Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dieser Band behandelt ein zentrales Moment der Entwicklung in der italienischen Musik um 1600, das gleichermaßen Geschichte des Komponierens, Notierens und der Aufführungspraxis betrifft: die Integration von Akkordinstrumenten in die musikalische Produktion (im weitesten Sinn). Dabei steht das Phänomen des Generalbasses im Mittelpunkt, das nicht nur zahlreiche aufführungspraktische, sondern auch diverse historiographische Fragen aufwirft. So ist der Generalbass nur eine Spielart innerhalb eines breiten Spektrums musikalischer Praktiekn, er resultiert aus vielfältigen historischen Voraussetzungen und steht in Wechselwirkung mit dem Komponieren, der (theoretischen) Konzeption des mehrstimmigen Satzes, aber auch dem musikkulturellen Kontext des späten 16. und frühen 17. Jahrhunderts.

Book Synopsis Instrumentalists and Renaissance Culture, 1420–1600 by : Victor Coelho
Download or read book Instrumentalists and Renaissance Culture, 1420–1600 written by Victor Coelho and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative and multi-layered study of the music and culture of Renaissance instrumentalists spans the early institutionalization of instrumental music from c.1420 to the rise of the basso continuo and newer roles for instrumentalists around 1600. Employing a broad cultural narrative interwoven with detailed case studies, close readings of eighteen essential musical sources, and analysis of musical images, Victor Coelho and Keith Polk show that instrumental music formed a vital and dynamic element in the artistic landscape, from rote function to creative fantasy. Instrumentalists occupied a central role in courtly ceremonies and private social rituals during the Renaissance, and banquets, dances, processions, religious celebrations and weddings all required their participation, regardless of social class. Instrumental genres were highly diverse artistic creations, from polyphonic repertories revealing knowledge of notated styles, to improvisation and flexible practices. Understanding the contributions of instrumentalists is essential for any accurate assessment of Renaissance culture.
Book Synopsis Meantone Temperaments on Lutes and Viols by : David Dolata
Download or read book Meantone Temperaments on Lutes and Viols written by David Dolata and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-04 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for musicians by a musician, Meantone Temperaments on Lutes and Viols demystifies tuning systems by providing the basic information, historical context, and practical advice necessary to easily achieve more satisfying tuning results on fretted instruments. Despite the overwhelming organological evidence that many of the finest lutenists, vihuelists, and viola da gamba players in the Renaissance and Baroque eras tuned their instruments in one of the meantone temperaments, most modern early instrument players today still tune to equal temperament. In this handbook richly supplemented with figures, diagrams, and music examples, historical performers will discover why temperaments are necessary and how they work, descriptions of a variety of temperaments, and their application on fretted instruments. This technical book provides downloadable audio tracks and other tools for fretted instrument players to achieve more stable consonances, colorful dissonances, and harmonic progressions that vividly propel the music forward.
Book Synopsis The Guitar and Its Music by : James Tyler
Download or read book The Guitar and Its Music written by James Tyler and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than twenty years ago James Tyler wrote a modest introduction to the history, repertory, and playing techniques of the four- and five-course guitar. Entitled The Early Guitar: A History and Handbook (OUP 1980), this work proved valuable and enlightening not only to performers and scholarsof Renaissance and Baroque guitar and lute music but also to classical guitarists. This new book, written in collaboration with Paul Sparks (their previous book for OUP, The Early Mandolin, appeared in 1989), presents new ideas and research on the history and development of the guitar and its musicfrom the Renaissance to the dawn of the Classical era.Tyler's systematic study of the two main guitar types found between about 1550 and 1750 focuses principally on what the sources of the music (published and manuscript) and the writings of contemporary theorists reveal about the nature of the instruments and their roles in the music making of theperiod. The annotated lists of primary sources, previously published in The Early Guitar but now revised and expanded, constitute the most comprehensive bibliography of Baroque guitar music to date. His appendices of performance practice information should also prove indispensable to performers andscholars alike.Paul Sparks also breaks new ground, offering an extensive study of a period in the guitar's history--notably c.1759-c.1800--which the standard histories usually dismiss in a few short paragraphs. Far from being a dormant instrument at this time, the guitar is shown to have been central tomusic-making in France, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, and South America. Sparks provides a wealth of information about players, composers, instruments, and surviving compositions from this neglected but important period, and he examines how the five-course guitar gradually gave way to the six-stringinstrument, a process that occurred in very different ways (and at different times) in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Britain.

Download or read book Solomone Rossi written by Don Harrán and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salamone Rossi (c.1570-c.1627) occupies a unique place in Renaissance music culture: he was the earliest outstanding Jewish composer to work in the European art music tradition. Working for the Gonzaga dukes in Mantua, yet remaining faithful to his own religious community, Rossi has a biography fraught with difficult and often exciting questions of socio-cultural order. How Rossi solved, or appears to have solved, the problem of conflicting interests is a subject worthy of inquiry, not only because we want to know more about Rossi, but also because Rossi can stand as a paradigm for other Jewish figures who, contemporary with him, moved between different cultures.
Book Synopsis The Monteverdi Vespers of 1610 : Music, Context, Performance by : Jeffrey Kurtzman
Download or read book The Monteverdi Vespers of 1610 : Music, Context, Performance written by Jeffrey Kurtzman and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2000-01-06 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a thorough-going study of Monteverdi's Vespers, the single most significant and most widely known musical print from before the time of J.S. Bach. The author examines Monteverdi's Vespers from multiple perspectives, combining his own research with all that is known and thought of the Vespers by other scholars. The historical origin as well as the musical and liturgical context of the Vespers are surveyed; similarly the controversial historiography of the Vespers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is scrutinized and evaluated. A series of analytical chapters attempt to clarify Monteverdi's compositional process and the relationship between music and text in the light of recent research on modal and tonal aspects of early seventeenth century music. The final section is devoted to thirteen chapters investigating performance practice issues of the early seventeenth century and their application to the Vespers, including general and specific recommendations for performance where appropriate. The book concludes with a series of informational appendices, including the psalm cursus for Vespers of all major feasts in the liturgical calendar, texts, and structural outlines for the Vespers compositions based on a cantus firmus, an analytical discography, and bibliographies of seventeenth-century musical and theoretical sources.
