Mitchell","doi":"10.1353/fam.2021.0011","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/fam.2021.0011","url":null,"abstract":"Boundaries of Early Music is an important and extensive biography of a little-known, but extremely influential musician. This book is not only an important contribution to the literature about the early music movement, but is essential reading for an understanding of the creation of two important Swiss institutions, the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and the Basel Chamber Orchestra. Anne Smith has assembled an impressive array of source material that includes unpublished family photographs, music compositions, and correspondence. This allows the reader to place Ina Lohr in context, and to give us an understanding of her world, her character, and her achievements. Ina Lohr, born in Amsterdam to welleducated parents, is said to have ‘sang before she spoke’. Her parents provided a rich intellectual and cultural environment for their children, and it was assumed that Lohr would become a professional violinist. After completing secondary school, Lohr was felled by a serious illness before being able to continue her music studies at the progressive Amsterdam Muziek-Lyceum, where there was a desire to link music study with ‘philosophical and religious reflection’. This environment and the people she met during her studies influenced the rest of Lohr’s musical life. While traveling to Switzerland for a vacation after her final exams in 1929, Lohr’s precarious health forced her to stop in Basel. While she was recuperating, her string quartet was performed by a local ensemble at a house concert attended by Felix Weingartner, director of the Basel Symphony Orchestra and Conservatoire. Impressed by the work, and perhaps, as Lohr suggested, intrigued by the novelty of a female composer, Weingartner invited her to study composition in Basel. This offer changed the trajectory of Lohr’s life. After her study in Basel, Lohr became the assistant to Paul Sacher, director of the Basel Chamber Orchestra, and the two worked together for more than fifty years. Sacher claimed that Lohr was an ‘invaluable aid’, especially with the programming of early music. She also provided performance practice information, marked the scores and parts for Sacher, and advised him about soloists. Lohr also worked on the contemporary music that the chamber orchestra performed by composers such as Nadia Boulanger, Igor Stravinsky, Arthur Honegger, Paul Hindemith, and Béla Bartók. Simultaneously, she continued her own work composing and performing religious music, alongside supporting amateur music-making. With the founding of the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (SCB) in 1933, Lohr ‘served in an advisory capacity’ during the creation of the school. The SCB was dedicated to the study and performance of pre-Classical repertoire and, almost a hundred years later, is still ranked as one of the most important early music conservatoires. Considered ‘the main pedagogical motor of the school’, Lohr taught Gregorian chant, recorder, ensemble, and thorough bass. She was happy working with amateurs as well a","PeriodicalId":41623,"journal":{"name":"FONTES ARTIS MUSICAE","volume":"68 1","pages":"175 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/fam.2021.0011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44821350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Musical Activities at the Court of Ulrich VI, Duke of Württemberg Before and During the Early Reformation","authors":"K. English","doi":"10.1353/fam.2021.0001","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/fam.2021.0001","url":null,"abstract":"English Abstract:This article discusses an aspect of the Reformation not often explored—the impact of religious change on the music of a court chapel. The Reformation was a powerful movement that affected the royal duchy of Württemberg in a fundamental way. Ulrich VI, the hereditary duke, converted to the Lutheran faith in 1523 and enthusiastically embraced the tenets of Lutheranism. Luther's theological teachings were followed by significant changes to the liturgy, making it necessary to create new liturgical music. The temperament of its duke was well-suited to this endeavour, and it fueled the development of a significant repertory. He was a volatile figure who was passionately devoted to his Hofkapelle. He spent large amounts of money recruiting musicians and securing existing pieces that his scribe copied for the choir.Twenty-one choir books, containing 250 sacred pieces were assembled after 1538. Of that number, seventeen books contain 170 traditional Catholic pieces—motets, ordinaries, magnificats, and hymns—and four choir books contain eighty Lutheran works for the Mass and Vespers. Even though both Ulrich and Peuschel had converted, Peuschel continued to copy Catholic works simultaneously with Lutheran pieces. In 1543 to 1545, he copied a collection of Lutheran propers and responsories from varied sources, plus pieces that were composed 'in-house'. The answer to why the court chapel was provided with so much music that represented both faiths is perhaps embedded in the mix of Ulrich's desire for notoriety and the difficulty of producing new music appropriate for a fledging church.French Abstract:Cet article aborde un aspect peu exploré de la Réforme, à savoir l'impact des changements religieux sur la musique de la chapelle d'une cour. La Réforme fut un mouvement puissant qui a affecté le duché royal du Wurtemberg de manière radicale.

Les enseignements théologiques de Luther ont été suivis de changements importants pour la liturgie, ce qui a rendu nécessaire la création d'une nouvelle musique liturgique.
