Every man looks at his woodpile with a kind of affection. Thoreau, Walden
Erudition, n. Dust shaken out of an ancient book into an empty skull. Ambrose Bierce, Devil's Dictionary
Stuff I've done, interspersed with scurrilous POV commentary which I can't put anywhere else.
From scratch:
Most recent first.
Thomas Morley (biggie; there were 16 links already to him)
Lodovico Zacconi (expand from stublet) (if anyone ever reads this it's a miracle)
Universe symphony (Charles Ives) (expand from a sublet)
Intermezzo New article No. 100!
Serenade Finally.
Manfred Bukofzer got tired of seeing the red link all the time.
Fitzwilliam Virginal Book (there was a sub-stub there)
Santa Barbara Channel and something non-music for a change.
Antonio Cifra
Francesco Soriano
Felice Anerio starting on the 17th century Roman School guys.
Emilio de' Cavalieri
Loyset Compère
Sinfonia (some more examples, and more about 20th century wouldn't hurt)
Pierre de La Rue
Olin Downes (had a substub)
Alessandro Grandi
Alexander Agricola
Bartolomeo Tromboncino
Tielman Susato
Thomas Crecquillon
Gustave Reese Musicologist; the most amazingly thorough of them all
Marc Antonio Ingegneri (Monteverdi's teacher; "adjunct faculty" of Roman School)
Domenico Allegri
Roman School Finally.
Alfonso Ferrabosco Hugely influential, almost unknown, and really kind of a shady character.
Anonymous IV Probably the most famous of all the "numbered" Anonymi.
English Madrigal School
Notre Dame school
Giovanni de' Bardi Had this energetic, audacious, interesting adventurer been killed at the siege of Malta, or in the savage struggles against Suleiman's army in Hungary, music history would be incomprehensibly different. No monody, no recitative, possibly no opera.
Antoine Busnois Yup, he really did write a chanson called Terrible dame, and it means the same in English that it does in Old French.
Hayne van Ghizeghem Interesting guy; I would love to write my speculations about his late career into the article, but can't and won't. After the siege of Beauvais, if he was not killed, but remained (anonymously) working at the court of France, it is certainly possible that he was captured--but could not go home again because Charles would have thought him a traitor. Eager to compete with Burgundy as a center of culture, musical and otherwise, the King of France (Louis XI) probably wouldn't have had any trouble hiring him; he was busy bringing scholars and artists and musicians from all over Europe. Hayne's life would make a great historical novel, or even, god forbid, an opera.
Gilles Binchois (well, ok, there was a single line from 1911 EB there first)
Burgundian School
air de cour (incredibly popular for thirty years in France... one wonders, in four hundred years, will anyone have heard of "hip-hop," "rock," or "country"?)
Hans Leo Hassler (Another underrated composer, one who brought that magnificent Venetian style north)
Bartolomé de Escobedo
Venetian School I might be the only one left in the world who loves this stuff, but so be it
Costanzo Porta
Girolamo Diruta
Claudio Merulo
intermedio
Venetian polychoral style
polychoral (someone else merged it with "antiphon" which is a very different thing, but I'll leave it for now)
Heinrich Scheidemann
Johann Schein
Z-relation Heh. Felt like writing a really abstruse one.
ricercar
Johann Mattheson This is even too obscure for Grove... but the music and rhetoric stuff is important, IMHO
prolation canon
Cantus In Memoriam Benjamin Britten (by Arvo Pärt; heard it to my great surprise in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 and was greatly relieved to see it in the credits, thinking of the Gladiator and the Kubrick-Ligeti nastinesses)
