Book Synopsis Girolamo Frescobaldi by : Frederick Hammond
Download or read book Girolamo Frescobaldi written by Frederick Hammond and published by Cambridge, Mass. : Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was a prodigious virtuoso - it is said that his first organ recital at St. Peter's in Rome attracted an audience of 30,000 - and he was unquestionably the most important Italian composer of keyboard music before Bach. Baroque in every sense of the word - flamboyant, elaborate, richly ornamented, sometimes bizarre - his music was tremendously influential on composers of his own day and on musicians of future generations. The author's vivid description of Girolamo Frescobaldi's career adds up to a picture of musical life in seventeenth-century Italy: the prevalence of wealthy patrons; the kinds of church music required for services in this period; the private musical entertainments common in palaces and villas; the instruments available to Frescobaldi in the churches and residences where he played and supervised performances. Hammond discusses antecedents and sources of Frescobaldi's style, the forms he used, his thematic devices and harmonic and contrapuntal techniques. A final chapter tackles performance questions. Here is the first full-length book on Girolamo Frescobaldi in English, and the most complete in any language.

Book Synopsis Interpreting Historical Keyboard Music by : Andrew Woolley
Download or read book Interpreting Historical Keyboard Music written by Andrew Woolley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in the field of keyboard studies, especially when intimately connected with issues of performance, is often concerned with the immediate working environments and practices of musicians of the past. An important pedagogical tool, the keyboard has served as the ’workbench’ of countless musicians over the centuries. In the process it has shaped the ways in which many historical musicians achieved their aspirations and went about meeting creative challenges. In recent decades interest has turned towards a contextualized understanding of creative processes in music, and keyboard studies appears well placed to contribute to the exploration of this wider concern. The nineteen essays collected here encompass the range of research in the field, bringing together contributions from performers, organologists and music historians. Questions relevant to issues of creative practice in various historical contexts, and of interpretative issues faced today, form a guiding thread. Its scope is wide-ranging, with contributions covering the mid-sixteenth to early twentieth century. It is also inclusive, encompassing the diverse range of approaches to the field of contemporary keyboard studies. Collectively the essays form a survey of the ways in which the study of keyboard performance can enrich our understanding of musical life in a given period.

Book Synopsis Contrapuntal Strategies in the Music of Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643) by : Aaron Sunstein
Download or read book Contrapuntal Strategies in the Music of Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643) written by Aaron Sunstein and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Girolamo Frescobaldi was the first influential composer to concentrate on keyboard music. Although Frescobaldi's life and compositions have been the focus of significant historical research, there are few analyses of his music. The present dissertation examines the motivic, contrapuntal, and formal design of six contrasting pieces written throughout Frescobaldi's career. At the measure by measure level, motivic and rhythmic play in Frescobaldi's music creates moments where listener expectations are thwarted or fulfilled in unexpected ways. In the context of entire compositions, motivic variation, broadly defined, gives shape and strategy to the progression of the piece. Frescobaldi imagined diverse ways of sustaining interest and creating coherence in the instrumental genres that he cultivated. While motivic combination and variation is the common thread in Frescobaldi's music, an exploration of other musical parameters that is specific to each piece complements the motivic plot and makes possible the development of extended musical forms. Through close analysis of six pieces by Frescobaldi, this dissertation demonstrates how Frescobaldi's compositional creativity in terms of contrapuntal, motivic, and variation strategies resulted in the redefinition of existing musical genres as well as the creation of new ones. The analyses precede in chronological order according to when the pieces were published. The pieces are selected from a cross section of Frescobaldi's publications spanning the composer's entire period of compositional activity. Some pieces are from collections that are considered primarily contrapuntal (Fantasie, Capricci) whereas others are more homophonic or figured bass grounded (Cento Partite, Toccata, Canzona). After an introduction to the analyses in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 addresses S'io miro in te from the madrigal book of 1608. Chapter 3 focuses on Fantasia Seconda, from the composer's other 1608 publication, the keyboard Fantasie. Chapter 4 analyzes Toccata Duodecima from the first book of toccatas (1615). The analysis in Chapter 5 is of the Capriccio Terzo sopra il Cucho from the publication of 1624. Chapter 6 analyzes Canzona Quinta à 3, due Canti e Basso (1635) and Chapter 7 the Cento Partite sopra Passacagli from 1637.
