Boydell & Brewer Ltd Piety and Polyphony in Sixteenth-Century Holland:
Book SynopsisStudy of musical manuscripts from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, opening a window on piety, liturgy and musical life in late medieval society. The musical culture of the Low Countries in the early modern period was a flourishing one, apparent beyond the big cathedrals and monasteries, and reaching down to smaller parish churches. Unfortunately, very few manuscripts containing the music have survived from the period, and what we know rests to a huge extent on six music books preserved from St Peter's Church, Leiden. This book describes the manuscripts, their provenance, history and repertory, and the zeven-getijdencollege, the ecclesiastical organisations which ordered the music books, in detail. These organisations have their roots in fifteenth-century piety, founded on the initiative of individuals and townadministrators throughout Holland, principally to ensure that prayers and Masses were said for those in the afterlife. Music, both chant and polyphony, played an important part in these commemorative practices; the volume also looks at the choristers and choirmasters, and how such services were organised. ERIC JAS is a lecturer in music at the university of Utrecht.Trade ReviewThis fascinating account of the contents and function of the choirbooks of St Peter's church in Leiden has resonance far beyond the usual somewhat narrow focus of musicological studies of this period...this volume provides an important glimpse into some of the many treasures of music (as well as art) that fell victim to the religious zeal and, on occasion, the filching fingers of the Reformers of sixteenth-century Europe. As a study of the vibrancy and richness of the spiritual and musical life of the Catholic Netherlands at the time of the Reformation it is of great value. * THE CONSORT *Piety and polyphony in Sixteenth-Century Holland is a work that should appeal to anyone working in Renaissance history. . . . [A]n overall magnificent book. . . .As Jas states in his introduction, the musical life of Leiden almost certainly has many more secrets to yield to scholarly investigation, and musicologists and historians could do nothing better to prepare themselves for that journey than spending time with this admirable and impressive study. -- Graham Freeman * CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NETHERLANDIC STUDIES *Engaging reading for all who work on singing in the late medieval and early modern Low Countries and beyond. * EARLY MUSIC HISTORY *Extremely detailed and informative. * EARLY MUSIC *Table of ContentsIntroduction The zeven-getijdencolleges The seven hours in St Peter's Church at Leiden The choirbooks of St Peter's Church The repertoire of the choirbooks Epilogue Appendix: Archival Documents Appendix: Descriptions and Inventories of hte choirbooks Bibliography

Boydell & Brewer Ltd The Choral Foundation of the Chapel Royal, Dublin
Book SynopsisThe first investigation into the choral foundation of the Chapel Royal, Dublin Castle. The Chapel Royal, Dublin Castle, was the place of worship of the British monarch's representative in Ireland from 1814 until the inception of the Irish Free State in 1922. It was founded and maintained by the joint efforts of church and state, and thus its history provides valuable insights into how the relationship between religion and politics shaped Irish society and identity. The Dublin Chapel was established in imitation of the Chapel Royal of St James's Palace, London, and was served by a staff of clergy and musicians. Its musical foundation was a formal and independent entity, with its own personnel and performance traditions. Its distinctive repertoire included music from the English and Irish cathedral traditions, as well as works written by composers associated directly with the Chapel. This study investigates the Chapel's constitution, liturgy and music through an examination of previously unexplored primary material. Discussion of the circumstances of the Chapel's founding and its governance structures situates the institution in the context of the church-state relationship that existed following the Union of 1800. Further, by exploring architecture, churchmanship and musical style, O'Shea demonstrates how the Chapel was part of a wider aesthetic and liturgical tradition. The choral foundation is brought to life with accounts of the Chapel's clergy, organists, boy choristers and gentleman singers, which provide insights into Dublin's social history during a period of significant change. This book reflects on the Dublin Chapel Royal's legacy a century after its closure and offers a new perspective into a forgotten corner of Irish cultural, religious and political history.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Intellect Books Building Community Choirs in the Twenty-First
Book SynopsisThis book explores how five community choirs construct and imagine collective identity formations in Northern Ireland. Original insight is provided through ethnographic research conducted between 2013-2018. Working with five choirs in disparate locations, with different repertoires and demographics resulted in the creation of an integrated comparison that drew out both diversity and commonalities of approach revealing the malleability of choral practice. The research is framed through communities of practice, a theory of learning through engaging with other people in a common endeavour. Research findings demonstrate how choirs re-imagine identity through the manner in which they organise, rehearse, and perform. Choirs develop a distinct choral identity and ethos highlighting both the musical and social importance of the community of practice. Research suggests that choirs re-imagine multiple conceptions of identities within their groups, including gender, later age, religious faith, inclusivity and ethnic diversity, that can both influence broader structures of community in the region, and be influenced by them. Community choral practice in Northern Ireland is under-researched. As such this book provides unique insight into how members of community choirs are attempting to transcend sectarian boundaries through their practice, developing academic understandings of identity formation, community music-making and choral practice.Table of ContentsMusical Examples List of Tables List of Figures Acknowledgements Abbreviations 1.

