The movements of the mass ordinary as we know it have now been composed in various pop styles that have their origin in the gospel music. We hear, then, not only the classic American gospel style (including the characteristic clapping and swingrhythms), but also freer gospel styles that have developed over the course of time. As far as we know, The Gospel Mass is the only true gospel mass. Choral parts available separately.

Crea ting excellence is not magic, the process known only to a few people with supernatural insights and abilities. . . . Vision, persistence, and strategy are the foremost reasons for the creation of excellence in musical performance and they are characteristics of all notably successful choral and orchestral conductors and their ensembles. — from the Introduction In Creating Excellence in Choirs and Orchestras, noted scholar and conductor Dennis Shrock uncovers the key factors and proven strategies that lead to the achievement of excellence in music ensembles at any level, from youth and volunteer groups to professional ensembles. With the use of numerous historical references and examples, primary source quotations, and music excerpts, Shrock lays out fourteen elements that contribute to an ensemble’s success. The first seven are foundational theoretical concepts: goals, focus, attitudes, structures, procedures, responsibility, and ontology. The subsequent seven elements address practical techniques: study, warm-ups, sound, cohesion, expression, conducting, and repertoire. While the book highlights the choral and orchestral mediums specifically, all concepts can be applied to any type of ensemble, from marching bands and wind ensembles to string quartets and vocal chamber groups. Further, the recommendations herein are not exclusively for the benefit of conductors. Music teachers, church musicians, ensemble members, and administrative staff will glean from these pages as well. According to Shrock, excellence is an attainable goal for anyone with a vision, a persistent commitment to that vision, and creative strategies to facilitate that vision’s realization. With this inspiring premise at its core, this insightful text guides readers as they embark on their own quest for musical excellence. Dennis Shrock is considered one of the top choral scholars in the United States and has received a number of awards for his work. He has conducted numerous choral and orchestral ensembles throughout his career, including the Chorale and Accademia Filarmonica at the University of Oklahoma, the Canterbury Choral Society, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale, the Oklahoma Symphony Orchestra, and Oklahoma City Philharmonic. He is also a noted author, having written three books for Oxford University Press as well as six books for GIA Publications.

The story centres on the English princess Caroline Mathilde (1751-1775), sister of George III, who at the age of 15 was sent to Denmark to marry the 17-year-old eccentric and schizophrenic Danish King, Christian VII. The ballet portrays her unhappy marriage, the King's growing madness and her fatal love-affair with Struensee, the King's influential physician, which leads to their arrest, his execution and her exile, at the age of 20, separated from her two young children. This suite begins with the act's opening number: a boisterous, stamping dance to which the people rudely mock Queen Caroline Mathilde and her lover Struensee. After this comes a dark Adagio, The Conspiracy, in which the theme passes like persuasion from mouth to mouth, its variations suggesting the different attitudes of the conspirators, firmly controlled by the brass-driven gestures of the Queen Dowager. The conspiracy then works itself out at a court masked ball, from which the suite includes two dances: a gavotte, and a slow, lubricious passacaglia that is a pas de deux for Caroline Mathilde and Struensee. The Arrest comes with a gathering rush of music that envelops the King, the Queen and Struensee, leading to a vociferous climax in which they are held apart. In The Execution, slow white music for wordless female voices, harp and low strings is interrupted by pathetic, alienated outbursts from the King. The suite ends, as does the ballet, with a quiet adagio lament for clarinets and alto flute as the Queen goes into exile. Score. Duration c. 33mins.

DUNHU ANG FANTASIA is a fascinating 12-minute drama inspired by art from grottoes in the ancient town of Dunhuang in western China. These frescoes preserve images of music and dance scenes, including the postures and attitudes of performers, and of the musical instruments used. Zhou Long’s music begins with a mysterious introduction driven by drum-like textures, followed by a series of episodes, enhanced by captions of the artwork inspiring each section and evocations of the ancient musical instruments.
Commissio ned and with fingering by Zou Xiang, Dunhuang Fantasia was composed in the fall of 2017. The music was inspired by the art of the Mogaoku grottoes in the ancient town of Dunhuang in western China. The frescoes of the Dunhuang grottos preserve a number of music and dance performance scenes, including images of the postures and attitudes of performers, and of a number of musical instrument types are used.The most popular form of music indigenous to this region is the huar, a folk-song type current among a number of nationalities. The huar is actually a kind of mountain song. Along with huar, Dunhuang pipa qupu (Dunhuang pipa notation) is also an inspiration for elements in this music.The music begins in adagio as a mysterious introduction. The drum-like rhythm patterns beating in the lowest region of the piano, with a muted-string sonority, creates an expanded space to enhance the echoes from the grottos. This is soon followed by the first main section, Cup of Happiness, featuring the huar and Dunhuang pipa melodies along with the dance rhythm. In the next section, Water Drum, the music becomes medium tempo. In the section Dialogue in Presto, the music becomes more active and contrapuntal. The section Tune: Changsha Girl is in a faster tempo as a dance scene. The Coda starts with dense rhythms, and tension is gradually intensified to reach a climax, culminating in a return of the opening section.

