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

本研究将考察彼得罗·托里（约1650-1737年）的神圣合唱作品，以评估这位迄今为止被忽视的作曲家的重要性，以及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，更广泛地说，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，是选帝侯最受欢迎的音乐家之一，他跟随他来到布鲁塞尔（1692年），并于1715年回到慕尼黑，被任命为霍夫卡佩尔总监，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，宫廷享有重要的声誉，选帝侯不惜花费巨资，聚集了当时一些最熟练、最受尊敬的音乐家。该项目将制作精选的Torri的诗篇和弥撒背景的批评版本，同时研究他对慕尼黑宫廷祈祷音乐的贡献，他对音乐生活的更广泛贡献，以及他对慕尼黑及其他地区的同时代人和后继者的影响。我选择了五件作品，它们适合Ex Cathedra作为一个大型合唱团和管弦乐队的目的。两个弥撒有特别大的管弦乐配乐，其中一个包括四个小号和定音鼓，提供了一个特别有吸引力的现代重建的机会（在宫廷演出将仅限于礼仪节日和假期）。所有的乐谱都是手稿（有些有额外的单独部分），除非另有说明，否则是为SATB合唱团准备的，有管弦乐（和连续）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）。在柏林（数字化）和伦敦的Paratum cor meum Deus （SSATB）。（双SATB唱诗班）在伦敦弥撒C大调-奥托伯伦（部分和乐谱）弥撒D大调-布鲁塞尔（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).
