Renaissance
Subcollection: Choral

From the time of Christianity’s introduction into Europe until the end of the first millennium, apocalyptic images of the End of Time and the Last Judgement were widespread, both in texts and in the visual arts. In Sequentia’s new program, ‘Fragments for the End of Time,’ Sequentia explore the musical world of these powerful texts. The instruments used in this concert include reconstructions of Germanic lyres, an early medieval triangular harp, and copies of medieval transverse flutes.

Early Music

In order to illustrate their borderless talents, Fortuna follows Ciconia and Dufay on this recording on their journey through the Flemish and Italian musical landscape of the late medieval times: Early Music in Context.

Chansons

Just as Dutch painters in the Golden Age were attracted by the Italian light and went to work in Rome, many composers from the Low Countries also made their way over the Alps in search of inspiration. This Italian dream resulted in the creation of brilliant music by two such pioneers, Johannes Ciconia and Guillaume Dufay. Their ability to seemingly effortlessly meld the achievements of Flemish, French, English and Italian music into a new style created a new musical language whose sound crossed over many geographic borders.

Ciconia was educated in Luik, which had a rich musical culture in the late Middle Ages; and he worked in Padua from around 1402 until his death. By that time, he had become a real Italian composer, despite his Northern roots and education: in his elegant ballade Gli atti col dançar, one can hear clearly how Ciconia had mastered the melodic souplesse of the Italian Trecento composers such as Landini. His dramatic Ligiadra donna - with a contratenor line composed by his colleague composer Matteo da Perugia - is written in the typical Northern Italian style of the giustiniana. But nowhere in his work does Ciconia merely follow stylistic trends; on the contrary, his unique and characteristic style inspired a generation of composers who followed him - among them Dufay.

No single 15th Century composer has left such an extensive and varied oeuvre as Guillaume Dufay, who was considered to be the greatest composer of his time, even in his own lifetime. He was educated in Kamerijk (Cambrai). While he was still young, he began travelling extensively for his work, to the Council of Constance for example, and he began working for various Italian patrons. These facts give Dufay's career and work a decidedly "international" allure, but the musical influences of his birthplace are still very recognizable in some of his works. The typically Northern drinking and New Year's songs such as Cheulz qui volent from MS Leiden 2720 or Die mey so lieflic by Thomas Fabri, clearly inspired Dufay to create rondeaux such as Adieu ces bons vins en Ce jour de l'an. While the original songs don't aspire to be much more than a drinking song or a round dance, Dufay manages with his songs to lift the genre to a much higher artistic level, without losing the playfulness and spontaneity of the original forms. His unorthodox application of existing material and traditional compositional techniques make him one of the most inventive composers of the 15th Century - Dufay wrote music that his contemporaries wouldn't have dared to dream of.

Medieval Period

Selections from The Song Book of Anna von Köln

This collection of devotional songs in Latin and the vernacular (indeed, in several medieval dialects) was compiled about 1500 in Cologne, an example of devotio moderna, the late-medieval movement to adopt a lifestyle midway between secular society and the religious orders. The title of the disc, “the rose of Jericho,” refers to a Macaronic song in low German and Latin honoring the Blessed Virgin, who was invariably venerated while her Son was worshipped. A few of these songs have appeared in collections of the LP era. Konrad Ruhland’s group sang “Jure plaudant omnia,” included here. Several other songs recorded in that era are not duplicated here, but this seems to be the first focused collection drawn from this source.

Late-medieval collections of anonymous vocal music of this type have been largely overlooked in music history courses and texts in favor of identifiable composers. Reinhard Strohm, in The Rise of European Music, 1380-1500 (Cambridge, 1993), made a major breakthrough in devoting the entire Part 3 of his four-part book to the subject. The Songbook of Anna of Cologne (D-B 8o 280) has been edited by Salmen and Koepp (Schwann, 1954), so it should be accessible at least to performers and scholars. Even so, Strohm barely mentions the collection in a paragraph devoted to 15th-century compilations of this type, next to the slightly earlier Wienhäuser Liederbuch, which was given a whole disc on a Psallite LP of 1976.