Lexington Books The Choral-Orchestral Works of Ralph Vaughan
Book SynopsisThe Choral-Orchestral Works of Ralph Vaughan Williams: Autographs, Context, Discourse combines contextual knowledge, a musical commentary, an inventory of the holograph manuscripts, and a critical assessment of the opus to create substantial and meticulous examinations of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ choral-orchestral works. The contents include an equitable choice of pieces from the various stages in the life of the composer and an analysis of pieces from the various stages of Williams’ life. The earliest are taken from the pre-World War I years, when Vaughan Williams was constructing his identity as an academic and musician—Vexilla Regis (1894), Mass (1899), and A Sea Symphony (1910). The middle group are chosen from the interwar period—Sancta Civitas (1925), Benedicite (1929), Magnificat (1932), Five Tudor Portraits (1935), Dona nobis pacem (1936)—written after Vaughan Williams had found his mature voice. The last cluster—Thanksgiving for Victory (1944), Fantasia (Quasi Variazione) on the ‘Old 104’ Psalm Tune (1949), Sons of Light (1950), Hodie (1954), The Bridal Day/Epithalamion (1938/1957)—typify the works finished or revisited during the final years of the composer’s life, near the end of the Second World War and immediately before or after his second marriage (1953).Table of ContentsChapter One: Vexilla Regis Chapter Two: Mass Chapter Three: A Sea Symphony Chapter Four: Sancta Civitas Chapter Five: Benedicite Chapter Six: Magnificat Chapter Seven: Five Tudor Portraits Chapter Eight: Dona Nobis Pacem Chapter Nine: Thanksgiving for Victory/A Song of Thanksgiving Chapter Ten: Fantasia (Quasi Variazione) on the ‘Old 104th’ Psalm Tune Chapter Eleven: The Sons of Light Chapter Twelve: Hodie (This Day) Chapter Thirteen: The Bridal Day/Epithalamion Chapter Thirteen Appendix: The Bridal Day and Epithalamion as Set by Ralph Vaughan Williams

