Terry B. Ewell discusses a few common ornaments in Baroque music. Bassoon Digital Professor video #59, www.2reed.net.

Music from the baroque period is characterized by ornament and decoration- as well as drama, as heard in the harmonic tension and conflict in the music. Santiago de Murcia was an 18th century guitarist and composer in Spain. He served as the guitar tutor for the Queen, and his music was exported to Mexico. It added to the Mexican baroque repertoire for guitar. In order to play his music, it is essential for the musicians to improvise and add decoration- as heard in the trills in the music. Four types: Prall trill, Murdent trill, Turn, and Slide.

Maria Callas discusses ornamentation in vocal music.

www.castyourart.com (english version) www.castyourart.com (german version) In 1908, Adolf Loos published a polemic modern architecture pamphlet titled Ornament and Crime. Ornamentation, he argues, is redundant, cost-intensive kitschy decoration, and an expression of the cultural backwardness which can be found in primitive cultures, and which is not representative of modern man. The barbarian era, the architect concludes, is finally past. In the work of artists such as Adriana Czernin, Brigitte Kowanz, Sarah Morris, Raqib Shaw, Aisha Khalid, Mona Hatoum or Parastou Forouhar, ornamentation is given a voice on different levels, such as physicality, eros, violence, cultural differences, and the rhythms of modern and traditional life, and reveals its seductive power to touch upon deeper layers that lie behind the wall of the abstract beauty of the ornament. What these artists all share is their approach of use this seductive power of ornamental beauty with a very clear intention in mind. In this exhibition, ornamentation emerges not as a hollow decoration, but rather as an allegory of the collective modern existence within mass society, and the artists use the ornament as a powerful tool for critique and rebellion. Its beauty attracts the attention of the viewers. It encourages them to look closer, in order to expose collective patterns of social standardization, brutality, and suppression of otherness in its details. According to Kracauer, People who are separated from the <b>...</b>

High resolution and stereo sound: www.youtube.com Giulio Caccini (c.1550-1680) Amor, io parto Madrigal for soprano voice, from "Le nuove musiche, 1601" set on an anonymous text In this recording: Johannette Zomer, soprano Fred Jakobs, theorbo Channel Classics The score I used is from a facsimile copy of Caccini's Le Nuove Musiche, 1601. I didn't edit the score at all, except that I cleared the specks around it . Here and there, the text may not be so easy to read on the score. But, as always, I included the text in modern spelling and the translation. "Caccini's Le Nuove Musiche is a collection of works for solo voice and basso continuo. Caccini uses two distinct compositional styles in the collection: twelve "madrigals" -- through-composed, somewhat rhythmically-free compositions with rhapsodic passages designed to emphasise the important words in the text -- and ten "arias" which are shorter and usually strophic. ... The type of solo "madrigal" pioneered by Caccini is distinguished from the polyphonic madrigal which was the most popular form of secular composition during the late Renaissance." - Sheila Barnes "Madrigals are, according to Caccini's definition, through-composed one part pieces which are usually elaborately ornamented on non-strophic texts whose metric structure is irregular. ... One main theme dominates all of the poems upon which Caccini's Nuove Musiche is based: love. Two literary forms reflect the two aspects of love, the elegiac madrigal, in which the <b>...</b>

Look for Part I. Regardez pour la 1e partie. Miserere by Italian composer Gregorio Allegri (also called "Miserere mei, Deus" - English "Have mercy on me, O God") is a setting of Psalm 51 (50) composed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII, probably during the 1630s, for use in the Sistine Chapel during matins on Wednesday and Friday of Holy Week. It was the last of twelve falsobordone Miserere settings composed and chanted at the service since 1514 and the most popular: at some point, it became forbidden to transcribe the music and it was only allowed to be performed at those particular services, adding to the mystery surrounding it. Writing it down or performing it elsewhere was punishable by excommunication. The setting that escaped from the Vatican is actually a conflation of verses set by Gregorio Allegri around 1638 and Tommaso Bai (1650 - 1718, also spelled "Baj") in 1714. The Miserere is written for two choirs, one of five and one of four voices. One of the choirs sings a simple version of the original Miserere chant; the other, spatially separated, sings an ornamented "commentary" on this. Many have cited this work as an example of the stile antico or prima pratica. However, its constant use of the dominant seventh chord and its emphasis on polychoral techniques certainly put it out of the range of prima pratica. A more accurate comparison would be to the works of Giovanni Gabrieli. Mozart was summoned to Rome by the Pope, only instead of excommunicating the boy <b>...</b>

