this proposal. Doing so would offer the work as a good specimen of the period to a wider audience of performers and scholars alike.

Jag vet inte hur jag ska börja... : Instudering av modernistisk konstmusik med utgångspunkt i Arnold Schönbergs Pierrot Lunaire

Poignant, Eleonora January 2021 (has links)
Ämnet för denna kandidatuppsats är Arnold Schönbergs verk Pierrot Lunaire. Det komponerades under sommaren 1912 och är än idag ett av de mest fascinerande modernistiska verk som finns, ofta framfört och ständigt aktuellt. Jag har i uppsatsen, förutom att ha gett en redogörelse för uppkomsten av Pierrot Lunaire och dess betydelse, undersökt min egen inlärningsprocess när jag som sångerska instuderat fyra satser ur verket, och utifrån resultatet dragit slutsatser om hur den här typen av musik bäst instuderas. Syftet med studien var alltså en utforskning av olika metoder för instudering, specifikt inom området svårinlärd vokalmusik. Metodiskt består denna undersökning av några olika komponenter. Själva studien i inlärning genomfördes på min loggbok över övningstimmar ägnade åt Arnold Schönbergs Pierrot Lunaire, vilken jag strukturerat efter tre sinsemellan olika instuderingsmetoder, som sedan i retrospektiv vägs mot varandra för att påvisa vilken som ger störst effektivitet. Utöver detta har jag läst en rad vetenskapliga artiklar i akt och mening att få begrepp om Pierrot Lunaire’s upphovspersoner samt deras levnadsförlopp, och därtill om själva verkets natur. Vidare har jag tillsammans med en pianist navigerat mig igenom musiken och spelat in ett klingande exempel som bifogas till denna uppsats. Resultatet av studien har varit relativt entydigt men vägen till den slutsats jag kunde dra har inte varit helt rak – det har visat sig att olika inlärningsprocesser kan ge olika resultat beroende på om man vill lära sig materialet på lång eller kort sikt. Man kan dra slutsatsen att en grundlig och systematisk instudering av de olika musikaliska aspekterna var för sig, påvisat med instuderingsmetod nr. 2 har det mest långsiktiga resultatet i fråga om precision och säkerhet, vilket i sin tur leder till större konstnärlig frihet. Detta resultat innebär insikt om hur jag, och förhoppningsvis andra, bör förhålla oss till instudering av modernistisk konstmusik. / <p>Bilaga 1 – Partitur på fyra satser ur <em>Pierrot Lunaire (</em>Arnold Schönberg, Op. 21 komponerad år 1912),<em> </em>se nedan. </p><p>Bilaga 2 - MP3-fil innhehållandes framförandet av fyra satser ur <em>Pierrot Lunaire.</em> </p><p>Sopran: Eleonora Poignant </p><p>Piano: Anonymiserad student vid KMH</p><p>1.

Churching the shawms in Renaissance Spain : Lerma, archivo de San Pedro ms. mus. 1

Kirk, Douglas Karl January 1993 (has links)
Numerous studies have shown that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Spanish churches (both metropolitan and monastic) employed bands of wind instrumentalists to play frequently in liturgies and processions throughout the church year. Exactly what this music was, though, beyond colla parte participation in masses and motets has remained conjectural because not a note of it has been found. This dissertation is a study and edition of a major, newly-discovered manuscript which contained part of the repertory of the minstrels who served the Duke of Lerma, c. 1607, in the collegial church of San Pedro in Lerma. By comparing the repertory in the manuscript with sixteenth- and seventeenth-century instructions to minstrels in Le6n and Palencia, it has been possible to establish typical ecclesiastical performance responsibilities of minstrels and deduce how such a collection of instrumental music would have been used. Furthermore, after study of the surviving inventories of San Pedro, it has been possible to reconstruct the entire polyphonic musical repertory of the church. This enables us to see the sort of musical library available to the typical succentor or chapelmaster of the time, and the place that minstrel repertory occupied. Finally, a significant number of the original Lerma manuscripts and prints have been traced into modern collections, allowing us to know much more about their origins and history than heretofore. / Plusieurs etudes ont demontre qu'au seizieme et au dix-septieme siecle, les eglises espagnoles (metropolitaines et monacales) employaient des ensembles de musiciens utilisant des instruments "hauts" pour jouer dans de nombreuses liturgies et processions tout au long de l'annee. Ce que cette musique etait precisement, au-dela de la participation dans l'accompagnement des choeurs des messes et motets, ne reste que conjectures puisqu' au aucune note n'a ete trouvee. Cette dissertation est une etude et une edition d'un manusmt d'une importance majeure et nouvellement decouvert, identifie comme ayant fait partie du repertoire des menestrels servant le duc de Lerma, c. 1607, qui etaient engages pour jouer a l' eglise collegiale de San Pedro a Lerma. En comparant le repertoire dans le manuscrit avec les instructions des menestrels du seizieme et du dix-septieme siecle a Le6n et Palencia, il a ete possible d' etablir les responsabilites musicales liturgique des menestrels et de deduire comment toute cette collection de musique instrumentale avait pu ~e utilisee. De plus, apres l' etude des inventaires subsistants de San Pedro, on a pu reconstruire le repertoire musical polyphonique dans son entier. Ceci nous permet de voir la collection musicale disponible du chantre ou maitre de chapelle typique du temps, ainsi que la place qu' occupait le repertoire des menestrels. Finalement un nombre significatif de manuscrits et imprimes a ete retrace dans les collections modemes, nous permettant d' en connaitre. fr

