Download The Cambridge History of Eighteenth-Century Music Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The eighteenth century arguably boasts a more remarkable group of significant musical figures, and a more engaging combination of genres, styles and aesthetic orientations than any century before or since, yet huge swathes of its musical activity remain under-appreciated. This History provides a comprehensive survey of eighteenth-century music, examining little-known repertories, works and musical trends alongside more familiar ones. Rather than relying on temporal, periodic and composer-related phenomena to structure the volume, it is organized by genre; chapters are grouped according to the traditional distinctions of music for the church, music for the theatre and music for the concert room that conditioned so much thinking, activity and output in the eighteenth century. A valuable summation of current research in this area, the volume also encourages the readers to think of eighteenth-century music less in terms of overtly teleological developments than of interacting and mutually stimulating musical cultures and practices.

Download The "Appropriateness" of Mozart's Church Compositions in 18th Century Austria. "Godless Rebel" or "Faithful Devotee"? Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Musicology - Music history - 18th century, grade: 1, University of Queensland (St. Lucia Campus), course: MUSC2500 - Classical Music, language: English, abstract: This essay deals with Mozart’s Requiem (K626) and describes what aspects of the Requiem would have been deemed 'problematic' under the conventions that the church placed upon their music compositions, and explains how these 'problematic' elements actually complemented what effect church music was supposed to evoke for 18th Century Austrian parishioners. Mozart's Requiem has been the subject of debate in terms of its innovativeness and 'appropriateness' for 18th Century Church music, within the historical context in which it was composed. Some have argued that its failure to strictly adhere to the conventions that the Church placed upon Church music composition of the day, meant that Mozart was deliberately 'rebelling' against Church policy. However, a closer study of the historical context, in conjunction with particular events in the composer's life surrounding the development of this composition, indicate that Mozart was actually trying to support the Church's stance on providing music that is both moving, reverent and sacred, albeit taking some liberties that perhaps a lesser well-known and respected composer might not have been able to get away with.

Download Fortepianos and Their Music Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Eighteenth-century pianos shaped and influenced the music that was written for them. However, although organological studies probe the instrument in ever more detail, and musical criticism focuses increasingly on the musical repertoire, the relationship between the two has not been properly examined. This book concentrates on the keyboard writing of the last third of the eighteenth century, as inspired by the fundamentally different constructions of the German/Viennese and the English pianoforte. The highly articulated languages of Mozart and his Viennese contemporaries, and the more robust, pre-romantic style of Duzzek and his London colleagues reflect the very characteristics of these respective instruments. Beyond the scrutiny of the music, attention is given also to the players. The differentiation between professionals and amateurs is addressed, and contemporary sources help provide a description of late eighteenth-century performing styles; such a survey offers new insight into the living art of the pianoforte during a most important period in its history.

Download Music in Eighteenth-Century Britain Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This collection of essays by some of the leading scholars in the field looks at various aspects of musical life in eighteenth-century Britain. The significant roles played by institutions such as the Freemasons and foreign embassy chapels in promoting music making and introducing foreign styles to English music are examined, as well as the influence exerted by individuals, both foreign and British. The book covers the spectrum of British music, both sacred and secular, and both cosmopolitan and provincial. In doing so it helps to redress the picture of eighteenth-century British music which has previously portrayed Handel and London as its primary constituents.

Download Music in Spain During the Eighteenth Century Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Traditional musicology has tended to see the Spanish eighteenth century as a period of decline, but this 1998 volume shows it to be rich in interest and achievement. Covering stage genres, orchestral and instrumental music and vocal music (both sacred and secular), it brings together the results of research on such topics as opera, musical instruments, the secular cantata and the villancico and challenges received ideas about how Italian and Austrian music of the period influenced (or was opposed by) Spanish composers and theorists. Two final chapters outline the presence of Spanish musical sources in the New World.
