DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe concept of stylus phantasticus (orfantastic style ) as it was expressed in free keyboard music of the north German Baroque forms the focus of this book. Exploring both the theoretical background to the style and its application by composers and performers, Paul Collins surveys the development of Athanasius Kircher‘s original concept and its influence on music theorists such as Brossard, Janovka, Mattheson, and Walther. Turning specifically to fantasist composers of keyboard works, the book examines the keyboard toccatas of Merulo, Fresobaldi, Rossi and Froberger and their influence on north German organists Tunder, Weckmann, Reincken, Buxtehude, Bruhns, Lubeck, Bohm, and Leyding. The free keyboard music of this distinguished group highlights the intriguing relationship at this time between composition and performance, the concept of fantasy, and the understanding of originality and individuality in seventeenth-century culture.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEarly Music History is devoted to the study of music from the early Middle Ages to the end of the seventeenth century. It demands the highest standards of scholarship from its contributors, all of whom are leading academics in their fields. It gives preference to studies pursuing interdisciplinary approaches and to those developing novel methodological ideas. 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 fifteen include: Costanzo Festa's Gradus ad Parnassum; Scenes from the life of Silvia Galiarti Manni, a seventeenth-century virtuosa; Galeazzo Maria Sforza and musical patronage in Milan: Compere, Weerbeke and Josquin.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEnharmonic instruments and music 1470-1900 is the first complete look at the instruments provided with more than the standard twelve keys per octave, traditionally called "enharmonic": a fascinating but still obscure topic, which since the Renaissance has been investigated by practical musicians, theoreticians, instrument makers, acousticians, mathematicians, and philosophers. These instruments, as conceived from the 15th to 19th centuries, are divided into two types: open-chain (i.e. harmonically "non circulating", adopting just or meantone intonation) and closed-chain (i.e. "circulating", based on different types of Equal-Tempered System). The attached CD--which contains a good part of the surviving rare compositions written for the said systems, digitally mounted--will also provide the reader with concrete acoustic examples of the micro-intervals for which a written text can offer only arithmetical ratios. Also examined are: (1) problems of performance practice relating to the intonation of violins, woodwinds, and singers; (2) attempts to reintroduce the ancient Greek genera and tonoi, all carried out in the first half of the 17th century; (3) repeated proposals to extend "just intonation" to harmonic numbers beyond those of Zarlino's Senario, with the consequent introduction of the new enharmonic intervals produced by Septimal and Undecimal Harmonies; (4) early mathematical divisions of the octave in 'n' equal parts [Publisher description]
