Musae Iovis:
Four Generations of Franco-Flemish Composers, 1450-1550

Friday, January 24, 2003; Powell Library Rotunda

Between 1450 and 1550 several generations of Franco-Flemish church and court musicians achieved international fame, emerging as a recognized “school” of Northern European composers of sacred and secular music. This concert features the music of over a dozen Franco-Flemish masters, including pieces by Gilles Binchois, Johannes Ockeghem, Josquin Desprez, Nicolas Gombert, and their contemporaries, in a program arranged around a series of laments composed by students in honor of their teachers.

Masques & Monody:
Nicholas Lanier and the Italian Style
Friday May 10, 2002; Powell Library Rotunda

Though many English composers of the early seventeenth century were aware of and influenced by Italian musical styles, composer Nicholas Lanier (1588-1666) is credited with introducing the Italian technique of recitative into England. The epitome of this Italian influence in the musical setting of English w
ords is Lanier’s Hero and Leander, composed on his return from Venice in 1628. This concert explores the differing musical senses of the self as displayed in music, contrasting the importation of the courtly musical subjectivity in the musical settings of Italian composers such as Luca Marenzio, Sances, and Giulio Caccini with the music of English composers Nicholas Lanier, ThomasWeelkes, Alonso Ferrabosco II, John Coperario, and John Wilson.

Voices, Signs, & Symbols:
Medieval and Renaissance Song

Friday January 25, 2002; Powell Library Rotunda

Medieval and Renaissance vocal music is inextricably linked with its notation, but notation is only on half of the music. The spaces provided early modern composers through unwritten performance practice, such as the singerly practice of “false music,” invite a modern en-voicing of these signs and symbols.

Spanning from the late fifteenth century to the late sixteenth century, this concert explores the medieval and renaissance vocal music both as musical objects of cultural exchange and as windows into another world. This concert also includes projected visuals to accompany the performance.

Jonathan Greenberg, Sara Gross, Gordon Haramaki, Erik Leidal, Louis Niebur, Caroline O'Meara, Erica Scheinberg, Jacqueline Warwick
