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

本研究将探讨神圣合唱作品彼得罗托里（c。1650-1737），以评估这位迄今被忽视的作曲家的重要性和他对慕尼黑选帝侯马克西米利安二世伊曼纽尔宫廷合唱音乐的贡献，以及更普遍的时期。托里于1689年加入马克斯·伊曼纽尔的宫廷，是选帝侯最珍贵的音乐家之一，跟随他到布鲁塞尔（1692年）和回到慕尼黑（1715年），当时他被任命为宫廷音乐总监，对宫廷音乐的各个方面都有重大影响。作为欧洲最辉煌的音乐中心之一，宫廷享有很高的声誉，选帝侯不惜重金召集了当时一些最熟练、最受尊敬的音乐家。这个项目将创建一个选定的Torri的诗篇和群众设置的关键版本，同时论文审查他的贡献，在慕尼黑法院的虔诚音乐，他的音乐生活的更广泛的贡献，以及他对他的同时代人和继任者的影响，无论是在慕尼黑和超越。我选择了五个作品，这适合前大教堂作为一个大型合唱团和管弦乐队的目的。两个弥撒曲有特别宏伟的管弦乐配乐，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（在法庭上的表演将仅限于礼拜节日和假日）。所有乐谱均为手稿（有些带有额外的单独部分），除非另有说明，否则为SATB合唱团提供管弦乐/弦乐（和通奏）伴奏。Confitebor -（独奏女高音/SATB）位于斯特拉斯堡，柏林（数字化）和德累斯顿（部分-数字化）。Paratum cor meum Deus -（SSATB）在柏林（数字化）和伦敦。Deus在adjutorium -（双SATB合唱团）在伦敦弥撒C大调-奥托博伦（部分和乐谱）弥撒D大调-塞萨尔（部分和乐谱）。

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).
