  It is very common for reviewers to be late with their copy or indeed not ever to write the review at all. But I seem to come into that rare category of those who write a review and then forget to send it in. In this case, the review (fortuitously also for M&L) was of Ido Abravaya’s On Bach’s Rhythm and Tempo (Bärenreiter, 2006). Julia Dokter’s exhaustive new study relates to very similar issues, but Abravaya and Dokter are almost the polar opposi…

• Before the Baton

  Open Access•John Butt•ARTICLE•Music and Letters•2021

  Incluir item

  ‘Dedicated to all unwilling victims of the baton’—such a dedication surely promises a rant, and a rant is certainly what we get. Peter Holman’s overriding mission in producing the most comprehensive survey of directing practices in Britain up to the mid-nineteenth century is to suggest that the practice of musical direction went from a consensual, democratic model towards one of total autocracy. The baton, that white stick which the conductor wie…

• Monteverdi, the 1610 Vespers and the Beginnings of the Modern Musical Work

  Open Access•John Butt•ARTICLE•Journal of the Royal Musical…•2018

  Incluir item

  The elevated status of Monteverdi's 1610 Vespers over the last century provides the starting point for an enquiry into which factors render it so durable. In going against the grain of recent attempts to discern the possible liturgical context for its original performance, this study claims that the collection as a whole (components of which undoubtedly had liturgical origins) can only be exemplary. Moreover, Monteverdi, in his intense engagement…

• Bach's Dialogue with Modernity

  Open Access•John Butt•BOOK•Bach's Dialogue with Modernity•2010

  Incluir item

  Providing a detailed analysis of Bach's Passions, this 2010 book represents an important contribution to the debate about the culture of 'classical music', its origins, priorities and survival. The angles from which each chapter proceeds differ from those of a traditional music guide, by examining the Passions in the light of the mindsets of modernity, and their interplay with earlier models of thought and belief. While the historical details of …

• Do Musical Works Contain an Implied Listener? Towards a Theory of Musical Listening

  Open Access•John Butt•ARTICLE•Journal of the Royal Musical…•2010

  Incluir item

  This study presents the sketch of a theory of musical listening based on historical considerations of the role of music in Western culture. A universal element of musical listening might lie in the notion that all music is the product of a fundamental human capacity to hear, harnessed in countless ways by diverse cultures. Secondly, there is the type of music, covering very broad historical and cultural boundaries, that presupposes attentive list…

  This study examines some of the ways in which it was possible to understand emotion in Lutheran church music of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It suggests that emotion related to music more through association and contextual factors than through a fixed relationship, thus explaining the ways in which musical passages and techniques could be taken from a secular context to serve a sacred purpose. With these factors in mind, it is …

• J. S. Bach

  John Butt•ARTICLE•Music and Letters•2008

  Incluir item

  With the flurry of Bach biographies and interpretations of his works generated around the anniversary of 2000, there is no obvious way in which a new biography can present much factual content that is not available elsewhere. There have been some spectacular new source discoveries, both in Kiev and, closer to home, in Weimar, but these tend to confirm, rather than radically alter, the picture that is already in place. Recent biographies distingui…

  His Majesty is . . . inclined to appoint some eminent musician [as Master of the King's Music], but the question arises as to who this should be. Sir Edward Elgar has applied for the post and . . . it seems difficult to resist his claims. At the same time it is generally thought that Vaughan Williams is the most representative of British Music; Elgar having always adopted German methods.(sir fredrick ponsonby, 1924)

  Edward Elgar occupies a pivotal place in the British cultural imagination. His music has been heard as emblematic of Empire and the English landscape. The recent success of Anthony Payne's elaboration of the sketches for Elgar's Third Symphony has prompted a critical revaluation of his music. This Companion provides an accessible and vivid account of Elgar's work in its historical and cultural context. Established authorities on British music and…

  The Cambridge Companion to Bach, first published in 1997, goes beyond a basic life-and-works study to provide a late twentieth-century perspective on J. S. Bach the man and composer. The book is divided into three parts. Part One is concerned with the historical context, the society, beliefs and the world-view of Bach's age. The second part discusses the music and Bach's compositional style, while Part Three considers Bach's influence and the per…
