Ave Virgo sanctissima
FranciscoGuerrero 1532-1585
Although his music is relatively neglected today, Francisco Guerrero was second in importance only to Victoria during the Spanish Renaissance.Unlike many of his contemporaries. Guerrero received rus musical training in Spain. rather than Rome. studying with his older brother Pedro and. more importantly. Crist6bal de Morales. He taught himself to play the vihuela (a Spanish predecessor of the guitar), cornet and organ. At the recommendation of Morales, Guerrero was appointed maestro decapi11a at laen Cathedral at only 17yearsofage. Hewent on to serve in the same position at the Seville Cathedral. a post he held until his death The effort and money he invested in publishing his music paid off in a
certain degree of fame during his lifetime, becoming known as far away as South America. Indeed. his music remained widely performed in the cathedrals of Spain and New Spain for more than 200 years after his death. His setting of Ave Virgo sanctissima is a fine example of High Renaissance motet composition, drawing the primary melody from plainsong and developing it imitatively in all vocal parts.
II
Tirsi morirvolea
Andrea Gabrieli 1532-1585
Andrea Gabrieli - more famous Giovanni of the same surname - was a leading figure in the musical culture of Renaissance Venice. Like other preeminent composers of the time, the elder Gabrieli was equally comfortable in sacred and secular
spheres. and his skill as a composer is observed equally in his polychoral motets for San Marco and the bawdiest of his madrigals. In Tirsi morir volea, (with a poem by Guarini) Gabrieli persistently and quite evidently plays on the common Renaissance poetic device of equating -dying" with the notion of sexual climax. Seeninthislightthe madrigalrepresents a masterpiece of understated eroticism. In the manner of his double-choir sacred works. Gabrieli uses seven parts. divided into three-pius-four. to create a sensual dialogue between the shepherd Tirsi (represented by the lower voices) and thenymphClori- twoardentlC/'lerswho -return to life in order to die again,"
Quando nascesti. m a r ?
Adrian Willaert 1490-1562
When Adrian Willaert was appointed as maestro di cappella of San Marco - a position he seems to have come upon through special intervention of the Doge - Venice was rivaled in her musical excellence only by private patrons maintaining chapelsparticularlyintended for the singing of polyphonic masses. So well-loved was Willaert's style that he was called by many contemporaries -the new Pythagoras." His perfection of both JXIlyphonic and JXIlychorai styles led contemporary writer Andrea Calmo to effuse."your music, mydearest mend has been distilled in seven alembis, purified in nine waters, and refined in flames·- high alchemical praise for transformative music . His madrigal compositions are beautifully nuanced interpretations of text; in the follClW'ing two selections. the comJXlSE'r sets sonnets. Quando nascesti. Arnor? uses two groups of voices in a JXIlychorai style to create a dialog on the origins of love. The text is a sonnet by

Dime S8 tanto amate
Caudio Monteverdi 1567-1643
Monteverdi's eight books of madrigals span the stylistic gamut from Marenzio-inspired early works to later, groundbreaking continuo madrigals almost akin to dramatic cantatas. From Monteverdi's 1603collection of Madrigals (Book IV), Dime se tanto amate shows the composer clearly looking fOIWard. Line, harmony, and tempo are subservient to the text more often than not. There are early examples of stile rappresentativo - rhythmic declamations of words and phrases in a natural rhythm. dictated by the cadence of speech more than by note valuesorcounterpoint(anearlyprecursor to operatic recitative). Melody is often set clearly in one or two voices. while others supply harmonic support and energy to amplify the emotion in the text. Such is often the case in this selection. which represents the culmination of nearly every halhnark Venetian element of style - iIwentiveharmony,subtlecounterpoint witty double entendre, and wonderfully imaginative text painting.

Felix Mendelssohn 1009-1847
The Mendelssohn family hailed from Hamburg. Germany - at the time an independent city-state - and had four children. Fanny and Felix each showed extraordinary promise as musicians at a very young age. playingthepianofromearly childhood and composing major works by the advent of their respective teenage years. Fannywas considered for some time tobethesuperiormusicianandtheirshared musical tutor and mentor (Carl Friedrich , ZeIter) spoke of her quite favorably. She "> complSed well CNer 400 pieces of music in "o her lifetime but was ultimately beholden • totimeandplace- itwasnotconsidered acceptable for a woman to have a musical career, thus her efforts were restricted to chamber music. Nonetheless, her works
have endured earning her a place as one of the best-understood female composers from the period. 'Schone Fremde: from Gorten1ieder, displays her gifts for melody and playful text painting. setting at text by Eichendorff.
Felix Mendelssohn wrote his Secm Lieder just before 1840. Scholars often remarkthatthecomposer'sshorterworks succeed in emotional intensity where longer works are lacking -certainly in "Wasserfahrt: he captures the dreary atmosphere and melancholy mood of

