[LUTE] Re: French trill

2009-02-01 Thread Mathias Rösel
 In fact, an appoggiatura on the root is not uncommon, and does not 
 obscure anything.

As a matter of fact, it does ;)

 Charpentier, in fact, specifically writes the figure Sharp eight

Don't know where is that, but Jerzy cited another example, i. e. Chahos
by Rebel. So there are examples in specil cases.

 --and there are examples from many different styles, with many 
 different harmonic implications.

Would you mind to name just one? See, I'm not a prof, as I said. Yet
just because a prof says many I don't see that tips the scales. Many
without chaper and verse IMO is what Wikpedians call weasel words.
Sorry, no offense intended.

 Lastly, the ninth chord is in itself a permanent appoggiatura, and 
 the 9th strengthens the root--it is a very clear and forceful chord. 

You could say the same about a 4th suspension. Arnold Schönberg wrote a
tombeau on occasion of Gustav Mahler's death (op. 19, Nr. 6, June 17th
1911). That piece is full of unresolved (correct word?) 4th chords. I
said so when we heard that piano piece at school, but the teacher would
bark at me that there was nothing unresolved, and I should come out of
the baroque ghetto.

 Pieces beginning on a ninth chord go back to the middle ages, like 
 pas de tor of Machaut.

Machault is an exceptional composer, as I hope you will agree, and this
is an exceptional piece (Fronimo score at
http://www.gerbode.net/ft2/composers/Machaut/pas_de_tor/pas_de_tor_3.ft3
). Are you suggesting there is nothing special to a ninth on the first
chord in a baroque dance because Machault already had this in one of his
triums some 300 years before? (I assume you're not suggesting this, I
just want to make myseelf clear.)

Yes, somewhen in due course. I'm not against ninths, I sometimes accept
and enjoy them ;) The point at issue is, however, whether an ornament
should put up the ninth before the actual root was heard.

[LUTE] Re: French trill

2009-02-01 Thread Mathias Rösel
 I wasn't looking for the one and only appropiate execution of
commas.

 The one and only appropiate execution shouldn't exist in music, and  
 best if we end up with different solutions! For the welfare of United  
 Colours of B... aroque Music.

 I'm suspicious that what I was actually looking for, was some
support
 for the execution of commas as simple trills.

 Here is a salvation:
 If the music was by or for the Bocquets, then Mersenne (1635/6)  
 solves the problem. In an English translation (Martinus Nijhoff /The  
 Hague 1957 /repr. 1964) on page 107 he says:
 
 IV. On the ornamentation.
 ………
 Now the one which is formed in this fashion: , is called “shake”  
 ordinarily, and most people use no other character to express all the  
 different sorts [[JZ: sic!, meaning both upper and lower auxiliary,  
 with two or more notes?]]; that is why I have not wished to change  
 it, since it is familiar to everyone, so as not to use any novelty if  
 it is not useful. But there are still other ornamentations which they  
 call _accens plaintifs_, _martelemens_, _verves cassez_, and  
 _battemens_, as we shall see at the end of this treatise. [[JZ: now -- 
  ]] As for the first marked by this comma and used on the open  
 string, it is necessary to consider two things for executing it well,  
 that is, that the finger tip of the left hand, which ought to make  
 this ornamentation, be well upon the string on which it is to be made  
 and that the finger not be lifted from above the sad string, so that  
 one perceives only that it has been played by the right hand. [...]

Notwithstanding that Nijhoff renders the name as shake, the
description rather comes down to vibrato, no?

 But now, in the light of this, I'd have another problem -- what to do  
 with the next note (only melodic), also with the come after it. Shall  
 we play too a simple trill or appogiatura from above (which I never  
 liked in such situations) or perhaps from below, if Mersenne allowes  
 the coma to express all the different sorts of ornaments -- ?

In general, I prefer to play appogiature from the direction I'm coming,
except the prescriptive sign reads otherwise.

 But if the source is late (say 1680) and the ornamental signs are  
 from Brossard rather (or understood his way) then I wouldn't be quite  
 sure about the simple trill from the main note. Now maybe DGautier,  
 Gallot or Mouton is a better prompter -- ?

That's what I meant to say by so there are some 30 years between this
copy and its possible authors. 30 years of change in style and
aesthetics...

 And what if a piece be called La Belle Homicide and found in the  
 Augsburg fantastic JBHagen Collection, what is actually the case with  
 the Beautifull Criminal -- ?!

