The text of this poem is from the Trinity Carol Roll, an English manuscript housed at the Wren Library of Trinity College, Cambridge. It is originally in the Norfolk dialect of Middle English but has been modernized for use in this setting. Also, it's macaronic, meaning it combines words from two languages, the other being Latin which was in use by the church when this carol was written. The Latin phrases come from different parts of the Advent/Christmas liturgies; a sequence called Laetabundus, the title of an Introit antiphon called Gaudeamus, and the shepherds response in the gospel of Luke 2:15, Transeamus.

Gaudeamus Transeamus Let us go Luke 2:15 The poet compares the Virgin Mary to a rose. She has a special place among all women in being chosen as the mother of Jesus, and likewise the rose has a special place among all flowers surpassing them in complexity and beauty. The music in this setting mimics the petals of a rose as it blooms. Imagine the petals unfurling over time as does the music which starts in unison for each verse and expands outward into two and three vocal lines with increasingly complex harmonic twists. Word painting is employed in several places but none are as important as the dramatic climax in the fourth verse where the shepherds along with all the angels in heaven proclaim Gloria in excelsis Deo (Glory to God on high).

This collection, similarly to the publication entitled 111 bicinia from the 15th century (EMB 14478), contains longer and shorter two-part excerpts from polyphonic ecclesiastical choral works, for pedagogical and liturgical use. As teaching material, on the one hand it introduces and notes in brief textual definitions the characteristics of each given excerpt: on the other hand, it provides easily usable examples for teaching music history, solfege and counterpoint (practice of intervals, score-reading, dictation, stylistic exercises, etc.) At the same time the movements, which also function as independent units, can be quickly learnt, and may on occasions add colour to themusical palette of the liturgy by introducing material that can be performed even by a children's choir. The volume consists mainly of excerpts taken from Mass movements and Magnificats by Palestrina, Lassus, Gombert, Clemens non Papa and others. A separate chapter is devoted to chorale-based bicinia in German, which were already popular in the initial period of Evangelical church music. Ähnlich der Ausgabe 111 Bicinia aus dem 15. Jahrhundert (EMB 14478) präsentiert diese Sammlung für theoretisch- und praktisch-pädagogische, bzw. liturgische Zwecke mehr oder weniger lange zweistimmige Ausschnitte aus geistlichen Chorwerken Sie stellt als Lehrstoff einerseits die musikalische Charakteristika des jeweiligen Ausschnittes vor und registriert diese in kurzen textlichen Definitionen, andererseits liefert sie Beispiele für den Unterricht der Musikgeschichte, der Solfege- und der Kontrapunkt- Lehre (Intervallübungen, des Lesens vom Blatt, für das Diktieren, für Stilübung usw.), die sich leicht erarbeiten lassen. Gleichzeitig können die auch als eigenständige Einheitfunktionierenden Sätze schnell erlernt werden. Sie bereichern die musikalische Palette der Liturgie (Messe und Offizium) mit dem fallweise auch vom Kinderchor aufführbaren Stoff.

Hail Lovely and Pure is a setting for a cappella chorus of a short poem from The Second Shepherds' Play, an English mystery play written in the 15th century by The Wakeï¬eld Master of Northern England. Mystery (or miracle) plays were a form of medieval drama that represented Biblical subjects such as the Creation and the Last Judgment. The text consists of the ï¬rst lines spoken by the shepherds when they entered the stable to celebrate the birth of Jesus. My brother David C. K. McClelland (1947-1976) translated this fragment from the original Middle English and made a small calligraphic version of it which I discovered among his papers. David probably intended to make a larger, more elaborate manuscript of the poem, though if he did so it has not been found.SATB Chorus, a cappella Duration: 13'30 Composed: 2011 Published by: WMC Music (BMI).