The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, are a set of an aria and 30 variations for harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach. First published in 1741 as the fourth in a series Bach called Clavier-Übung, "keyboard exercise", the work is considered to be one of the most important examples of variation form. It is named after Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who may have been the first performer. The aria is a sarabande in 3/4 time, and features a heavily ornamented melody. The French style of ornamentation suggests that the ornaments are supposed to be parts of the melody, however some performers (for example Wilhelm Kempff on piano) omit some or all ornaments and present the aria unadorned. Peter Williams comments in Bach: The Goldberg Variations that this is not the theme at all, but actually the first variation (a view emphasising the idea of the work as a chaconne rather than a piece in true variation form). Glenn Gould playing the aria from Bachs Goldberg Variations... does it get any better? Enjoy! Remember to comment, rate & subscribe...

Diego Ortiz (Toledo, 1510/Naples, ¿1570?) Diego Ortiz is important to history not only as a leading Spanish composer of the Renaissance era, but also as the author of Trattado di glosas, the first printed instruction book about ornamentation for bowed string orchestras. This was an international success, and was published in Italian. The book contains entirely written-out ornamentations designed to fit specific time periods. The player is directed to determine which was most appropriate, and to write it into his part at the right spot. Furthermore, the work contains studies for bass instruments, treble viol, and keyboard, as well as some madrigals. Like most authentic books on ornamentation and instruction of the period, it is a valuable source of information on performing style of the time. Not much is known about Ortiz's life. The two versions of his book were published simultaneously (in December 1553) while he was in Naples in the service of Pedro de Urries, a Spaniard who was Duke of Riesi, Sicily. The Italian edition is full of Spanish turns of phrases, which suggests that it was prepared by Ortiz himself, and that the writer had been resident in the Spanish-ruled Italy for some time. By February 1558 he was named maestro de cappella for Fernando Alvarez de Toledo, Duke of Alba and the Spanish Viceroy of Naples, and kept that position (or perhaps was rehired for it after a hiatus) by the next Viceroy, Pedro Afan de Rivera, Duke of Alcala, to whom he dedicated his <b>...</b>

In this never-before-released and never-before-broadcast video, Scott Dettra plays the first three movements from the multi-movement work Hymn d'Orgue: Veni Creator, by the French Classic master, Nicolas deGrigny [1671-1703], on the organ of the Cadet Chapel at West Point Military Academy. We hear the Veni Creator, "en taille" in five voice, a Fugue in 5 voices, and a Duo movement. This video is an excellent resource for observing the ornamentation and the manual technique in performing the French Classic ornamentation, which is very florid and extensive in this literature. These 3 movements, plus 2 more, are heard in the Pro Organo CD "Tongues of Fire" [Pro Organo CD 7063]. The video, made on 7 January 1999, was made concurrently with the audio recording sessions for the CD. The CD may be obtained at proorgano.com.

The Baroque period of music flourished in Europe from 1600 to 1750, and began with Italian composers such as Claudio Monteverdi (1567- 1643), Benedetto Marcello (1686-1739) and Antonio Vivaldi (1678- 1741) culminating with Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and George Frederic Handel (1685- 1759). Baroque music is represented by a singleness of mood and gesture, rhythmic continuity, polyphonic texture, and melodic ornamentation. Easy Baroque Pieces for Classical Guitar is meant to be an introduction for the beginner and intermediate guitarist to Baroque music. I have tried to select the most beautiful examples of music of the Baroque and, at the same time, tried to use music that is accessible and playable. In order to keep this book approachable for the beginner and intermediate guitarist, I have kept ornamentation to a minimum.