Not sure if I got you right... LBHom starts with an upbeat that almost
completely sets the stage for what is to come. And what actually comes
on the 1st beat of the 1 measure, is a play on 6th vs. 5th above the
root. LBH is my favourite courante, but the beginning isn't exactly
daring IMHO.

 On the other side perhaps is Frederick Neumann (Ornamentation  
 in baroque and post baroque music: With Special Emphasis on J. S.  
 Bach, 1983) who's shown good number of very nice exceptions and in  
 fact, for some, definitely broke the magic rule.

Thanks a lot for this hint! See, I'm not a prof like some others on this
list.

 But here you have a different sign, a cross, which can be an inverted  
 mordent or appogiatura from below -- I'd like the last one much  
 here! ...But first I'd have to look at Mersenne again ;-)))

Lacking a copy of Mersenne, I looked at the CNRS explanatory table. They
say it's a mordent, and I like that, too, especially with an appogiatura
^_^

The problem is, it is a long note and a simple ''shake/trill''  
concisting of three notes (as one can surmise from Mersenne twisting  
description) biginning from the main note, is not enough. It is a  
long note and long notes invite something extra, something special.


The well known Lacrimae by JD also in some sources begins with an  
ornamental sign on the third of its first chord (it is also a doted  
crochet). Does the Bocquet's Allemande (1640-1680) belongs to the  
earlier performance tradition (lets call it Dowland-Mersenne) or to  
the later one (say Brossard-Mouton)?


I think it may be a question of our very personal taste and stylistic  
preference. Each style, to be rendered convincingly, needs to be  
very, very familiarized with it. A quick, intensive research is not  
enough. Sometime an answer to a tiny problem is somewhere between  
lines, to be rediscovered through years, and most refinements are  
permanently lost. Ornamentation is such a refinement.


But lets not forget about ouerseves. Here and Now! We can not only  
keep reproducing the lost art, but also continue the ''school'' and  
bring forward new refinements. In fact sometinme it can be the only  
feasible thing, however some will insiste to call it HIP.

Of course, the paradox concernes us, creators and consumers of music  
and our vision of the modern phenomenon called ''historical music''.  
It is a fancy interplay between science and art, it's a modern thing  
in music history -- isn't it?, and in a way quite logically it's  
''modern music'' as well, however strange it may sound to all.

You should check out Bruce Haynes book The end of early music, it is a
great antidote to the recent crisis that the HIP movement received from
Taruskin's writings.

You can read a few pages here

[LUTE] Re: Rousseau - was: French trill?

2009-02-01 Thread Andreas Schlegel
The most powerful statement on HIP I know was written in 1768 by Jean- 
Jacques Rousseau in his Dictionnaire de musique, art. Notation p.  
324:

He speaks about concerts with antique Greek music:

Nous la (la notation des Grecs) pourrions déchiffrer tout aussi  
exactement que les Grecs mêmes auroient pu faire : mais la phraser,  
l'accentuer, l'entendre, la juger; voilà ce qui n'est plus possible à  
personne  qui ne le deviendra jamais. En toute Musique, ainsi qu'en  
toute Langue, déchiffrer  lire sont deux choses très-différentes.

Perhaps somebody can tranlate it - but be careful, because phrase  
and accent are keywords for the thinking of Rousseau. See those  
articles.

 should apply myself the same mental disease?

 Obviously 25 years ago, when I was reading with flushes on my face  
 all available (and unavailable) sources, listening to the stars of  
 EM, giving interviews with myself (oh, yes)... I thought the early  
 music movement will last for ever ;-)) Now I've happily forgotten  
 3/4 of those books and the feeling of a mission. Music will always  
 be fresh and modern, whatever you could say about a particular  
 style or a piece. One thing is well to remember -- we are  
 permanently reproducing the past, either conciously or  
 unconciously, including the music (not only since 1950s or 60s),  
 just reproducing in different clothes. And in music, as in arts,  
 the dress is the thing. So I wear my music as I like or am able...

 But I know ''the sources'', only my mics are not that good ;-))

I couldn't agree more.  It's a very good read.  Although Haynes is a
strong advocate for the writing of new music in the Baroque style,
which makes me balk a little bit.  I'd rather go to original 17th- or
18th-Century sources than try to deal with French trills in something
written last Tuesday.