In his 70s, Leos Janacek was younger at heart than many people half his age. Many of his greatest works were written at a point in life when other composers slow down, if they don't stop working altogether. This late efflorescence had a lot to do with an encounter in 1917 that changed Janacek life forever.The composer, who had just begun to emerge from many years of artistic neglect with t he sensational Prague premiere of his operaJemifa. met ayoungwoman named Kamila Sti:isslova at a spa in Moravia. He was 63, she 26.They were both married- she had two young children. JanaCek fell passionately in love. Rejuvenated by his feelings for Kamila he completed in the space of a decade, four operas, two piano concertos. t he Sinfonietto, the Glogolitic Moss,andtwostringquartets.Thesecond of these, Iisty duvbne (Intimate Letters~ which Janacek originally wanted to call "Love Letters,· is t he most directreflection of this remarkable relationship, in which
few other of his works) he included both scherzo and minuet, eliminating the slow movement instead. It is true, though, that the kScherzo· has the form. if not the tempo, of a slow movement; with its fugal beginning. it would appear to be a close cousin of t he kAndante· from Symphony No.1 . Scored in a bright and sunny C Major, it also has the wit and ingeniosity of many a Beethovenian scherzo.
With t he kMenuetto: we are back in c minor and accordingly, it is a serious and brooding piece, whose atmosphere is only temporarily relieved by a more light-hearted trio inA-flat Major.Theway t he conclusion of t he trio is left open to

techniques and ways of looking at the world through music.
Diabelli's waltz reached Beethoven in t he early months of 1819, at a time when t he composer was completely deaf, and had to rely on conversation books to communicate with the outside world. The waltz melody has generated a certain amount of controversy in the Beethoven literature; some felt it to betrite and banaL others. like the influential Donald Francis Tovey,founditNrich in solidmusical facts." In any case, the waltz ignited Beethoven's imagination. and within a fev-.r months, he had composed more than half of the variations. Then he set the project aside, and apparently didn't touch it for about three-and-a-half years. During that time, hewrote his monumental Missa Solenmis and the last three piano sonatas. two of which contain sublime sets of variations. He returned to Diabelli's waltz in late 1822 or early 1823 and finished the work

For Beethoven, writing variation sets involved an ongoing quest to uncover hidden complexities behind apparently simple surfaces. That quest. to be sure, informs all his music, and variation procedures - constant modifications of an initial theme or rhythmic pattern - are present everywhere in his oeuvre. Yet sometimes Beethoven chose to focus exclusively on t he variation idea and when he did so. he transformed t he somev-.rhat mundane genre he inherited fromhispredecessorsintoatranscendent and deeply personal form of expression.

Significantly,the lastvariationiswhat William Kindennan. in his masterful 1987 study of the Diabelli Variations,describes as a kfinal spiritualized reminiscence of Diabelli's country dance as a Minuet with all the grace of the classical minuets of Mozart: But Beethoven doesn't stay in the Mozartian mode for very long; soon enough. he launches into a virtuosic coda that recalls. if anything. the end of the pianosonataOp.111.
Musicologist Maynard Salomon has called the Diabelli Variations a klong journey: a kPilgrim's Progress on a Biedermeier waltz: The journey has taken the traveler far from the point of departure. The return to the dance rhythm at the end of this journey marks a homecoming but the complexity of the codaseNes as a symbol that we can never go back to our point of origin - we have inevitably been transformed by what we have experienced during our voyage.
0 variations are unabashedly humoristic,
like t he very first one, a pompous march with startling harmonic clashes between t he right and the left hands. Conventional figurative ornamentation is almost entirely absent from the work, which introduces a large number of innovative virtuoso techniques instead. including large blocks of chords, fast 16th-note runs. and imitative counterpoint as in the short fughetta of variation No. 24 and the monumental fugue just before the end. Textural diversity and contrast is what propels t he work forward as flamboyant variations in fast tempo alternate with lyrical or introspective ones. Dramatic interruptions, extended trills and mysteriously slow chord progressions reveal unsuspected possibilities only Beethoven could have seen in Diabelli's innocent little waltz. A particularly felicitous association of t houghts made
