Comparison Of Giovanni Pierluigi Da Palestrina And Dunstable

The main objective in the performance of Renaissance music is that everything done by the singer is subservient to the text. Musicians of the Renaissance were fixated on the concept of music serving the text. Composers set poems to text attempting to imitate natural speech and inflection pattern in the rhythms of the music, and wished to write the music in such a way that the words could be understood. Singers should strive toward clear diction, making sure their vowel shapes and ornamentation do not obscure the text.

c)Formal and musical analysis with respect to the Concerto Form in the Classical Style (As a precursor of Romantic Age)

“In a comparative study of texts we see that the connections between texts are realised through the different textual forms used by each composer.”

The Italian and Northern Renaissance share a few common things in terms of their artwork. However, they also have many differences. I will be focusing on the differences between these two renaissances. Some of the differences include the main forms of medium that they used, their subject matter, and what each era was known for. I will be talking about these three differences, and will also provide examples.

Music has been around for ages and still plays a critical role in everyone’s life. During the Medieval period, many turned to the arts and music to cope with the hardships of that time. The history of music is best told by the styles that emerged and the composers who lived during the Medieval period. One composer, by the name of Hildegard Von Bingen, changed the way people saw music during this time. In this essay, I will analyze "O Virtus Sapientiae” by Hildegard Von Bingen.

Early eighteenth century marked the beginning of the middle period, which was said to be the most productive period out of his three compositional periods as some of his most magnificent works were produced during this time (Lockwood, 194). In this paper, I will examine the heroic style - why it came about, what are some characteristics of ‘heroic’ music and through the analysis of a ‘product of the times’ (Taruskin) , compare the differences between the music of the heroic style and that of before. The middle period is also known as the heroic period from 1803 – 1812 is after the Viennese period and before the Late

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni is considered to be one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. Michelangelo was a sculptor, painter who was born on March 6, 1475, in Caprese, Italy. He’s family mean of living was due to a banking business. Michelangelo didn’t show interest in the family’s business or school in general. What makes Michelangelo special, is that he was the first artist to be recognized during his life, not post death, including his biography was published when he was still living. Michelangelo created art work with blends of, psychology, physical realism and passion which was a breath of fresh art. This help him be commissioned by some of the wealthiest of men during the Renaissance.

Palestrina is recognized today as one of the fathers who revolutionized church music. His most famous piece is Missa Papae Marcelli which recognized Pope Marcellus II. And it is played at masses around the

This work was composed during the Classical period, 1750- 1820. One aspect of the classical music style beign applied to this work includes the reoccurance of two or more contrasting themes. Another is the use of short and clearly defined musical phrases. Lastly, this piece, on a purely musical level, was simply more to hum along to. This type of melody took over the complex polyphony of the Baroque period.

First of all, the baroque is known by the exaggerated uses of ornamental decorations in their compositions. These ornaments were exposed in all types of art at that time as: painting, architecture, sculpture and music. In addition, baroque music uses a tonal harmony that produces musical contrast in high levels. This contrast is a very important element in the dramatic aspects of the baroque music, and it was reflected through the melody and texture of the compositions. Furthermore, the most important characteristics in the Baroque music style were the basso continuo and a simple melody with chord accompaniment. Those elements provided a variety of compositions with better stability in the harmony. Moreover, the music of this period presented the counterpoint and polyphony, two elements which caused movement in the melody, and also created expectations and captured the attention of those who listened to that music. On the other hand, romantic music is known for his great expressiveness in their compositions. This expressiveness allows to the composers, add their feelings and emotions to their music. Furthermore, the romantic music was showed a depletion of the capacity of tonal music, so it was passed to the trend of atonal music. Moreover, this kind of music presented a great use of melody, which was responsible to capture the beauty of the written music and as well

“Castiglioni Gutman 1952-2016” CD is an homage paid to Niccolò Castiglioni (1932-1996), on the twentieth anniversary of his disappearance, that draws an invisible line connecting the date of the first composition of the Master to that of the last composition of his pupil Delilah Gutman. The album opens with Alef Tango (2016) by Delilah Gutman, a piece inspired by and dedicated to the theme of the musical note Inedito by Castiglioni (1993), the CD second track; following Così parlò Baldassarre (1981) and Undici Danze per la Bella Verena (1996) by Castiglioni, alternate with Sette Canti d’Acqua (2011) and 6 Songs in the Mirror by Gutman, that reflect how profound is her search for sound landscapes and the use of the voice in its different composition

Beginning with the Renaissance (1400-1600) we see a change in the subject matter being portrayed by artists of the time. We can attribute this change not only to the change in patrons, from the Christian church to wealthy bankers and politicians, but also to the growing body of scientific knowledge. “The Renaissance was