Barcarolles for a Sinking City was inspired by the city of Venice, a place that has long held the fascination of artists, writers and composers, and which I have been lucky enough to visit on several occasions. Sadly it seems that future generations may not be so lucky: in addition to the city's slow sinking and recently discovered tilting, studies predict that if global warming and the resultant rise of ocean levels is unabated, the entire city (as well as many other coastal cities around the globe) will be under water by 2100. I. Funeral Gondola The late, cryptic piano works of Franz Liszt made a profound impression on me as a young composer, among them two works he entitled La Lugubre Gondola (usually translated as The Funeral Gondola ) which were said to be a premonition of Wagner's death in Venice, his coffin transported through the canals in a black gondola. These late pieces of Liszt acquired even greater significance to me after I spent two summers in Bayreuth under the patronage of Friedelind Wagner, the granddaughter of Wagner and great-granddaughter of Liszt. This movement is a meditation on Wagner, Liszt, Venice and its own evanescence. II. Barcarolle/Quodlibet The Quodlibet (Latin for what pleases) is a musical form dating back to the 15th century where many disparate melodies are juxtaposed. Popular in the Renaissance, sacred and secular melodies were combined, often to comical effect due to the resultant incongruity of the words. The form was considered the ultimate test of a composer's mastery of counterpoint. The most famous Quodlibet is without doubt the final Variation of Bach's Goldberg Variations. As a form the Quodlibet is less common in more recent music, although examples can be found in the works of Kurt Weill and David Del Tredici. My own Barcarolle/Quodlibet was inspired by the (perhaps apocryphal) story of the funeral where musicians were asked to play a Bach Choral, but due to miscommunication played instead the Bacarolle from The Tales of Hoffmann. Here, the Bach Choral Allen Menschen mussen sterben (All Men Must Die) is heard in the strings pizzicato, with a tempo indication In slow motion. The alto line of the Bach suggests a phrase from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (Alle Menchen werden Bruder) heard in the muted trombone. Before long, the famous tune from Offenbach's opera is heard, followed by quotations from iconic Barcarolles by Chopin, Mendelssohn and Faure, as well as two Venetian popular songs and more Beethoven. III. Barcarola/Ostinato/Carillon An ostinato is a repeated musical figure, and carillon is Italian for music box. This movement references the obsolete genre of salon pieces that imitated music boxes: such works by composers like Liadov and Gretchaninov used to be a mainstay of pianists' encore repertoire. This movement is however much darker in conception than those pleasant trifles. Utilizing the full battery of percussion, the carefully notated temporal slowing of the ostinato becomes overwhelmed by a poignant chorale melody before this box is snapped shut. IV. Barcarolle Oubliee (Forgotten Barcarolle) Marked limpido (still) the final movement begins with the sound of rain produced by a percussion instrument called (appropriately) a rain stick. Halting phrases in the harp coalesce into the accompaniment for a plangent melody heard in the clarinet. The central Adagio of this movement leads to a shattering climax, before the opening phrases return and dissipate into nothingness.

Antoine Brumel (ca. 1460-ca. 1520) Um 1460 in den franzosischen Niederlanden geboren, wirkte Antoine Brumel 1483 als Vorsanger an der Kathedrale zu Chartres, spater in Laon. 1498-1500 war er Chormeister an Notre-Dame in Paris. Uber Lyon kam er 1505 als Nachfolger Josquins an den Hof Alfonsos I. von Ferrara und starb wahrscheinlich um 1520. Brumel gilt als einer der bedeutendsten ,,Niederlander der Josquin-Generation. Er schrieb uberwiegend Kirchenmusik: Messen (u.a. die 12stimmige Missa ,,Et ecce terrae motus, die noch 1570 in Munchen unter der Leitung Orlando di Lassos aufgefuhrt wurde), Motetten, Magnificat-Vertonungen und Bicinien, ferner einige Chansons. Brumel ist ein Meister des polyphonen Satzes; gelegentlich treten homophone Partien auf (Missa ,,Dringhs). Hans Buchner (1483-1538) Buchner wurde am 26. Oktober 1483 in Ravensburg (Wurttemberg) geboren. Bereits in jungen Jahren kam er nach Augsburg und Innsbruck, wo er Schuler Paul Hofhaimers war. In Wien lernte er in der kaiserlichen Hofkantorei wahrscheinlich Heinrich Isaac und Ludwig Senfl kennen. 