Giving New Voices to Old Music: Baroque Vocal music (Pietro Torri's Sacred Choral Works at the Court of Elector Maximillian II Emanuel)

这项研究将考察皮埃特罗·托里(Pietro Torri，约1650-1737)的神圣合唱作品，以评估这位迄今被忽视的作曲家的重要性，以及他对慕尼黑马克西米利安二世伊曼纽尔宫廷合唱音乐的贡献，更广泛地说，他对这一时期的贡献。托里于1689年加入马克斯·伊曼纽尔的宫廷，是选举人最珍视的音乐家之一，跟随他来到布鲁塞尔(1692年)和回到慕尼黑(1715年)，当时他被任命为霍夫卡佩尔总监，并对宫廷音乐的方方面面产生了重大影响。宫廷享有欧洲最杰出的音乐中心之一的声誉，选举人不遗余力地召集了一些当时最熟练和最受尊敬的音乐家。这个项目将创作一些托里诗篇和弥撒场景的评论版本，以及一篇考察他在慕尼黑宫廷对虔诚音乐的贡献，他对音乐生活的更广泛贡献，以及他对慕尼黑和其他地方的同时代和继任者的影响的论文。我选择了五部作品，这些作品适合前大教堂作为一个大型合唱团和管弦乐队的目的。有两个弥撒有特别宏大的管弦乐配乐，其中一个包括四个小号和定音鼓，为特别有吸引力的现代重建提供了机会(在宫廷上的表演将仅限于礼拜节日和节假日)。所有乐谱都是手稿(有些还有额外的单独部分)，除非另有说明，否则是为SATB合唱团伴奏的。Confitebor-(女高音独唱/SATB)位于斯特拉斯堡、柏林(数字化)和德累斯顿(部分数字化)。柏林(数字化)和伦敦(SSATB)的Paratum cor meum Deus(SSATB)-C大调伦敦马萨诸塞州(Double SATB合唱团)-奥托贝伦(部件和乐谱)D大调弥撒-布鲁塞尔(部件和乐谱)。

This study will examine sacred choral works by Pietro Torri (c. 1650-1737) in order to assess the importance of this hitherto neglected composer and his contribution to choral music at the court of Elector Maximillian II Emanuel in Munich, and more generally to the period. Torri joined Max Emanuel's court in 1689 and was amongst the Elector's most prized musicians, following him to Brussels (1692) and back to Munich (1715) when he was appointed Hofkapelldirektor and held significant influence over all aspects of court music. The court enjoyed a significant reputation as one of the most brilliant musical centres in Europe, and the Elector spared no expense in gathering some of most skilled and highly- regarded musicians of the day. This project will create critical editions of a selected number of Torri's psalm and mass settings, alongside a thesis examining his contribution to devotional music at the Munich court, his broader contribution to musical life, and his impact on his contemporaries and successors both in Munich and beyond.I have selected five works, which suit the purposes of Ex Cathedra as a large choir and orchestra. Two masses have particularly grand orchestral scoring, with one including four trumpets and timpani, providing the opportunity for a particularly attractive modern reconstruction (performance at court would have been limited to liturgical feast days and holidays). All scores are in manuscript (some with additional separate parts) and are for SATB choir unless otherwise stated with orchestral/string (and continuo) accompaniment.Confitebor - (solo soprano/SATB) located in Strasbourg, Berlin (digitised) and Dresden (parts - digitised). Paratum cor meum Deus - (SSATB) in Berlin (digitised) and London.Deus in adjutorium - (Double SATB choir) in London Mass in C major -in Ottobeuren (parts and score) Mass in D major -in Brussells (parts and score).
