â??During my career spanning half a century, like all my fellow harpists I constantly had to grapple with the commonly held view that the harp has neither music nor history of its own.
Fortunately, over the years I have been able to give the lie to this myth and have tried to bring to light some of the vast repertoire, both early and modern, expressly composed for this instrument which has been treated somewhat as an outsider in the musical world.
The research work for my books on Italian and Swiss harp music was plain sailing because source materials were specific titles and title pages. Were I to write books on French, German, Austrian, British, Bohemian, Spanish, Portuguese or Scandinavian harp music, the work involved would be equally smooth and straightforward.
However, where Dutch music is concerned, the approach is rather different, because here it is the painters, treatise-writers and historians who provide the evidence and guidance necessary to discover the musical customs and traditions where the harp played a significant part.
Performers looking for pieces of music may use this book as follows: chapter II deals with treatises, chapter III with paintings, chapter IV with history and research accounts. Chapters V and VI are concerned with confusions in terminology. Chapter VII describes recent developments and chapters VIII and IX cover composers and pieces of music. Libraries and publishers are listed with their addresses in chapters X and XI, and finally chapter XII consists of the index based on the various groups of performers.
In this last chapter harpists will find the composers most suited to their programme, and can then turn to chapters VIII and IX for details. The actual pieces can be obtained by consulting chapters X and XI. I wish you every success in your search, in your rehearsals and in your concerts !
In order to define what is Dutch or non-Dutch in early music, I have followed the current approach, i.e. all art and history prior to the separation of the â??Seven Provin­ces in the 16th century is the common heritage of the Low Countries, whereas everything pertaining to those courageous lands from then onwards is specifically Dutch..

SSATB choir, basso continuo

SKU: CA.3602005

Composed by Dietrich Buxtehude. Missa Alla Brevis 114. Sacred vocal music, Missa brevis in Latin. Choral Score. BuxWV 114. 16 pages. Duration 8 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 36.020/05. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3602005).

ISBN 9790007112615. Language: Latin.

In the tradition of Protestant missa brevis compositions, the music of this Mass was written in the so-called stile antico following 16th-century models and known as Palestrina style. The surviving copy, in the Duben Collection, dates from 1675. Buxtehude adopted the strict form of the stile antico, contrapuntal polyphony without instrumental accompaniment for various compositions of the same period, including Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin BuxWV 76, written on the death of his father. The Missa brevis consists of the Kyrie and Gloria of the Ordinarium, so it is a Lutheran Mass; in 17th-century Protestant services these sections of the Mass were sung in Latin. Score available separately - see item CA.3602000.

String Ensemble

SKU: BT.EMBZ14640

Für vier Streichinstrumente. By Gabor Kovats. By János Bali. Book Only. Composed 2008. 116 pages. Editio Musica Budapest #EMBZ14640. Published by Editio Musica Budapest (BT.EMBZ14640).

Hungarian-English-German-French.

These volumes (Z. 14625 and Z. 14640) from János Bali are special publications. Apart from being collections of 16th-century pieces playable at concerts or any other kind of musical occasion, they also serve as basic material for today s increasingly popular Renaissance dance halls, or balls: the pieces they contain are grouped according to the various types of dance, and supplemented by a description of the most important dance steps, and formulas of ornamentation providing patterns and ideas for use in performance. An ensemble of different-sized recorders/strings is one of the most typical instrumental combinations of the Renaissance, and can successfully evoke the authenticsound and performance practice of the period.

Diese Bände (Z. 14625 und Z. 14640) von János Bali stellen eine besondere Ausgabe dar. Abgesehen davon, dass sich die Sammlungen der Stücke aus dem 16. Jh. bei jedem Konzert oder ähnlichen musikalischen Ereignissen spielen lassen, können sie auch als Grundlage der heutzutage immer öfter veranstalteten Renaissancebälle und Tanzkreise dienen: Die Stücke werden nach Tanztyp sortiert und durch eine Beschreibung der wichtigsten Tanzschritte - bzw. mit den der Aufführung Ideen vermittelnden Muster für die Verzierungsformeln ergänzt - präsentiert. Das Ensemble aus verschieden großen Blockflöten/Streichern ist eine der typischsten Renaissancebesetzungen, die erfolgreich der authentischenWiedergabe des damaligen Klanges und Aufführungspraxis dienen kann.

For Oboe, Bassoon & Piano. Composed by Fred Cohen. Chamber Music, Piano Trio. Score & Parts. Subito Music Corporation #50600012. Published by Subito Music Corporation (SU.50600012).

Duration: 15' Performing Materials: score and parts Published by: Dunsinane Music Publishing Composer's Note: A fancy is an English version of the Italian capriccio, a form introduced in the 16th century for works in various media wherein the force of imagination has better success than observation of the rules of art (Furetière, Dictionnaire universel). The term is also used to describe a suite of dances. Fred’s Fancies is a series of six dances that are quite capricious in nature, a fair portrait of the person to whom the work is dedicated. The suite’s musical material is introduced in the first movement, an athletic Allegro. The following four movements emphasize some aspect of the first. The second, Waltz, is a quiet variation of the first movement’s opening gesture. The third, Manic, combines the opening gesture with a secondary theme emphasizing descending perfect fourths separated by half-steps. The fourth movement, Arioso, re-visits themes from the Waltz, now set in a freer rhythm. The fifth, Favotte, combines elements of the gavotte with fugal episodes. The cycle culminates in a speedy final movement, Vivace, that brings back the all principal themes of cycle.