1506 wurde Buchner Organist in Konstanz. Er starb im Jahre 1538. Von ihm sind zahlreiche Kompositionen (Orgelwerke, Motetten, Lieder, Tanze) erhalten. Buchners Hauptwerk ist das ,,Fundamentum, ein theoretisch-praktisches Lehrbuch der Orgelspielkunst. Es enthalt Anweisungen zur Improvisation, zum Orgelspiel und zur lntavolierung sowie 145 Orgelkompositionen. Heinrich Finck (1444/45-1527) Finck stammt wahrscheinlich aus Bamberg, wo er um 1444/45 geboren wurde. Uber sein Leben ist wenig bekannt. Er wirkte an der koniglich-polnischen Hofkapelle in Krakau und Warschau, war aber daneben viel auf Reisen. 1510 wurde er Kapellmeister am Hof des Herzogs von Wurttemberg, wirkte spater am erzbischoflichen Hof in Salzburg und erhielt im hohen Alter die Stelle des Hofkapellmeisters Ferdinands I. in Wien, wo er am 9. Juni 1527 starb. Von Heinrich Fincks Kompositionen ist nur ein kleiner Teil uberliefert. An erster Stelle sind seine deutschen Lieder zu nennen; ausserdem schrieb Finck Messen (Missa in summis) und Motetten. Der Komponist gilt als der erste deutsche Grossmeister der Musik. Seine Fruhwerke zeigen zum Teil noch eine karge Dreistimmigkeit mit harten Zusammenklangen; spater wird sein Satz vollklingender, wahrscheinlich unter dem Einfluss der ,,Niederlander (Isaac). Josquin Desprez (ca.1440-1521/24) Josquin ist der beruhmteste Meister seiner Epoche, die nach ihm als Joaquin-Zeit bezeichnet wird. Er wurde um 1440 wahrscheinlich in der Picardie geboren und soll Schuler Ockeghems gewesen sein. 1459-1472 war Josquin Sanger der Mailander Domkantorei, 1473-1479 Mitglied der Kapelle am Hof der Sforza in Mailand. 1486-1494 wird Josquin als Mitglied der papstlichen Sangerkapelle in Rom genannt. Seine Tatigkeit als Chordirektor am Dom zu Cambrai 1495-1499 ist urkundlich nicht gesichert. Er komponierte fur den Hof Konig Ludwigs XII. von Frankreich und fur den Hof der Este in Ferrara. 1502 wurde Josquin von Ercole I. als Kapellmeister nach Ferrara berufen, wo er bis zum Tode des Herzogs (1505) blieb. Sein Nachfolger wurde Brumel. Joaquin kehrte in seine Heimat zuruck und wurde zum Probst der Kirche Notre-Dame in Conde (Hennegau) ernannt. wo er am 27. August 1521 starb. Als Komponist gelangte Josquin bereits zu Lebzeiten zu europaischer Beruhmtheit. Sein Stil beeinflusste das gesamte musikalische Schaffen in Europa bis in die Palestrina-Zeit. Unter seinen Werken sind an erster Stelle die Messen zu nennen (darunter ,,L' homme arme, Missa sine nomine, sein Meisterwerk ,,La sol fa re mi, die zart-lyrische Messe ,,Ave maris stella, die Reprasentationsmesse ,,Hercules Dux Ferrariae und die Spatwerke ,,De beata virgine, ,,Pange lingua und ,,Da pacem); weiterhin schrieb er Motetten (u. a. ,,Stabat mater, ,,Miserere mei, ,,Memor esto verbi tui, ,,De profundis, ,,In exitu Israel, ,,Laudate pueri Dominum) und Chansons (die bekanntesten sind ,,Adieu mes amours, ,,Mille regretz und ,,J' ay bien cause). Josquin ist einer der genialsten Musiker aller Zeiten. Sein streng polyphoner Satz fuhrt konsequent den Stil Ockeghems weiter. Josquin erreicht in seinen Werken die hochste Meisterschaft im konstruktiv-imitatorischen Stil der ,,Niederlander. Gleichzeitig uberwindet er jedoch das nur Artistische dieser Kunst; sein subjektiv gefarbtes, von individuellem Ausdruckswillen bestimmtes Wort-Ton-Verhaltnis wird zum Ideal der Renaissancemusik. Josquins Kompositionslehre wurde 1552 von seinem Schuler Adrian Petit Coclico im ,,Compendium musicae aufgezeichnet. Heinrich Isaac (ca. 1450-1517) Isaac wurde kurz vor 1450 in den Niederlanden geboren. Er war wahrscheinlich Schuler Squarcialupis in Florenz und wirkte in Ferrara und am Hof Lorenzos de' Medici in Florenz. 