Book Synopsis Messiah Continuo Part by : Leonard Van Camp
Download or read book Messiah Continuo Part written by Leonard Van Camp and published by Roger Dean Publishing Company. This book was released on 1993-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At long last, a definitive edition providing an authentic and fresh perspective on this time-honored oratorio. Since the page layout remains identical to the old Schirmer/Spicker edition, you can now replace worn copies with this new publication that has been entirely reedited. Based on Handel's autograph and conducting scores, Van Camp corrected over 100 notational and textual errors which appeared in the Spicker edition and also provided fine keyboard accs comfortably under the fingers...with the original bass line fully restored. Singers will rejoice now that the music pages are no longer cluttered with editorial footnotes and annotations. Instead, endnotes are used to provide comprehensive and practical information. Other features included the addition of text sources, breath marks, measure numbers, timings, rehearsal and performance suggestions, and much more. The pagination and layout of the vocal score match the old Spicker edition, so you can use the two of them together without confusion.

Download or read book Mr. Beethoven written by Paul Griffiths and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the 2020 Goldsmiths Prize Based on the German composer's own correspondence, this inventive, counterfactual work of historical fiction imagines Beethoven traveling to America to write an oratorio based on the Book of Job. It is a matter of historical record that in 1823 the Handel and Haydn Society of Boston (active to this day) sought to commission Beethoven to write an oratorio. The premise of Paul Griffiths’s ingenious novel is that Beethoven accepted the commission and traveled to the United States to oversee its first performance. Griffiths grants the composer a few extra years of life and, starting with his voyage across the Atlantic and entry into Boston Harbor, chronicles his adventures and misadventures in a new world in which, great man though he is, he finds himself a new man. Relying entirely on historically attested possibilities to develop the plot, Griffiths shows Beethoven learning a form of sign language, struggling to rein in the uncertain inspiration of Reverend Ballou (his designated librettist), and finding a kindred spirit in the widowed Mrs. Hill, all the while keeping his hosts guessing as to whether he will come through with his promised composition. (And just what, the reader also wonders, will this new piece by Beethoven turn out to be?) The book that emerges is an improvisation, as virtuosic as it is delicate, on a historical theme.

Download or read book Handel written by Donald Burrows and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-06-24 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new guide to Handel's most celebrated work traces the course of Messiah from Handel's initial musical response to the libretto, through the oratorio's turbulent first years to its eventual popularity with the Foundling Hospital performances. Different chapters consider the varying reception the work received in Dublin and London, the uneasy relationship between the composer and his librettist Charles Jennens and the many changes Messiah underwent through the varying needs and capacities of Handel's performers. As well as tracing the history of the work's development, the book addresses musical and technical issues such as Messiah's place in the oratorio genre, Handel's treatment of structural design, tonal relationships and English word-setting. An edited libretto elucidates the variants between the text that Handel set and the texts of the early printed word-books. Donald Burrows brings many new insights to this fascinating account of one of the favourite works of the concert hall.

Download or read book Messiah written by George Frideric Handel and published by Music Sales Amer. This book was released on 2003-12 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is good evidence that at Covent Garden Theatre in his mature years Handel directed his oratorio performances from a keyboard which controlled both a harpsichord and an organ, as desired. The present realisation has this in mind, allotting choruses to the organ and most, though not quite all of the arias to the harpsichord. Nevertheless, the harpsichord part has been deliberately conceived without strong idiomatic characteristics and where necessary it might be played (crisply and cleanly without sustaining pedal) on a piano. Without too much adaptation, which any discreet player will know how to make, it could alternatively be played on the organ. But unless a small continuo organ is available, placed close to the orchestra and soloists, a piano (failing a harpsichord) would be better for the solos than an organ situated at a distance".--T.p. verso.