Estetické postoje Rafaela Kubelíka ve světle mnichovských pramenů / Rafael Kubelík's aesthetic preferences in the light of the Munich sources

Kraftová, Nikol January 2014 (has links)
This dissertation deals with the aesthetic opinions of conductor Rafael Kubelík as evidenced in the materials available in archives and cultural institutions in Munich as well as in the recollections of Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra members from the time of Kubelík's direction of that ensemble. The study includes an overview with commentary of the repertoire performed by Kubelík in subscription concerts by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, which along with Kubelík's comments and in comparison with the programme of other guest conductors indicates Kubelík's programming activities and probably his musical preferences. This study also discusses Kubelík's interest in opera and his ideas on its staging and production. Other chapters deal with Kubelík's qualities as a conductor and the specific demands he made on his performers. It also includes a curriculum vitae of Rafael Kubelík and a number of recollections by people who knew him, all of which serve to fill out the overall picture of Kubelík's personality.

Etude ethnomusicologique du bagana, lyre d'Ethiopie / Ethnomusicological study of the Bagana lyre from Ethiopia

Weisser, Stéphanie 13 April 2005 (has links)
Cette thèse décrit et analyse les caractéristiques ethnologiques, musicales et acoustiques de la lyre bagana des Amhara d’Ethiopie. L’étude des données ethnologiques montre que le bagana incarne de nombreuses valeurs de la société traditionnelle amhara. Instrument considéré comme un don de Dieu et qui fut joué par des rois, le bagana est sacré. C’est un instrument intime, dont le jeu (toujours en solo ou accompagné seulement de la voix) est considéré comme un acte de prière ou une méditation à caractère religieux. Le musicien ne se donne pas à voir, ni par une dimension spectaculaire de sa performance, ni par une dimension phatique.<p>L’analyse des accords utilisés dans le répertoire du bagana montre que cet instrument est essentiellement accordé selon deux échelles modales pentatoniques, tezeta et anchihoye. L’organisation temporelle des chants de bagana est fondée sur des pulsations discrètes très rapides. La pulsation apparente se compose d’un multiple de cette pulsation discrète qui change en fonction du motif joué, ce qui crée une sensation de rythme libre ou de rubato. Les chants de bagana sont fondés au niveau mélodique sur des unités qui se composent de paires de notes. <p>L’analyse musicale du répertoire du bagana montre que celui-ci est fondé sur la répétition variée d’un ostinato musical assez court couplé à des paroles qui changent sans se répéter (à l’exception du refrain) selon les lois de la poésie amharique orale traditionnelle. Les procédés de variations mis en œuvre sont en général assez subtils car ils doivent préserver la sensation de répétition tout en apportant des éléments nouveaux. <p>L’étude des propriétés acoustiques du bagana permet de déterminer que celle-ci produit des sons très graves (jusqu’au sol 1). Le dispositif chevalet large-obstacles modifie tous les paramètres du son. L’analyse de la facture traditionnelle montre que l’instrument est conçu pour produire un son grésillant, long et intense sans avoir recours à une caisse de résonance volumineuse. <p>Le bagana est un instrument puissant, qui permet l’établissement d’une relation directe avec des entités surnaturelles via une transe légère. La voix et l’instrument sont dans un rapport de fusion et de renforcement mutuel. Les modes phonatoires utilisés sont « breathy » et « harsh ». La présence de la voix agit comme un guide perceptif, qui intervertit le rapport fond-forme dans la perception de l’instrument. <p> / Doctorat en philosophie et lettres, Orientation histoire de l'art et archéologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Twentieth-Century Works for Textless Voice and Various Woodwinds with Three Recitals of Selected Works of Stamitz, Roussel, Albinoni, Weber, Milhaud, and Others

Gamso, Nancy M. (Nancy Margaret) 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to explore the literature for textless voice and woodwind instruments. The primary focus concerns the timbral and ensemble possibilities exploited in three twentieth-century works in which the voice is treated as an instrument i.e., without the usual preoccupation with textual meaning. An historical overview of vocal works with obbligato woodwinds and concerted works for textless voice serves as an introductory chapter. The variables of voice and instrument acoustical makeup, vocal vowel formation and instrumental voicings, volume, vibrato, resultant tones, range, and extended techniques (fluttertongue, special vibrato demands, non-vibrato, etc.) are the focus of the performance considerations for this study. Over thirty twentieth-century textless works for voice and at least one woodwind instrument were located. The three, chosen for this study represent different periods in the century, and present contrasting styles and musical merit: Aria (1931) by Jacques Ibert, Three Vocalises (1958) by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Duos I (1976) by Nancy Chance. A style and performance analysis of these works with pertinent research on the composers is presented. Appendices include an annotated bibliography of selected works for the medium, a written interview with Nancy Chance, and performance notes provided by the composer, concerning Duos I.