Text by the composerTranslation: engl. (E. J. Dent), ital. (V. Levi), port. (G. de Medeiros)Place and time: Bergamo, around the 18th century.Characters: Ser Matteo del Sarto, master tailor (baritone) - Abbate Cospicuo (baritone) - Dottore Bombasto (bass) - Leandro, Cavaliere (tenor) - Arlecchino (speaking part) - Colombina, Arlecchino's wife (mezzo-soprano) - Annunziata, Matteo's wife - Zwei Sbirren - Ein Karrner - a Donkey - People at the windows (silent parts)The idea behind this work was to combine a major speaking role with a part for a female singer and orchestra in the spirit of the opera buffa. The overall tone is pacifistic and anti-bourgeois. Busoni's inspiration was that of an opera-play in the style of Italian improvised comedy; he wanted types and characters on stage whose varying typology would provide the source of conflict ... The title hero absconds with the young wife of the Dante-reading tailor Matteo. He returns as a false barbarian commander, as a husband who engages in a duel with the suitor Count Leandro, and as a conqueror who announces the moral of the story in the epilogue: how to be able to bow in rags and still retain one's dignity and rights. The piece takes a turn for the absurd when the Abbate, at the sight of Leandro, who is presumed dead, begins to sing a chorale-like song of praise to the donkey of Providence who comes trotting in at that moment. This introduces the most musically refined number in the piece, the quartet, in which Leandro's love aria and his duet with Columbina satirize the attitudes prevalent in Italian opera from Scarlatti to Verdi. Musically, Busoni uses throughout the entire work an idiom of dance-like, blissfully transparent comedy and hides harmonic audacities behind touches of lightness. The orchestral sound radiates an incomparable brightness and buoyant elegance. (Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt, 1967)

In the appendix, EB 9433 contains the later composed aria Wer siegt? Wer fallt?..

Proiezione in origine dei valori e dei miti di una tragica militanza ideologica, la nozione di Umanesimo civile – l’idea di una epocale convergenza tra la mutazione culturale promossa dagli umanisti e i valori sociali e politici espressi dalle repubbliche cittadine del primo Rinascimento – si carica volentieri di una responsabilità di paradigma metastorico che la critica ha persuasivamente contestato. D’altra parte la nozione non sembra sostenere nemmeno la più ristretta accezione di un’esperienza culturale unitaria, di «una maniera propria dell’Umanesimo fiorentino, diversa da quella degli altri gruppi umanistici», troppo profonde risultando le differenze, su aspetti ideologici fondamentali, tra i letterati fiorentini così evocati. Tuttavia il concetto di Umanesimo civile rimane storiograficamente rilevante, confermando l’insistenza di Hans Baron sulla peculiarità dell’esperienza fiorentina, se si limita a riassumere la convergenza tra la rivoluzione culturale e l’elaborazione politica di una specifica vicenda cittadina, protagonista il ceto che in risposta alla rivolta dei Ciompi diede vita alla repubblica oligarchica, a sua volta infine esautorato dall’egemonia medicea. Un primo risultato di questa constatazione è una più incisiva inclusione del movimento artistico nella dimensione dell’Umanesimo civile, non in un ruolo collaterale e subalterno rispetto ai letterati, ma in quello di protagonista, di inoltrato avamposto di una nuova forma mentis, di una aurorale nuova coscienza filosofica e scientifica: un risultato che mette in discussione anche tradizionali convinzioni sulla radicale inettitudine dell’Umanesimo alla scienza. Secondo, cospicuo esito di una più puntuale definizione sociologica, la nozione proposta da Baron e dalla sua scuola non esaurisce con la caduta della repubblica oligarchica la sua pertinenza alle convinzioni e ai comportamenti del patriziato, il quale in effetti continuò largamente e a lungo a coltivare l’immagine di sé creata dall’Umanesimo civile, sebbene ormai non come orgogliosa affermazione del proprio potere, ma come difesa della propria identità sociale e di residue prerogative politiche. In realtà, assai più che non risulti ad una omogeneizzante «storiografia della decadenza», un inconciliabile conflitto di culture percorre il Rinascimento fiorentino in tutta la sua durata, investendo gli orientamenti filosofici, le concezioni artistiche e letterarie, intrecciandosi con le convulsioni politiche della città e con la tragedia della restaurazione confessionale. È appunto in tale intreccio che si possono cogliere, sino a fine Cinquecento, le ultime risonanze dell’Umanesimo civile.
È sembrato importante richiamare l’attenzione da questo punto di vista su personaggi, circostanze ed episodi storiograficamente noti per altri versi: sul magistero intellettuale di Piero Vettori, nella politica culturale del principato mediceo rimasto un corpo estraneo, una testimonianza di valori della tradizione fiorentina mortificati dall’assolutismo e dall’omologazione confessionale; su un aristotelismo umanistico e laico chiamato a fronteggiare il neoplatonismo di regime e a fecondare in termini ideologicamente non neutrali i dibattiti sulla Poetica e sulla teoria musicale; sull’Accademia degli Alterati, luogo di culto di memorie repubblicane e, in qualche momento, sospettabile punto di incontro del dissenso politico. È sembrato infine che la nozione di Umanesimo civile potesse plausibilmente e fecondamente raccordare l’invenzione del melodramma – L’Euridice di Peri, Rinuccini e Corsi per le nozze di Enrico IV e Maria de’ Medici – alle tradizioni culturali, agli interessi sociali, ai sentimenti e progetti politici coltivati dai suoi promotori, Florentini cives non rassegnati alla subalternità e all’alluvione antiumanistica.