From wielding a pocketknife to erase inked-in passages, to carefully uncovering multiple paste-over layers, Dr. Stephen Town delivers a compelling paper trail – and a guided turn-of-the-microscope-lens mystery novel – of serious and insightful scholarship.It’s not merely the method that fascinates here—it’s the results. You’ll want scores, and a Book of Common Prayer, in hand as you trace compositional development through the autograph lens. Town’s account is more than standard analysis: it reveals the composer’s growth across his seasons of life. Wisdom and prowess culminates in the winter of RVW’s life – marriage, revisiting old friends (previous compositions), introspection, and reconciliation.A Vaughan Williams Charterhouse Fellow, Dr. Stephen Town’s autograph analyses constitute a significant contribution to the acme of musicological contributions to the life and works of Ralph Vaughan Williams. They are a-must read and engaging reading. -- Sean Vogt, Clayton State UniversityStephen Town is the perfect storm of meticulous researcher, practicing and performing vocal musician, and compelling writer. The Choral-Orchestral Works of Ralph Vaughan Williams: Autographs, Context, Discourse blends Town’s ability to capture the complete picture of what a performing musician wants to know about the history of these works, the theoretical underpinnings that matter to conductors and therefore listeners, and the unique insights of a performer passionate about music making while remaining objective about the performance material. By embracing all of Vaughan Williams’s choral-orchestral works, this study gives us insight into each individual work as informed by the complete oeuvre. As a frequent performer of these works, Town’s guide will now be my first-reach as I prepare for the next journey with Vaughan Williams. -- Tim Sharp, American Choral Directors AssociationThis magnum opus by Stephen Town represents the most significant contribution of the decade to the understanding and literature of Vaughan-Williams’s choral-orchestral works. Town takes an impressive holistic approach to the music by examining the most intricate aspects of thirteen masterworks. He provides penetrating insights into Vaughan-Williams's compositional process, primarily by using Jan LaRue’s system of style analysis. In addition, Town carefully describes the physical condition and characteristics of each manuscript. Most importantly, his thoughts and conclusions, based on his own knowledge as well as his review of the existing literature, are thorough, illuminating, and exhaustive. Finally, a wealth of footnotes at the end of each chapter provides supplementary details that are fascinating, pertinent, and extensive. This book is a definite “must-have” for all scholars and serious admirers of Vaughan-Williams and his choral-orchestral music. -- Ernest Kramer, Northwest Missouri State UniversityTable of ContentsChapter One: Vexilla RegisChapter Two: MassChapter Three: A Sea SymphonyChapter Four: Sancta CivitasChapter Five: BenediciteChapter Six: MagnificatChapter Seven: Five Tudor Portraits Chapter Eight: Dona Nobis PacemChapter Nine: Thanksgiving for Victory/A Song of Thanksgiving Chapter Ten: Fantasia (Quasi Variazione) on the ‘Old 104th’ Psalm TuneChapter Eleven: The Sons of LightChapter Twelve: Hodie (This Day)Chapter Thirteen: The Bridal Day/EpithalamionChapter Thirteen Appendix: The Bridal Day and Epithalamion as Set by Ralph Vaughan Williams

Lexington Books A New Perspective for the Use of Dialect in
Book SynopsisA New Perspective for the Use of Dialect in African American Spirituals: History, Context, and Linguistics investigates the use of the African American English (AAE) dialect in the musical genre of the spiritual. Perfect for conductors and performers alike, this book traces the history of the dialect, its use in early performance practice, and the sociolinguistic impact of the AAE dialect in the United States. Felicia Barber explores AAE’s development during the African Diaspora and its correlations with Southern States White English (SSWE) and examines the dialect’s perception and how its weaponization has impacted the performance of the genre itself. She provides a synopsis of research on the use of dialect in spirituals from the past century through the analysis of written scores, recordings, and research. She identifies common elements of early performance practice and provides the phonological and grammatical features identified in early practice. This book contains practical guide for application of her findings on ten popular spiritual texts using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It concludes with insights by leading arrangers on their use of AAE dialect as a part of the genre and practice.Table of ContentsContentsPreface: An Introduction in PurposeAcknowledgmentsForeword by Dr. Andre ThomasDefinitionsList of FiguresList of TablesChapter 1Sociolinguistics: It is a Matter of PerceptionChapter 2Acquisition of Languages Established as a Result of the African DiasporaChapter 3Establishing Performance Practice Part I: ResearchersChapter 4Establishing Performance Practice Part II: Dialect Employed in the Text Chapter 5Establishing Performance Practice Part III: Aural History – Transcriptions of Early Sound RecordingsChapter 6Trace History of Dialect in Four Specific ScoresChapter 7Research Findings Regarding Use of AAE Dialect in Spirituals: A Practical ApplicationChapter 8Moving Forward: Insight from Modern Arrangers and Next StepsBibliographyAppendicesAbout the AuthorAbout the Contributors

