Transitions in Mid-Baroque Music
Featuring 102 music examples, this edited collection features contributions by leading scholars from the UK, United States, Australasia and Europe on what characterized the period. This collection focusses on the stylistic and cultural interchange that characterizes the musical period of the mid-Baroque (c.1650-1710). The idea of musical transition during this period is evident in two principal ways: geographical and chronological (the two often overlap). Chapters examine geographical transition by tracing the exchange of regional and national styles, while considering chronological evolution from the perspective of music theory, performance practice, source studies or specific repertoires. Studies range across instrumental and vocal music, both sacred and secular, and encompass some of the main European traditions prevalent at the time: Italian, German, French and English. The collection features contributions by leading scholars from the UK, the United States, Australasia and Europe. CARRIE CHURNSIDE is Associate Professor in Music at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (part of Birmingham City University).
Queer Ear
"Queer Ear brings together for the first time a collection of music theorists who issue queer challenges to both music theory and musicology. To queer musicology, which has often presumed that music theory has nothing valuable to contribute to queer music studies, we demonstrate how music theory can be appropriated for queer ends. We show that queerness is integral to our music-theoretical practice, and can change the field of music theory. Queers have always listened widely, repurposing straight sounds for the "queer ear," a concept which stands in contrast with queer soundings, by queer composers, who are also investigated in this volume. Privileging provisional, idiosyncratic, and nonnorm...
J. S. Bach's Material and Spiritual Treasures
An innovative study of the ways in which theological themes related to earthly and heavenly 'treasures' and Bach's own apparent attentiveness to the spiritual values related to money intertwined in his sacred music. In Johann Sebastian Bach's Lutheran church setting, various biblical ideas were communicated through sermons and songs to encourage parishioners to emulate Christian doctrine in their own lives. Such narratives are based on an understanding that one's lifetime on earth is a temporal passageway to eternity after death, where souls are sent either to heaven or hell based on one's belief or unbelief. Throughout J. S. Bach's Material and Spiritual Treasures, Bach scholar Noelle M. He...

Die Musikaliensammlung Leopolds I.
Leopold I. (1640–1705) besaß in seiner Bibliotheca cubicularis (Schlafkammerbibliothek) auch eine der wichtigsten Musikaliensammlungen seiner Zeit. Die Teile dieser Sammlung, die noch existieren und als solche identifiziert wurden, befinden sich heute im Wesentlichen als Bestand "Leopoldina" in der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek. Dass Leopolds Sammlung sich nicht geschlossen erhalten hat und die verbliebenen Bände sich nur unter Mühen zur ursprünglichen Bibliotheksordnung in Beziehung setzen lassen, ist das Resultat verschiedener Prozesse des Transfers in andere Sammlungszusammenhänge und von Umsignierungen über die Jahrhunderte hinweg. Der vorliegenden Publikation gelingt mittels eines komplexen archivalischen Instrumentariums unter Berücksichtigung u. a. von Einbänden, Datierungen, Gattungsbegriffen, Signaturenordnungen und Schreiberhänden eine bedeutende Annäherung an den Umfang und die Struktur des ursprünglichen Bestandes.
Political Engagement and Popular Print in Spanish Naples (1503-1707)
What was published in Naples during the Spanish Vicerealm? How did books, pamphlets, broadsheets and newspapers contribute to the political awareness of the Neapolitan people? To what extent did the authorities engage with this politically-charged literary world? This book aims to answer these questions by discussing an untapped body of sources, in manuscript and printed form. What emerges is a vivid picture of a vibrant printing industry and a rich cultural landscape. Three moments of crisis of the seventeenth century – the eruption of Vesuvius, Masaniello’s revolt and a major plague epidemic – are used as a test of the capability of the Spanish authorities in regards to political and propagandistic communication.
Notturno
Notturno è un brano per pianoforte composto da Claudia Jane Scroccaro per il VII Convegno Interdisciplinare dei Dottorandi e Dottori di Ricerca svoltosi presso l’Università degli Studi di Roma “Tor Vergata” dal 3 al 5 giugno 2015. L’evento, dedicato al tema «Conflitti», ha accolto relazioni scientifiche di giovani studiosi provenienti da tutto il mondo ed è stato aperto anche a proposte performative. La composizione di Scroccaro, eseguita per la prima volta presso l’Auditorium “Ennio Morricone” durante la serata conclusiva del Convegno, è presentata in questa edizione musicale come ulteriore traccia delle molteplici riflessioni che il tema ha suscitato, riflessioni che sono raccolte nei due volumi Conflitti. Antichità, Archeologia, Storia, Linguistica, Letteratura e Conflitti. Arte, Musica, Pensiero e Società. Nadia Amendola Rocco Bochicchio Valeria Ducatelli Caterina Lidano Giacomo Sciommeri
Esengo
Ogni domenica mattina in piazza di Pasquino a Roma, nei pressi di piazza Navona, si può udire un sound coinvolgente caratterizzato da andamenti ritmici provenienti dal cuore dell’Africa. Si tratta del coro Bondeko che anima il rito cattolico zairese nella chiesa della Natività di Gesù; esengo è la parola che in lingua lingala significa “gioia”. Il volume è il risultato di una ricerca etnomusicologica condotta nella comunità congolese dal 2013, primo di una serie di monografie dedicate ad altri luoghi di culto frequentati da immigrati nella città di Roma. Esengo, realizzato in forma dialogica, si apre con un’introduzione storica del cristianesimo in Congo per poi focalizzarsi sulla storia della preziosa realtà congolese della chiesa della Natività. Seguono analisi e trascrizioni musicali di alcuni brani significativi del repertorio liturgico e un focus sulle pratiche musicali della Settimana Santa. Chiude il volume una sezione dedicata alle storie dei protagonisti del coro Bondeko. Esengo è corredato da un apparato multimediale che comprende fotografie e filmati documentati sul campo, disponibili alla pagina Multimedia di NeoClassica.
