Judith BlezzardThis book looks at English church music from a new standpoint. It examines the relationship between English church music and the various types of other music that have influenced its development revealing a vigorous tradition of interplay with extraneous musical material that is seldom apparent from the ways in which music is presented for church use. The borrowing of music from churches outside England is explored and a large section is devoted to the often surprisingly ingenious ways in which secular music has since the beginnings of the English church been appropriated as music for worship - often with controversial results. From madrigal tomusic-hall from plainsong to popular styles: these and many other kinds of music have lent both styles and material to sacred music with English texts. By examining these musical transformations this book demonstrates that English church music is far from being an exclusively insular and retrospective repertory as is often presumed to be the case. Although the book with its use of musical examples is designed primarily for the general musical reader - both amateur and professional its broadly historical approach will appeal to those interested in English cultural heritage the church and its worship.ISBN 0 85249 784 9

Beginning with the organ and a stately choir the text from II Chronicles 7:15-16 honors when God is with us in our sacred space.

Next thing you know the choir and organ bring in two traditional hymns (Come Thou Fount and Joyful Joyful) that all fit together. God istruly in this house for all people of all musical styles.

13 ausgewählte Kirchenmusiken zwischen 1. Advent und Michaelis. This volume represents the only annual cycle of sacred music of the 18th century printed in score: it was completed in 1744. The textual basis stems from Erdmann Neumeister. In contrast to the usual practice of the Telemann Edition to edit segments of the church years, here the entire course of the church year is presented. The music to be performed at the beginning of each part of the church year and at special celebrations is included. Telemann used a variety of expressive polyphonic techniques to create the introductory dicta. These, like the chorales, are written in concentrated three-part harmony. The preface provides information on the printing history of the church year and its dissemination supplemented by comments on performance practice: the critical report analyses the rich source material. Editions of Telemann's preface (with his performance notes and an explanation of his figured bass system), the preface on the printing of the texts and the texts of the compositions contained in the volume flank the edition of the music. Facsimiles from the original print and from Hamburg performance materials are included.

Small Sacred Concertos II. The "Kleine geistliche Konzerte" (Small Sacred Concertos), published in two parts in 1636 and1639, are among the best-known and well-loved compositions of Heinrich Schütz. Both parts constitute a collection of vocal pieces in a broad range of styles written for only a few voices with basso continuo. Most of the texts are in German, but some are also in Latin. The first volume presents a broad spectrum of vocal scoring, musical forms and texts: there are solo concertos in the Italian style, traditional four-part motets, well-known Psalm texts set to music, hymns as well as mystically contemplative meditative literature. The concertos' monodic qualities and high level of virtuosity - especially in the compositions with German text - made Schütz a household name shortly after the "Kleine geistliche Konzerte" were published in print. As the works required no large ensembles, they could be performed for different occasions and in various locations: particularly during the Thirty Years' War they could be heard at court, in cities or in villages but also in schools or at home. Unlike the 1963 edition of the "Kleine geistliche Konzerte" (BA 3664, BA 3665, BA 3666) as part of the New Schütz Edition, this new volume presents the works for the first time in their original form and order. A historic-critical evaluation of all relevant sources yields new information regarding the composer's intentions, the printing process and the works' reception. Furthermore, the edition includes a reconstruction of an earlier version that has not been published until now. This edition is geared towards musicologists, as well as professional musicians and amateurs with a keen interest in early music.

Par JEFFREYS GEORGE. Publication of the complete English sacred music of George Jeffreys (c.1610?1685) opens a window on the achievement of one of the few pre-Commonwealth composers wholeheartedly committed to the contemporary Italianate stile nuovo. Besides a quantity of sacred works in Latin, there are 26 surviving English anthems and devotional pieces, plus three settings from the Communion Service, an impressive output for someone employed for most of his life primarily as a steward to the Hatton family. Though only one of his works was published in his lifetime, Jeffreys?s compositions are preserved in several autograph manuscripts that are the basis of this edition. / Date parution : 2021-11-03/ Recueil / Choeur Mixte
