Book Description
For more than three decades Richard Charteris has researched European music, sources and collections, focusing particularly on late Renaissance England, Germany and Italy. This group of essays, many concerning previously unknown or unexplored works and materials, covers the 16th and early to mid 17th centuries. The studies involve variously 'new' compositions, music manuscripts and editions, and documents that relate to figures such as the Italians Giovanni Gabrieli, Claudio Monteverdi and Alfonso Ferrabosco the Elder, the Germans Hans Leo Hassler and Adam Gumpelzhaimer, as well as the Englishmen John Coprario, John Dowland, John Jenkins, Henry Lawes, William Lawes, Peter Philips, and the French composer Marin Marais. In addition, Charteris elucidates contemporary performance practice in relation to works by Gabrieli, investigates printed music editions that originated from the Church of St Anna, Augsburg, and evaluates materials in collections, inlcuding ones in Berlin, Hamburg, Kraków, London, Regensburg and Warsaw.

Life and Works of Giovanni Gabrieli
Giovanni Gabrieli
Author: Rodolfo Baroncini
Publisher: Brepols Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Knowledge and debate in the field of sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Venetian music has greatly benefitted in recent decades from studies of major institutions, composers, repertories and sources, as also from investigations of the quantitative aspects of musical life in what was one of the largest, richest and most commercially oriented cities on the Italian peninsula: the Venetian musical phenomenon includes, on the one hand, regular or sporadic musical activities in the city's many churches and private palaces (activities which provided significant earnings for large numbers of musicians, whether or not salaried members of the ducal cappella) and, on the other, the auxiliary trades of music printing and instrument making. The transmission of the musical repertories has also received notable attention: in particular, the contemporary and later reception of Venetian musical repertories in different political, linguistic and/or confessional areas. This collection of essays on the life, times and works of a composer who ranks among the most outstanding musical personalities of his day variously unites these strands in an albeit partial attempt to interpret Giovanni Gabrieli's output and activities in their Venetian context and, at the same time, cast light on their broader historiographical significance: on the one hand Gabrieli as point of synthesis of a complex Venetian musical tradition, on the other his interaction with and impact on contemporary musical life, his influence on later generations of composers both at home and abroad, the rediscovery of his achievements by nineteenth- and twentieth-century historians and performers, the revisitations of his music by twentieth-century composers.--Adapted from Introduction, page 1.

Giovanni Gabrieli and the Music of the Venetian High Renaissance
Author: Denis Arnold
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
"'Giovanni Gabrieli, ye gods, what a man.' Thus Heinrich Schütz recalled his teacher, the greatest of that school of Venetian composers which flourished in the later Renaissance. Denis Arnold's new study, based on prolonged research in the Venetian archives, attempts a fresh appraisal of Gabrieli's music and pays particular attention to the social requirements which were of such importance in the Venice of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The book also devotes considerable space to Gabrieli's contemporaries--his uncle Andrea Gabrieli, Croce, Merulo, Bassano, and others--which sheds much light on a major school of composition."--Dust jacket.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
This book offers an overview of all facets of musical life in sixteenth-century Venice.

Supported by a generous collection of archival, literary, and iconographical sources, it treats both ceremonial life in the Serenissima and private forms of patronage. The Companion also addresses the dense web of musical activity (from chapel masters and singers to instrumentalists and instrument makers to music printers and theorists) and the rich variety of styles and musical genres (the frottola, the madrigal, motets and masses, instrumental music, polychoral music, Venetian-language polyphony), broadening the geographical perspective beyond the Veneto to Istria and Dalmatia. Contributors are Rodolfo Baroncini, Sherri Bishop, Bonnie J. Blackburn, David Bryant, Ivano Cavallini, Paolo Da Col, Daniel Donnelly, Rebecca Edwards, Iain Fenlon, Jonathan Glixon, Don Harrán (†), Jeffrey Kurtzman, Giulio M. Ongaro, Francesco Passadore, Elena Quaranta, Katelijne Schiltz, Eleanor Selfridge-Field, and Giovanni Zanovello.

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Early Music History is devoted to the study of music from the early Middle Ages to the end of the seventeenth century.

The scope is exceptionally broad and includes manuscript studies, textual criticism, iconography, studies of the relationship between words and music and the relationship between music and society. Articles in volume three include: The Venetian privilege and music-printing in the sixteenth century; Francesco Landini and the Florentine cultural elite; and the Beneventan apostrophus in south Italian notation, AD 1000-1100.
