PROGRAM NOTES •...! __ ---->by Cary John Franklin

srogava COD Ie stelleAmor10 mi SOD giorinettaClaudio Monteverdilb. Cremona 1567; d. Vencle 1643)

Perhaps the least recognized as a trueEuropean master by the general listen-ing public is the musical giant, ClaudioMonteverdi. His life and work spans twoeras in musical history. Trained in thecontrapuntal style of the Renaissance,Monteverdi was a musical pioneer ingiving a new dramatic expression to thewords and forging a new era in musicalhistory. the Baroque.

Much like trasJng the stylistic devel-opment of Beethoven through his sym-phonies and string quartets. it ispossible to trace Monteverdi's develop-ment through eight books of madrigalspublished over a span of 50 years. Twof the madrigals on this program. "Sfo-

Java con Ie stelle" and "10 mi son gtovt-netta", are from Book IV published in1603. They are progressive not only interms of dramatic expression but alsoin the daring treatment of harmony."Arnor" from Lamento deUa NiDI.

(Lament of the Nymph) is published inBook VIII (1638) and representative ofthe new cantata-like setting for chorusand solo voice with basso continuo thatwas to become so important in theBaroque.

Motet V - uKomm, .Ies.,I&:omm,"BWV 229Johann Sebastian Bach(b. Eisenach 1685; d. Leipzig 1750)

The motets of J.S. Bach are true mas-terpieces of the choral repertoire."Komm. Jesu. komm" is scored foreight voices in double chorus on a Ger-man text and is generally regarded asthe most intimate of the six survivingmotets of Bach. The expression of long-ing for death in this motet is not that ofsickly sentimentalism, but as trans-formed by the sublime beauty of themusic. an expression of a sure faith andfirm conviction.

The use of continuo in this perfor-mance is supported by evidence that thechoir of St. Thomas Church in Leipzig inBach's time presented the motets not acapella but with various orchestral andkeyboard accompaniments.

The motets of Bach and their musicalbeauty were acclaimed by Mozart who

11

happened to hear a performance of one Vier GesADge. op.17of the motets in the St. Thomas Church Johannes Brahmson a journey to Prague. lb. Hamburg 1833; d. Vienna 1897)

Miss. Brevis in C. K.V. 115Wolfgang Amadeus Mozartlb. Salzburg 1756; d. Vienna 1791)

The MI.8_. Brerbl hi C. K.115 wasone of Mozart's earliest attempts atchurch music; written when he was 18years old and living in Salzburg. TheArchbishop at the time was an impa-tient ruler and disliked long masses,especially if he had to celebrate themhimseif. This preference for brevity wassatisfied by a shorter mass, the MissaBrevis. The MI.8_. Brerbl hi C is Moz-art's only mass scored for four voicesand organ alone.

Unfortunately, the work is incom-plete: it exists in the composer's ownhand only to the ninth bar of the Sane-tus. This performance uses a recon-struction completed by BernhardPaumgartner who finished the mass byarranging preexisting music of Mozart.

In 1859 the young Brahms settled inHamburg where in the same year hefounded a women's chorus. For thischorus he arranged folksongs and wroteoriginal compositions including the"Vier Ge_iUJge" (Four Songs) forfemale choir, two horns and harp.Brahms not only cherished working inthe form cultivated by Schumann andMendelssohn. but it was a source ofpleasurable companionship for him. Inthe accompaniment of two horns andharp. Brahms created a highly romanticcombination of tone colors. Of the fourchoruses of Op. 17, the final lament(Song from Fingal) based on a poem ofthe legendary Ossian is perhaps themost striking with its arresting color oftwo low horns and harp. This dirge isthe antithesis of the traditional concep-tion of a female chorus and capturesthe somber, weeping mood of Ossian'spoem.

Cantique de Jean Racine, op.llGabriel Faure(b. Parniers, Artege 1845; d. Paris 1924)

Gabriel Faure is the somewhat mis-understood and neglected French mas-ter whose compositional style spannedthe end of Romanticism to the begin-nings of the bold dissonances of atonali-ty. Faure's music is characterized by itsharmonic richness and its unmistak-able individuality.

Generally regarded as the master ofFrench song. most of his choral work isunknown (except for his lovely Requi-em) and often uninspired. One excep-tion is the Cantique de Jean Racmecored for four part chorus and organ.vhich gained Faure first prize for com-position in 1865 and graduation fromEcole Niedermeyer (music school). Itswriting is clear and concise and themood one of restrained fervor. (Thepianistic organ part has been tran-scribed for harp for this performance.)

Two Choruses of MichelangeloBuonarroti nGiovane

1. Chorus of the Ill-mated Wives2. Chorus of the Unhappy Husbands

Luigi Dallapiccola(b. Pisino d'Istrta 1904; d. Florance 1975)

Dallapiccola received his formal musi-cal training in Italy. but his true teach-ers of composition were of the VienneseSchool- Schoenberg, Webern andBerg - whom he encountered almostsolely through listening to and studyingtheir works. Dallapiccola became theprincipal pioneer of serial compositionin Italy ..

The "Two Choruses of Michelan-gelo Buonarroti H Giovane" arefrom 1933 and pre-date the develop-ment of his I2-tone technique. They arein a quasi-madrigal style not that farremoved from the great Italian masterwhom Dallopiccola studied with rever-ence, Claudio Monteverdi. Monteverdi'spreoccupation with vocal line. dramaticintensity and daring treatment of har-mony are all found in the music ofDallapiccola.