The 16 songs from this source that are recorded here make a delightful program. All are sung by the women’s group of 11 singers and five players, while four instrumental selections from the Glogauer and Locheimer songbooks are inserted at intervals. Some of the songs are sung solo, and some are lightly accompanied on period instruments. The acoustics of the chapel cast a warm glow around the voices. Anonymity is a burden, as evident from the attention devoted to composers (Perotinus) and works (the “Farewell” symphony of Haydn) not so disabled. Anyone who comes across this disc is going to be entranced by the unexpected pleasure that it affords. Give it a chance and you’ll turn back to it again and again. The last time I was so unexpectedly delighted was on hearing “Ninna Nanna” by Montserrat Figueras (26:6). That’s the kind of disc it is.

Salve festa dies - Musik der Reformationszeit

Salve festa dies - Musik der Reformationszeit
ID: RK9501
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection:
Renaissance
Subcollection: Choral

Mit dieser CD stellt das Bläser Collegium Leipzig Musik aus den Jahrzehnten um 1500 vor, einer Zeit, in der Deutschland von Humanismus und Reformation geprägt war. Aber nicht das, was man gemeinhin unter »Musik der Reformationszeit« versteht - den Evangelischen Choral und seine Vertonung durch die ersten Komponisten evangelischer Kirchenmusik - steht im Zentrum dieser Aufnahme, sondern ihre traditionellen Wurzeln und die neuen Aspekte der Instrumentalmusik jener Zeit. So findet man neben Choralsätzen in deutscher und lateinischer Sprache auch Tanzmusik und weltliche Lieder. Gespielt werden die Stücke auf Zinken und Posaunen, einem der beliebtesten Instrumentalensembles des 16. Jahrhunderts, das abwechslungsreich ergänzt wird durch Schalmei und Trommel. Vokal ausgeführte Choralmelodien verbinden sich mit den Bläserstimmen zu einem faszinierenden Gesamtklang.

World premiere recording

„INCESSAMENT“ - hinter diesem geheimnisvollen Titel verbirgt sich ein spannendes CD-Programm, in dessen Zentrum die Weltersteinspielung der „Missa Incessament“ von Pierre de la Rue (c. 1452-1518) steht. Ergänzt wird diese Messe durch Gregorianik aus dem Moosburger Graduale.

Den Rahmen des Programms bilden zwei Kompositionen de la Rues, die mit der Messe in engem Zusammenhang stehen: sein französisches Lied „Incessament“, auf dessen Grundlage er seine Missa Incessament komponierte, und dessen Umwandlung in eine lateinische Motette für das protestantische Deutschland: „Sic deus dilexit“. Dieses Programm wurde konzipiert unter Mitarbeit des führenden de la Rue-Forschers J. Evan Kreider und des Gregorianik-Experten Godehard Joppich. Aufgenommen wurde diese CD in der wunderbaren Basilika des Benediktinerklosters Wechselburg/Mitteldeutschland, die der Musik die passende Aura verleiht.

amarcord, 1992 von ehemaligen Mitgliedern des Leipziger Thomanerchores gegründet, zählt inzwischen zu den herausragenden Repräsentanten der Musikstadt Leipzig und weltweit zu den führenden Vokalensembles.

The Delightful Companion - Jan Devlieger -Marcel Ketels

The Delightful Companion - Jan Devlieger -Marcel Ketels
ID: ACDBE070-2
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection:
Renaissance
Subcollection: Flute

At the end of the seventeenth century, Delightful, Genteel and Most Pleasant were used to describe the company
of the Pipe Recorder or Commen Flute in many English manuals with solo music for lovers of the recorder. What can increase musical pleasure more than playing the beloved recorder? Playing the recorder with someone very dear to you. So The Delightful Companion has a double meaning for me …
For this CD, we chose duets that were originally composed for two recorders and music that mentions the recorder as one of the possible instruments. The CD opens with a piece for only two recorders, An Italian Ground from The Delightful Companion (Londen, 1686). Its recurring bass theme was usually richly elaborated, so that, paradoxically, the abbreviation arr. (arrangement) features in the CD’s table of contents.
