Mater Dolorum Settings By Georg Reutter The Younger And Gregor Werner, As Reflected In Music By Joseph Haydn, Janet K. Page 2024 University of Memphis

Mater Dolorum Settings By Georg Reutter The Younger And Gregor Werner, As Reflected In Music By Joseph Haydn, Janet K. Page

HAYDN: Online Journal of the Haydn Society of North America

Mater dolorum, a text by Heinrich Rademin (1674–1731), is a German-language oratorio intended for performance before a model of the Holy Sepulcher on Good Friday. Such works, amalgamating court sepolcro and popular traditions, were performed in churches throughout Central Europe during Holy Week. Mater dolorum, one of the most popular texts, was set by three of Haydn’s older contemporaries: Georg Reutter Jr. (1726), Gregor Werner (ca. 1733), and Georg Christoph Wagenseil (ca. 1739). In this essay, I consider how these settings, and the attitudes displayed in them, intersected with Haydn’s world and could have influenced him, especially in his …


A “Rosary” Symphony? The Impact Of Haydn’S Religious Faith On His Symphonies, Henry Stratmann 2024 Berklee College of Music

A “Rosary” Symphony? The Impact Of Haydn’S Religious Faith On His Symphonies, Henry Stratmann

HAYDN: Online Journal of the Haydn Society of North America

Despite expressing a strong religious faith throughout his life, Haydn’s secular music far outnumbers his sacred works. Certain symphonies, however, include either allusions to religious themes or project what can be interpreted as a devotional mood. Specifically, some unusually long symphonic slow movements during Haydn’s “Sturm und Drang” period may be orchestral depictions of a meditative, contemplative, prayerful state of mind. They likely reflect the particular practices of Roman Catholic belief and worship that were a pervasive part of the culture in which Haydn lived his entire life and also part of his personal belief system. The Adagio assai of …


The Context And Early Reception Of Haydn’S Stabat Mater, Dexter Edge 2024 Berklee College of Music

The Context And Early Reception Of Haydn’S Stabat Mater, Dexter Edge

HAYDN: Online Journal of the Haydn Society of North America

Haydn spent his formative musical years in Vienna, a city with a strong Marian cult that was expressed musically through such works in German as Heinrich Rademin’s Mater dolorum (set by Werner, Reutter the Younger, and Wagenseil), and by innumerable settings of the Latin sequence Stabat mater. In Vienna, musical settings of the Stabat mater were traditionally performed not only on the feast of Septem Dolorum B. V. M., but also on Saturdays in Lent and during Holy Week. In fact, we now know that Haydn sang a cappella settings of the Stabat mater by Palestrina and Reutter …

German Poetry In Musical Motion, Caden J. Lantz 2024 Cedarville University

German Poetry In Musical Motion, Caden J. Lantz

Musical Offerings

The musical era of Romanticism leaped forward from the individuality of Beethoven and developed composers that were unafraid of expressing their passions through their music. The leading figures of Romanticism, like Schubert and Liszt, no longer saw themselves as servants of their audiences but instead made it their goal to show what they loved in their music. Even despite the stark individualism that was prevalent in this era, there was a shared passion many composers had that was able to unify them, a love for poetry. By studying emotive vocal genres like the German Lied as well as the influences …


Deliver Us From Obscurity: How Persecution Shaped William Byrd Into One Of England’S Finest Composers, Abigail Lilite 2024 Cedarville University

Deliver Us From Obscurity: How Persecution Shaped William Byrd Into One Of England’S Finest Composers, Abigail Lilite

Musical Offerings

Because of the persecution and religious oppression William Byrd faced, his compositional process was forced to be more intricate, innovative, and creative. Consequently, he penned some of the greatest music England has ever seen. Elizabethan England’s history shows how the tenor of Byrd’s relationship with Elizabeth I is deeply ironic, as Elizabeth protected Byrd from the persecution that she afflicted upon him. Even though many of Byrd’s works appear docilely Anglican upon first glance, a deeper analysis reveals many hidden allusions to his Catholic beliefs, developing a masterful level of complexity to his compositions. Many of his motets had double …


The Gift He Gave Us: How W. H. Auden’S Influence Shaped Benjamin Britten Into England’S Next Henry Purcell, Abigail Lilite 2024 Cedarville University

The Gift He Gave Us: How W. H. Auden’S Influence Shaped Benjamin Britten Into England’S Next Henry Purcell, Abigail Lilite

Musical Offerings

While Britten possessed a brilliant mind, he looked outward to others for inspiration, both those who had come before him, like Henry Purcell, and his peers, like his life-long partner, Peter Pears, and the poet, Wystan H. Auden. To become the great English composer he became, Britten needed to have been impacted by these different relationships. Without Wystan H. Auden’s influence on and collaboration with Benjamin Britten, the composer would not have developed as deep an appreciation for poetry within music and an awareness of the challenges of text setting. Consequently, Britten emulated hallmarks of Purcell, revitalizing tradition and asserting …


An Exploration Into The Social And Emotional Effects Of K-12 Music Education, Jerrod T. Perry 2024 Liberty University

An Exploration Into The Social And Emotional Effects Of K-12 Music Education, Jerrod T. Perry

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

In music education, a student must learn to read music notation, develop eye-hand-mind coordination, develop keen listening skills, develop team skills for playing in an ensemble, and develop the discipline to practice. Several research findings show that musical training is a powerful intervention that could help students emotionally and intellectually mature. This research aims to connect the current research on music education with the lack of exploration and knowledge to find the correlation between music and students’ academic success. The methodology used for this study will be a quantitative historical study format directed to discover research-backed evidence based on this …


Dyslexia And Sight-Reading: Perceptions Of Upper Woodwind Instrumental Students With Dyslexia And Their Approach To Sight-Reading Study, Kristen S. Spiridon 2024 Liberty University

Dyslexia And Sight-Reading: Perceptions Of Upper Woodwind Instrumental Students With Dyslexia And Their Approach To Sight-Reading Study, Kristen S. Spiridon

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

This qualitative hermeneutic phenomenological research study examines the sight-reading abilities and perceptions of eight to ten high school, dyslexic, upper woodwind students from locations in the United States. The study involves students sight-reading an etude that participants had not seen previously. Though studies featuring note reading and dyslexic students are well documented, the literature has not fully addressed this phenomenon among high-school-aged students and upper woodwind students, who regularly encounter the most technically challenging rhythmic figures. The study includes eight to ten dyslexic upper woodwind high school students sightreading the etude and observing their execution. Each student completed a survey …


Dalcroze Eurhythmics: Origin, Development, And Considerations For The Choral Program, LeAnna B. Iddings 2024 Georgia State University

Dalcroze Eurhythmics: Origin, Development, And Considerations For The Choral Program, Leanna B. Iddings

Visions of Research in Music Education

This literature review describes the origin and development of Dalcroze Eurhythmics and the implications of utilizing this approach in the choral rehearsal. This information aims to equip choral directors with knowledge about how Eurhythmics can benefit their pedagogical practices and students’ experiences in choir. Émile Jaques-Dalcroze developed Eurhythmics in the late 19th century to facilitate profound musical learning experiences through mind and body integration. Current literature supports that the three Eurhythmics branches (rhythmics, solfège, and improvisation) can be applied to the choral setting and can impact student engagement, enjoyment, and musical achievement in the choral rehearsal (Butke & Frego, 2021; …