1484 weilte er gleichzeitig mit Paul Hofhaimer in Innsbruck, war danach bis 1494 wieder in Florenz und wurde 1496 Hofkomponist Maximilians I. in Augsburg und Wien. Er unternahm zahlreiche Reisen (u.a. 1497-1500 an den Hof Friedrichs des Weisen nach Torgau, 1503-1505 zu Ercole I. nach Ferrara). Spater lebte Isaac in Konstanz, wo er sein Motettenwerk ,,Chorale Constantinum (1550 von seinem Schuler Ludwig Senfl herausgegeben) schuf; von 1514 bis zu seinem Tode 1517 lebte er wieder in Florenz. Isaac ist einer der vielseitigsten Musiker seiner Zeit. Er ist in allen musikalischen Nationalstilen sattelfest. Der Bogen seines Schaffens spannt sich vom Konstruktivismus der niederlandischen Polyphonie bis zur anmutigen Intimitat des schlichten Renaissance-Satzes. Isaac schrieb Messen (u. a. die beruhmte ,,Missa carminum), Motetten (,,Chorale Constantinum), Chorlieder und Chorsatze auf deutsche, franzosische und italienische Texte (sein Satz ,,Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen wurde weltberuhmt) sowie Instrumentalsatze. Johannes Martini (1430/40-ca.1500) Der um 1430/40 in Flandern geborene Komponist wirkte 1474 neben Josquin und Compere an der Mailander Hofkapelle. 1475 wurde er Mitglied der Hofkapelle zu Ferrara, wo er noch 1492 tatig war. Sein Todesjahr ist unbekannt. Nach 1500 wird Martini nicht mehr in den Listen bekannter Komponisten gefuhrt. Von Martini sind Messen, Motetten und Chansons uberliefert, die stilistisch von Dufay und Ockeghem beeinflusst sind. Eine gewisse Erstarrung des Stils ist unverkennbar. Gregor Meyer (ca. 1510-1576) Meyer wurde um 1510 in Sackingen geboren und wirkte um 1535 bis 1558 als Organist in Solothurn, 1561 bis zu seinem Tode 1576 am Munster zu Basel. Auf Veranlassung Glareans schrieb Meyer fur dessen ,,Dodekachordon (1547) zahlreiche Kompositionsbeispiele; ausserdem sind in anderen Sammlungen einige Kanons, Motetten, einzelne Messsatze und kirchliche und weltliche Lieder erhalten. Jacob Obrecht (1450/51-1505) Als einziger der grossen ,,Niederlander stammt Obrecht aus dem nordniederlandischen Raum; er wurde wahrscheinlich am 22. November 1450 in Bergen op Zoom geboren. 1476-1478 war er Chormeister in Utrecht, 1479-1484 in seiner Heimatstadt. 1484/85 wirkte er als Kapellmeister an der Kathedrale in Cambrai und anschliessend in Brugge. 1487/88 besuchte Obrecht den Hof Ercoles I. von Ferrara. 1492 finden wir ihn als Chormeister an Notre-Dame zu Antwerpen, 1496 in Bergen op Zoom, 1498 in Brugge. 1500 schied er krankheitshalber aus dem Dienst und lebte bis 1504 in Antwerpen. Auf einer Reise nach Ferrara starb er im Jahre 1505 (angeblich an der Pest). Von Obrechts Kompositionen sind etwa 25 Messen (darunter ,,Maria zart, ,,L' homme arme, ,,Caput, ,,Je ne demande, ,,Fortuna desperata), Motetten und Chansons auf niederlandische, franzosische und italienische Texte uberliefert. Obrecht gehort mit Josquin, lsaac und Pierre de la Rue zu den Grossmeistern der Josquin-Zeit. Er setzt die Polyphonie Dufays und Ockeghems fort, doch spielen bei ihm die Durchimitation wie auch das bei Josquin stark ausgepragte Wort-Ton-Verhaltnis eine geringe Rolle. Obrechts Musik ist durch ihre vitale Kraft, Spontaneitat des Ausdrucks, klare Periodenbildung, den Hang zum vollen harmonischen Satz und ein neues Tonalitatsbewusstsein gekennzeichnet. Im Spatwerk ist der Einfluss des volkstumlichen italienischen Liedes festzustellen. Obrechte ausgepragter Penonalstil ist so unnachahmlich, dass er keine Fortsetzer fand. Nicht zu Unrecht wird Obrecht als der grosse ,,Aussenseiter zwischen den Perioden Dufay-Ockeghem und Josquin-Isaac bezeichnet. Marbrianus de Orto (ca. 1450-1529) Orto stammt moglicherweise ebenfalls aus Flandern; sein Geburtsjahr ist nicht bekannt. 1484-1494 war er gleichzeitig mit Josquin papstlicher Kapellsanger in Rom, spater (1505) am Hofe Philipps des Schonen von Burgund. Orto starb 1529 in Nivelles. Von ihm sind Messen, Motetten und Chansons erhalten. Vermutlich redigierte er wahrend seines romischen Aufenthaltes gemeinsam mit Josquin die Bearbeitung Duf'ayscher Hymnen. Ortos Messen reichen nicht an die Spitzenleistungen seiner Zeit (Josquin, Obrecht) heran; bedeutender sind seine Motetten, wie etwa die Motette ,,Ave Maria, die Petrucci 1501 an die Spitze seines ,,Odhecaton stellte, und die Vergil-Motette ,,Dulces exuviae.

Antônio Francisco Braga (1868-1945) belongs to the generation of Brazilian composers of the first republican period, aesthetically tied to romanticism, alongside Henrique Oswald (1852-1931), Leopoldo Miguez (1850-1902), Glauco Velásquez (1884-1914), and Barrozo Neto (1881-1941). Born in Rio de Janeiro, on April 15th, 1868, he began his musical studies at the Asilo dos Meninos Desvalidos, in 1876. In 1883, he enrolled at the Imperial Conservatório de Música where he studied harmony and counterpoint with Carlos de Mesquita – a former student of César Franck, Durand, and Massenet – and clarinet with Antônio Luís de Moura.
