Product Description
For more than three decades Richard Charteris has researched European music, sources and collections, focusing particularly on late Renaissance England, Germany and Italy. This group of essays, many concerning previously unknown or unexplored works and materials, covers the 16th and early to mid 17th centuries. The studies involve variously 'new' compositions, music manuscripts and editions, and documents that relate to figures such as the Italians Giovanni Gabrieli, Claudio Monteverdi and Alfonso Ferrabosco the Elder, the Germans Hans Leo Hassler and Adam Gumpelzhaimer, as well as the Englishmen John Coprario, John Dowland, John Jenkins, Henry Lawes, William Lawes, Peter Philips, and the French composer Marin Marais. In addition, Charteris elucidates contemporary performance practice in relation to works by Gabrieli, investigates printed music editions that originated from the Church of St Anna, Augsburg, and evaluates materials in collections, including ones in Berlin, Hamburg, Krakow, London and Warsaw. ...

An Expensive Catalogue
This book includes a listing of all of Giovanni Gabrieli's works at the very end:the list was the only reason I bought the book.With a best price of $70, this is a very expensive way in which to obtain such a listing.The book is also extremely technical, perhaps too technical for people other than music students or professors.Since the time when I purchased the book, I have created a spreadsheet containing all of Gabrieli's works and based on this book's listing, and I have given the book away.I wish I could have found a complete listing of Gabrieli's works in any other manner, as I would not have bought this book. ...

Excerpt:Adrian Willaert Adrian Willaert (c. 1490 7 December 1562) was a Flemish composer of the Renaissance and founder of the Venetian School . He was one of the most representative members of the generation of northern composers who moved to Italy and transplanted the polyphonic Franco-Flemish style there. Life He was probably born at Bruges , although a secondary source has suggested Roeselare . According to his student, the renowned late 16th century music theorist Gioseffo Zarlino , Willaert went to Paris first to study law, but instead decided to study music. In Paris he met Jean Mouton , the principal composer of the French royal chapel and stylistic compatriot of Josquin des Prez , and studied with him. Sometime around 1515 Willaert first went to Rome. An anecdote survives that indicates the musical ability of the young composer: Willaert was surprised to discover the choir of the papal chapel singing one of his own compositions, most likely the six-part motet Verbum bonum et suave , and even more surprised to learn that they thought it had been written by the much more famous composer Josquin. When he informed the singers of their error that he was in fact the composer they refused to sing it again. Indeed Willaert's early style is very similar to that of Josquin, with smooth polyphony, balanced voices and frequent use of imitati... ... Read more
