Johann Pezel, 1639-1694
Though best known for his wind music, Johann Pezel actually wrote more than twice as many instrumental works for strings. His entire instrumental oeuvre is examined and evaluated in this catalogue, which includes an extended introductory essay, over 500 incipits, and fifteen plates of original title pages and parts.
Opinions on Church Music
The place of music in worship has varied widely throughout the centuries. In the last two decades,music for the church has undergone drastic changes in style, in function, and in the attitudes of the people who perform it and listen to it. Understanding these changes is easier if we know the viewpoints of the past. Opinions on Church Music will help the reader do just that. In a representative selection of letters, essays, sermons, memoirs, dedications, prefaces, and other documents taken from the writings of musicians, critics, historians, clergymen, and the lay public, this anthology reflects a wide range of reactions to the musical scene as it touches upon the church. From Erasmus's criticism of choirboys to Stephen Koch's evaluation of Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell, Dr. Wienandt has brought into focus a picture of the changing course of music with a religious message.
Choral Music of the Church
This book is an attempt to bring together the principal developments of Christian choral music spanning more than ten centuries. It crosses denominational lines, but it devotes most of its space to an examination of music in the three principal liturgical streams that developed in Europe: the Roman Catholic, the Anglican, and the Lutheran. This book examines church music rather than religious concert music, and a number of relatively unheralded composers and works have been brought into the discussion. The principal function of this book is to serve as a text in courses concerned with the literature and history of church music.
