Furtwangler Conducts: Palestrina / Symphony 4 Wilhelm Furtwngler - CD 717281904308

Requiring 38 soloists, chorus, and large orchestra, Hans Pfitzner's Palestrina is his most important work and a challenging opera to stage. This masterpiece weaves a fictitious tale around Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina - one in which he fears losing his creative gifts and his powerful role in society. The Bavarian State Opera and conductor Simone Young shine.

Hans Pfitzner's `musical legend' Palestrina is considered in the German-speaking countries to be one of the supreme masterpieces of music, and yet it is all but unknown elsewhere. The opera, first performed in 1917, tells the story of the composer Palestrina, his struggle to compose following the death of his wife and in the face of anti-musical decrees from the Church, and his eventual composition of the Missa Papae Marcelli, which, it is said, was dictated to him by angles and reconciled the Church to contrapuntal music. The story, set against the historical background of the Council of Trent, is an allegory of the individual artist in society, as well as a statement of Pfitzner's own beliefs about the musical climate of his time. Toller discusses the music and the dramatic structure, and presents a comprehensive introduction to the background material in the many diverse fields encompassed by the opera. OWEN TOLLER is Head of Mathematics at Merchant Taylor's School; he is a member of the London Symphony Chorus and sings with a number of other groups. His interest in Pfitzner began when he sang in the first British performance of Palestrina, a semi-professional production by Abbey Opera in London in 1979.

Palestrina's Lute is a program of music by Giovanni Perluigi da Palestrina (1525/26 - 1594), one of the most celebrated composers of all time. The creation of this concert program was inspired by the recent discovery that Palestrina was himself a lutenist and actually used the lute when composing his vocal music.

MUSIC OF THE RENAISSANCE SET Composer: Byrd Guerrero Palestrina Artist: GLORIAE DEI CANTORES

The only systematic survey of its kind! The great composers of the sixteenth century Palestrina, Victoria, des Pres, Lassus, and Morales employed a common body of techniques in their approach to ecclesiastical art music before the development of harmony. Now available from Waveland Press, this systematic survey of examples of their music stresses these similarities, thereby helping musicians to master the techniques of sixteenth-century counterpoint. Since the basis of mastery lies in the ability to understand and to write in two and three voices, the editors have included twenty-six examples of two-voice writing and twenty-seven examples of three-voice writing. Samples of four- and five-voice writing, as well as larger, multi-movement Masses, have been included for more advanced students. Identification of sources, commentary and translations are provided at the end of the collection.Title of related interest also available from Waveland Press: Gauldin, A Practical Approach to Sixteenth-Century Counterpoint (ISBN 9780881338522).

The Palestrina Choir, the Irish Literary Theatre, An Tur Gloinne, the decorative art of Loughrea Cathedral, and the Hardwicke Street Theatre all have their genesis in the vision of one man - Edward Martyn. A great patron of the arts, Martyn was also a novelist, playwright, journalist, and the first president of Sinn Fein. This biography places him in the cultural renaissance that evolved throughout his life (1859-1923) in Ireland. Brought up in south Galway to be a conservative Catholic landlord, and educated at Oxford, Martyn lived most of his life as a bohemian. He published a utopian novel in 1890, and wrote plays for the next thirty years. His Heather Field opened the second night of the Irish Literary Theatre, which he founded in 1899 with W. B. Yeats and Augusta Gregory. He often dreamed of a great choir for Dublin. When he found Vincent O'Brien producing Missa Papae Marcelli in the Caremelite Church in Clarendon Street, Dublin, he set about turning the dream into reality. This was achieved by 1902. Twelve years later, he again ventured into theatre ownership. This time it was with the radical nationalists Thomas MacDonagh and Joseph Plunkett. Together they founded the Irish Theatre in Hardwicke Street, the theatre that Micheal MacLiammoir regarded as the precursor of his own Dublin Gate. Reflecting Martyn's highly developed European sensibility, this little theatre brought many European masterpieces to Irish audiences for the first time. Augusta Gregory said of Edward Martyn that he was, for her, the bridge between the old and the new Ireland. This book tells his story against a backdrop of impending radical change, making it a compelling read. Drawing on previously unpublished, and unknown, documents, memoirs, letters, and journalism, Madeleine Humphreys reveals both the public and the private man; the man whom Maud Gonne referred to as 'a most peculiar kind of Irishman.'Ã?Â?Ã?Â?

The Renaissance era, lasting from the mid 1400s to about 1630, is one of the most distinctive and revolutionary periods in the arts, and music is no exception. Composers like Dufay, Josquin, Tallis, Victoria, Palestrina, Gabrieli, Praetorius, and Byrd were visionaries whose transformational music developed alongside the paintings and sculptures of Botticelli, da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. In this remarkable book, a companion to Performance Practices in the Classical Era and Performance Practices in the Baroque Era, noted scholar and conductor Dennis Shrock draws from primary sources to document and explain authentic performance practices of Renaissance era music in many cases eye opening and rarely employed today. Insightful chapters cover topics including vocal and instrumental sound, tempo, articulation, phrasing, ornamentation, and expression. Like a restorer uncovering the original brilliance of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, Shrock s work reveals the rich and colorful nature of this wonderful music as originally intended. Performing Renaissance Music together with Shrock s companion recording Renaissance Reborn is an insightful, colorful, and comprehensive portrait, certain to assist anyone who seeks to better understand the music of the great Renaissance composers. This book is a vital resource for any conductor, performer, or aficionado of Renaissance music.

This inspiring concert of Renaissance and Baroque masterworks includes works by Palestrina and Vivaldi. Paul McCreesh conducts the Gabrieli Consort & Players, and Trevor Pinnock conducts the The Englich Concert and the Choir or the English Concert.

Palestrina's Fourth Book of Motets was dedicated to his patron Pope Gregory XIII and published in Rome in 1584. He took as his text The Song of Songs (also known as The Song of Solomon). The 29 motets, written in an age of religious tumult and Counter-Reformation, evoke the love of Christ in devotional music of chamber-like refinement and joy. This recording also includes plainchant antiphons related to the texts, and the motets Afferentur Regi and Quam pulchri sunt gressus tui.
