Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries represented a true golden age in the musical history of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Northern France, lands whose sense of unified cultural identity, despite the complexity of changing national boundaries, is expressed by the designation 'The Low Countries'. The music of Ockeghem, Obrecht, Josquin des Prez, and their contemporaries was widely acclaimed for its contrapuntal skill and sublime beauty. Their influence spread to Central and Southern Europe, where many of the major figures spent the greater part of their productive lives.

Book Synopsis Great Italian and French Composers by : George T. George T. Ferris
Download or read book Great Italian and French Composers written by George T. George T. Ferris and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Netherlands share other glories than that of having nursed the most indomitable spirit of liberty known to mediteval Europe. The fine as well as the industrial arts found among this remarkable people, distinguished by Erasmus as possessed of the patientia laboris, an eager and passionate culture. The early contributions of the Low Countries to the growth of the pictorial art are well known to all. But to most it will be a revelation that the Belgian school of music was the great fructifying influence of the fifteenth century, to which Italy and Germany owe a debt not easily measured. The art of interweaving parts and that science of sound known as counterpoint were placed by this school of musical scholars and workers on a solid basis, which enabled the great composers who came after them to build their beautiful tone fabrics in forms of imperishable beauty and symmetry. For a long time most of the great Italian churches had Belgian chapel-masters, and the value of their example and teachings was vital in its relation to Italian music.

Book Synopsis Music and Musicians in the Escorial Liturgy Under the Habsburgs, 1563-1700 by : Michael John Noone
Download or read book Music and Musicians in the Escorial Liturgy Under the Habsburgs, 1563-1700 written by Michael John Noone and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the composition and performance of liturgical music in El Escorial, from its founding by Philip II in 1563 to the death of Charles II in 1700. Philip II promoted within his monastery-palace a musical foundation whose dual function as royal chapel and as monastery in the service of a Counter-Reformation monarch was unique. The study traces the ways in which music styles and practices responded to the changing functions of the institution. Perceived notions about Spanish royal musical patronage are challenged, musical manuscripts are scrutinized, biographical details of hundreds of musicians are uncovered, and musical practices are examined. Additionally, two important choral pieces are printed here for the first time.

Book Synopsis The Rise of European Music, 1380-1500 by : Reinhard Strohm
Download or read book The Rise of European Music, 1380-1500 written by Reinhard Strohm and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-17 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a detailed and comprehensive survey of music in the late middle ages and early Renaissance. By limiting its scope to the 120 years which witnessed perhaps the most dramatic expansion of our musical heritage, the book responds, in the 1990s, to the tremendous increase in specialised research and public awareness of that period. Three of the four main Parts (I, II, IV) describe the development of polyphony and its cultural contexts in many European countries, from the successors of Machaut (d. 1377) to the achievements of Josquin des Prez and his contemporaries working in Renaissance Italy around 1500. Part III, by contrast, illustrates the musical life of the institutions, and musical practices outside the realm of composed polyphony that were traditional and common all over Europe. The book proposes fresh views in each chapter, discussing dozens of musical examples adducing well-known and hitherto unknown documents, and referring to and evaluating the most recent scholarship in the field.

Download or read book Traces of Tollius written by Simon Groot and published by Uitgeverij Verloren. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joannes Tollius (c. 1550-c. 1620) was born in Amersfoort and began his career as music director of the Amersfoort Chapel of Our Lady. He flourished in Italy as maestro di capella of the cathedrals of Rieti (1583-84) and Assisi (1584-86), and as cantor tenorista in Rome (1586-88) and Padua (1588-1601). He ended his career as an exceptionally well-paid singer in the court chapel of Christian IV in Copenhagen (1601-03). In 1590, a collection of three-part motets appeared under the surprising title Motecta de dignitate et moribus sacerdotum (motets about the dignity and morals of priests), presumably intended as a denunciation of the priests who had had him imprisoned in Assisi on charge of heresy, a charge of which Tollius was later acquitted. In 1591, two collections of five-part motets appeared in quick succession. In these motets, Tollius uses techniques of word painting that go significantly further than those used by his contemporaries in sacred music. In 1597, an extended and revised reprint appeared of the a collection of six-part madrigals. In his madrigals, Tollius shows himself to be a skilled composer who is in keeping with the madrigal output of his Italian contemporaries. In 1598, two new madrigals by Tollius appeared in collections of works by Paduan masters, including such great names as Lodovico Viadana and Costanzo Porta. Tollius is unconventional in his compositions. He combines works with an archaic character, with works that fit in prevailing compositional trends, but he also experiments with means that go far beyond what his contemporaries allowed themselves. His oeuvre may be small, but its diversity and quality makes it notable. During his life, Tollius regularly came into conflict with his employers. He was often fined and sometimes even imprisoned. Contemporary accounts of Tollius are contradictory when it comes to his personality, but they are unanimous in recognising that he was a skilled musician.
Book Synopsis Composers' Intentions? by : Andrew Parrott
Download or read book Composers' Intentions? written by Andrew Parrott and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2015 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises selected essays concerning musical performance practice by conductor Andrew Parrott, an acknowledged expert in the field. Spanning some thirty-five years of Parrott's career as both performer and researcher, the volume brings together seminal writings on Monteverdi, Purcell and J. S. Bach, as well as an expanded version of a major new article from 2015. With a focus on vocal and choral music, the book covers a broad timespan (from the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries) and multifarious approaches (from extensive scholarly articles to radio broadcasts). Authoritative, provocative and readable, Parrott's writing is packed with detailed information of value to scholars, performers, students and curious listeners alike. At the same time, the book sheds light on key topics of historically informed performance from the past four decades. ANDREW PARROTT, conductor, is perhaps best known for his many pioneering recordings of pre-classical repertory from Machaut to Handel, principally for EMI with the London-based Taverner Consort, Choir and Players, which he founded in 1973. Recent CDs include his reconstruction of Bach's 'lost' Trauer-Music for Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen (released in 2011) and a 'thoroughly researched and re-imagined' account of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo (2013). He is also co-editor of The New Oxford Book of Carols (1992) and author of The Essential Bach Choir (The Boydell Press, 2000).
Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Women Composers by : Matthew Head
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Women Composers written by Matthew Head and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond narratives of female suppression, and exploring the critical potential of a diverse, distinguished repertoire, this Companion transforms received understanding of women composers. Organised thematically, and ranging beyond elite, Western genres, it explores the work of diverse female composers from medieval to modern times, besides the familiar headline names. The book's prologue traces the development of scholarship on women composers over the past five decades and the category of 'woman composer' itself. The chapters that follow reveal scenes of flourishing creativity, technical innovation, and (often fleeting) recognition, challenging long-held notions around invisibility and neglect and dismissing clichés about women composers and their work. Leading scholars trace shifting ideas about composers and compositional processes, contributing to a wider understanding of how composers have functioned in history and making this volume essential reading for all students of musical history. In an epilogue, three contemporary composers reflect on their careers and identities.