Barber describes the painful reality of the acquisition of African American English through the African Diaspora, while also presenting the language as “a beautiful marriage of features found in both African and English languages.” The author de-politicizes the use of dialect in song by situating it in the study of linguistics while simultaneously keeping central the inherent political and social implications for racial equality, inclusion, and diversity in our musical landscape. Barber’s approach sheds a bright light on linguistic biases and the profound impact they have on the way we hear, select, perform, and study music. This text is an invitation to all who wish to engage in thinking critically about race, language, and the African American Spiritual. -- Andrea Maas, SUNY PotsdamTable of ContentsContentsPreface: An Introduction in PurposeAcknowledgmentsForeword by Dr. Andre ThomasDefinitionsList of FiguresList of TablesChapter 1Sociolinguistics: It is a Matter of PerceptionChapter 2Acquisition of Languages Established as a Result of the African DiasporaChapter 3Establishing Performance Practice Part I: ResearchersChapter 4Establishing Performance Practice Part II: Dialect Employed in the Text Chapter 5Establishing Performance Practice Part III: Aural History – Transcriptions of Early Sound RecordingsChapter 6Trace History of Dialect in Four Specific ScoresChapter 7Research Findings Regarding Use of AAE Dialect in Spirituals: A Practical ApplicationChapter 8Moving Forward: Insight from Modern Arrangers and Next StepsBibliographyAppendicesAbout the AuthorAbout the Contributors

Rutgers University Press Black Space: Negotiating Race, Diversity, and
Book SynopsisProtests against racial injustice and anti-Blackness have swept across elite colleges and universities in recent years, exposing systemic racism and raising questions about what it means for Black students to belong at these institutions. In Black Space, Sherry L. Deckman takes us into the lives of the members of the Kuumba Singers, a Black student organization at Harvard with racially diverse members, and a self-proclaimed safe space for anyone but particularly Black students. Uniquely focusing on Black students in an elite space where they are the majority, Deckman provides a case study in how colleges and universities might reimagine safe spaces. Through rich description and sharing moments in students’ everyday lives, Deckman demonstrates the possibilities and challenges Black students face as they navigate campus culture and the refuge they find in this organization. This work illuminates ways administrators, faculty, student affairs staff, and indeed, students themselves, might productively address issues of difference and anti-Blackness for the purpose of fostering critically inclusive campus environments. Trade Review“Sherry Deckman has written an important volume about how space, place, and identity are racialized through campus life that is truly a gift. People should read, reflect, and hopefully struggle with the complexity presented in this study because of its implications for how we work towards diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education.” -- W.

Peter Lang AG The Remunerated Vernacular Singer: from Medieval
Book SynopsisThis volume studies the status and reception of the professional, semi-professional and amateur singer in England from the earliest time for which records are available, the later Middle Ages, up to the present. It also offers a principled examination of their songs and why particular songs were taken into singers' repertoires while others remained printed street ballads without ever becoming part of the oral tradition. The structure is broadly chronological, although the nature of evidence from oral and ephemeral sources makes this impossible to adhere to strictly.

Cannibal/Hannibal Publishers Collegium Vocale Gent: Philippe Herreweghe
Book SynopsisIt was in 1970 that Philippe Herreweghe founded Collegium Vocale Gent, dedicated among other things to works by Johann Sebastian Bach and German Baroque music. The ensemble brought new insights on the performance of Baroque music to bear on vocal music, and attained world fame within just a few short years. In 2022, Philippe Herreweghe marks his 75th birthday with a splendid book in which he looks back at his life and his successful career as a conductor. Photographer Stephan Vanfleteren accompanied the ensemble to the Collegium Vocale Crete Senesi summer festival in Tuscany, and has produced a set of masterful images of the ensemble and its conductor. Religiosity plays a central role in his visual interpretation. With text contributions from Joep Stapel and Luc De Voogdt on the life and work of Philippe Herreweghe and the composers who have been his greatest inspiration, plus a personal contribution by Philippe Herreweghe on Bach and death. Text in English and Dutch.

Edition Peters St. John Passion BWV 245
Book SynopsisLike many of his works, Bach also revised the St. John Passion several times. There is no final version in Bach''s hand. The revisions concern both the instrumentation and changes in the sequence of movements and, last but not least, the addition or completion of new parts. The textual basis is the biblical report of the evangelist John (John 18 and 19) with inserts from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 26:75 and 27:51-52).