An interesting compilation of romances that had already been recorded in previous collections by the artist herself, who is very well known for her work in relation to this repertory. Apart from her voice, she is a master of various instruments, which she uses to accompany herself: harp, organ, spinet and a vihuela de arco. She doesn't dismiss the idea of solo vocal interpretations either (La madre de la novia) although a restrained instrumental support helps to highlight the poetry, whose themes have been taken from Spanish-Jewish and Balkan traditions (Alia Música is a reference for the former). Esther Lamandier's timbre is unmistakable. Her characteristic gestures of the glottis in certain pieces are used to create a special context for the ornamentation of some passages, as we saw in her recording of the Cantigas by Alfonso the Wise. It is a contrast to the sonority of the Armenian repertory. Performed a cappella, the use of microtones, special ornamentation and augmented intervals recreate the eastern tradition very well. Such different texts (lullabies, wedding songs, pure romances.) are dramatised to just the right degree with the voice and in relation to their varying origins. Lamandier's work is based on philological criteria and information gathered by ethnomusicology and requires the constant comparison of possible textual and musical variants, the latter still transmitted orally today in some isolated communities. In some cases, as in the Balkan repertory, the <b>...</b>

I thought that it may be of benefit for anyone who is learning the Goldberg Variations to listen to who is (probably) its foremost interpreter's seminal 1981 recording along with the score. I know such an exercise has helped me no end in the past. This is the theme (the Aria), I'll do the rest of the work, variation by variation until we get to all thirty! THE ARIA The aria is a sarabande in 3/4 time, and features a heavily ornamented melody: The French style of ornamentation suggests that the ornaments are supposed to be parts of the melody, however some performers (for example Wilhelm Kempff on piano) omit some or all ornaments and present the aria unadorned. Peter Williams opines in 'Bach: The Goldberg Variations' that this is not the theme at all, but actually the first variation (a view emphasising the idea of the work as a chaconne rather than a piece in true variation form).

In 1990 the Glyndebourne Festival had a little revolution in its sacred halls: Simon Rattle conducted a production of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro. What was so special about this production is the fact that for the first time in the festival's history an orchestra of period instruments was used. To up the ante, there was also a radical departure of its 56 year old established performance practice: Mozart was to be performed with full use of appoggiaturas and ornamentation. This section is actually the intermission feature in which Rattle, Charles Mackerras and cast members talk about the then-new experience of Mozart with ornamentation and make a case for it.

This da capo aria is not a true ABA recording: my MP3 file lacks Cesare's line following part B, and the repeat is missing altogether, along with the anticipated, additional vocal interpretation and ornamentation. I have not found a complete recording of Troyanos in Giulio Cesare on CD, DVD, or LP. I have complete recordings by other performers that include interesting da capo ornamentation; however, Troyanos' voice seems to be the most intriguing. I, therefore, have added the first part A to the end to round out the aria. If anyone locates a complete recording, please inform me; and I shall remove this video and replace it with the better audio track. Thank you. George Frideric Handel: Giulio Cesare, Cleoptratra: V'adora, pupille. Tatiana Troyanos, mezzo-soprano. V'adoro, pupille, saette d'amore, le vostre faville son grate nel sen. Pietose vi brama il mesto mio core, ch'ogn'ora vi chiama l'amato suo ben. (Cesare's line omitted; da capo) Eyes, I adore you, Arrows of desire. Your glances Delight my heart. My yearning heart Begs you for mercy. Ceaselessly, it declares That you are its love. (back to the beginning.)

The Book of Kells (Irish: Leabhar Cheanannais) (Dublin, Trinity College Library, MS AI (58), sometimes known as the Book of Columba) is an illuminated manuscript in Latin, containing the four Gospels of the New Testament together with various prefatory texts and tables. It was transcribed by Celtic monks ca. 800. The text of the Gospels is largely drawn from the Vulgate, although it also includes several passages drawn from the earlier versions of the Bible known as the Vetus Latina. It is a masterwork of Western calligraphyand represents the pinnacle of Insular illumination. It is also widely regarded as Ireland's finest national treasure. The illustrations and ornamentation of the Book of Kells surpass that of other Insular Gospels in extravagance and complexity. The decoration combines traditional Christian iconography with the ornate swirling motifs typical of Insular art. Figures of humans, animals and mythical beasts, together with Celtic knots and interlacing patterns in vibrant colours, enliven the manuscript's pages. Many of these minor decorative elements are imbued with Christian symbolism and so further emphasise the themes of the major illustrations. The manuscript today comprises 340 folios and, since 1953, has been bound in four volumes. The leaves are on high-quality calf vellum, and the unprecedentedly elaborate ornamentation that covers them includes ten full-page illustrations and text pages that are vibrant with historiated initials and interlinear <b>...</b>
