Book excerpt: Using the music of Palestrina as its basis, the book describes as lucidly and concisely as possible the stylistic features of 16th-century vocal music in the main forms of motet and mass. While due emphasis is laid upon contrapuntal textures, such matters as harmony and cadence are not neglected. There are a number of music examples and graded exercises, which bring the student into direct contact with the music discussed.

Download or read book PALESTRINA FOR ALL written by Jonathan Boswell and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book explores the music of the great composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594), its surrounding history and still unfolding potential. It follows the music from love poetry, through changing events in the Church Year, to the composer's record-breaking 104 Mass settings, uncovering many neglected treasures on the way. Its approach is accessible and largely non-technical. There is a focus on relationships with text, belief and ceremony, the individual melodic lines, and the richly interweaving voice parts (cantus, alto, tenor, bass). Not least, the author explores diverse ways - emotional, devotional, imaginative - of enjoying and responding to the music.Here is music which excels in differentiation, equality, consonance and cordiality between the voice parts. Much of it can be interpreted as symbolising ideal community and core beliefs about the eternal God There is a striking avoidance of tight metricality, mighty forces, tumult or disjunction. The music's leading values are those of clarity, balance, affectionate concord and graceful flowingness.{WHAT SOME LEADING PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK}'Historian Jonathan Boswell has brought a lifetime's fascination with the life and music of Palestrina to bear in a new book, the first accessible general guide in English to appear for several decades' (Early Music Today, news, June 2019).'Worthy of its title ... well-chosen examples ... in every way a suitable introduction for music lovers of all descriptions' (Tamesis).'Anyone interested in exploring Palestrina should start with this account ... I very much applaud the author' (Peter Phillips, The Tallis Scholars).'So refreshing, so personal, so illuminating ... I loved this book' (Harry Christophers, The Sixteen).'A very valuable contribution to the field, and it will immensely enrich all those who engage with it' (Chiara Bertoglio, Professor of Musicology, University of Bologna).'Admirably illuminates the fervent response of a great musical poet to the emotion and theology of the sacred texts and liturgy'(Patrick Russill, Royal College of Music and The London Oratory).'A much needed book ... it's first class' (Andrew Carwood, St Paul's Cathedral and The Cardinall's Musick).{CHAPTER HEADINGS, 176 pages}1 - Prince of music ?2 - Palestrina in his own time3 - Love poetry and devotional diversities4 - Sorrow, suffering, hope and glory5 - A music of amity and ideal community6 - 'The quality of mercy': Kyrie eleison7 - Gloria and Credo8 - Controversies, choirs, conductors9 - Sounding the mystery: Sanctus and Benedictus10 - Peace and eternity: Agnus Dei Select bibliographyIndex of works referred toProduct description About the AuthorJonathan Boswell is a general historian whose projects have repeatedly defied narrow specialisation.

Download or read book Palestrina and the German Romantic Imagination written by James Garratt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-07-18 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the reception of Palestrina, this bold interdisciplinary study explains how and why the works of a sixteenth-century composer came to be viewed as a paradigm for modern church music. It explores the diverse ways in which later composers responded to his works and style, and expounds a provocative model for interpreting compositional historicism. In addition to presenting insights into the works of Bruckner, Mendelssohn and Liszt, the book offers fresh perspectives on the institutional, aesthetic and ideological frameworks sustaining the cultivation of choral music in this period. This publication provides an overview and analysis of the relation between the Palestrina revival and nineteenth-century composition and it demonstrates that the Palestrina revival was just as significant for nineteenth-century culture as parallel movements in the other arts, such as the Gothic revival.

Book excerpt: "The last great work of the age of reason, the final instance when all human knowledge could be presented with a single point of view ... Unabashed optimism, and unabashed racism, pervades many entries in the 11th, and provide its defining characteristics ... Despite its occasional ugliness, the reputation of the 11th persists today because of the staggering depth of knowledge contained with its volumes. It is especially strong in its biographical entries. These delve deeply into the history of men and women prominent in their eras who have since been largely forgotten - except by the historians, scholars"-- The Guardian, https://www.theguardian.com/books/booksblog/2012/apr/10/encyclopedia-britannica-11th-edition.

Download or read book Style and Music written by Leonard B. Meyer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leonard Meyer proposes a theory of style and style change that relates the choices made by composers to the constraints of psychology, cultural context, and musical traditions. He explores why, out of the abundance of compositional possibilities, composers choose to replicate some patterns and neglect others. Meyer devotes the latter part of his book to a sketch-history of nineteenth-century music. He shows explicitly how the beliefs and attitudes of Romanticism influenced the choices of composers from Beethoven to Mahler and into our own time. "A monumental work. . . . Most authors concede the relation of music to its cultural milieu, but few have probed so deeply in demonstrating this interaction."—Choice "Probes the foundations of musical research precisely at the joints where theory and history fold into one another."—Kevin Korsyn, Journal of American Musicological Society "A remarkably rich and multifaceted, yet unified argument. . . . No one else could have brought off this immense project with anything like Meyer's command."—Robert P. Morgan, Music Perception "Anyone who attempts to deal with Romanticism in scholarly depth must bring to the task not only musical and historical expertise but unquenchable optimism. Because Leonard B. Meyer has those qualities in abundance, he has been able to offer fresh insight into the Romantic concept."—Donal Henahan, New York Times

Download or read book An Introduction to the Technique of Palestrina written by Herbert Kennedy Andrews and published by London, Novello. This book was released on 1958 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Palestrina's music is justly regarded as exemplifying the most perfect and consistent technique of sixteenth-century ecclesiastical polyphony. It is for this reason that a study of his style has come to be considered as a necessary part of the training of serious musicians. Not only is the technique well-nigh perfect in itself, but it is also the vehicle of expression for some of the noblest music of the great age of vocal counterpoint. This book investigates the various technical processes as they appear in the music itself. For that reason copious music examples have been given, and the reader is asked to take very little 'theory' on trust; he is invited to examine for himself what Palestrina did or did not do. The book is, on the one hand, more specialized than Morris' Contrapuntal Technique; its conclusions are therefore easier to grasp, because less subject to exceptions and qualifications. On the other hand, it is wider in scope than Jeppesen's Palestrina and the Dissonance; in particular, it includes a thorough and sensitive analysis of Palestrina's methods of form and design, a subject that has hitherto been much neglected. Dr. Andrews has given many years to the study and teaching of Palestrina's style at Oxford, and to the actual performance of the music during the time when he was in charge of the music at New College. His knowledge of the subject is not confined to academic dissection of technical matters; he is fully aware of the aesthetic and expressive powers of the music, which, as he points out, can only be fully realized in its performance in the service of the church."--Dust jacket.
