During the 16th century, when the content of the text guided the musical invention and polyphony created an emotional distance to the message of the text, it was still considered possible to compose in different textual and musical idioms (e.g. Orlando di Lasso’s Viersprachendruck ). Later, musicians – composers as well as singers – concentrated increasingly on their respective mother tongues and the musical forms of expression available for these, especially in connection with the new instrumentally accompanied solo singing. The musical forms were closely related to the metrics of the respective language, but also to the idea of character stereotypes that were musically articulated in the different airs. Contemporaries were already aware of the difficulty of translating vocal music into another language. And so the first half of the 17th century is marked by a linguistic and musical differentiation of all the vocal forms that are subsumed under the name Lied .","PeriodicalId":80558,"journal":{"name":"Artes de Mexico","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135209159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poetry and Lied can hardly be separated around 1600, as the lyric poetry of this period is generally singable and decisively influenced by the secular Lied . The significant contribution of the Lied to aesthetic change and to the modernisation and Europeanisation of German-language lyric poetry (themes, motifs, metrics, forms, sentence structures) will be worked out on the basis of some 5 200 songs in about 340 printed song collections between 1567 and 1642. Against the background of this broad corpus of sources, the interdisciplinary study analyses individual songs and song collections from the German-speaking world in terms of both musicology and literary studies. In addition to social and sociological aspects, dimensions of novelty are addressed as well as the relationship between theory, poetics and practice, cultural transfer processes, and questions about continuities and dynamics of literary and musical phenomena. The case studies as well as the theoretical and poetic statements on the Lied show how two conceptions of the Lied are profiled: In becoming independent, both song concepts are valorised in literature and music. In this way, the secular German-language Lied contributes to the modernisation and Europeanisation of German literature.","PeriodicalId":80558,"journal":{"name":"Artes de Mexico","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135209160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The starting point of the contribution is Adorno’s rejection of the Lied from an ideology-critical and autonomy-aesthetic point of view. In the post-war period, this had consequences for research on the Lied as well as for the social treatment of this form. On the other hand, national-philological perspectives continued to dominate for a long time; at the same time, the song ( Lied ) was not only neglected in research, but also the singing of songs became suspect and was increasingly rejected in music didactics. Only new discussions, first about terminology ( Musikalische Lyrik , Danuser 2004), have made the song attractive again. Recent research has focused on aspects such as translation, mobility, social history, and praxeology. Using examples of early modern song authors like Heinrich Müller, Heinrich Albert, Martin Opitz, and especially Johann Rist, this essay presents these new perspectives.","PeriodicalId":80558,"journal":{"name":"Artes de Mexico","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135209163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first part, the essay presents Opitz’s translation work on the Psalter showing that the poet wanted to create a normative example of German-language sacred poetry.

Focusing on the collections of contrafacta published in the second half of the 16th century by Georg Baumann the Elder in Erfurt, the article investigates the relevance underlaying music with new texts can have for historiography. Considering the importance of Italian secular repertory for Baumann’s prints with contrafacta on the one hand, and the wide range of re-texting strategies which – as the contributions of the Lutheran theologian and neo-Latin poet Ludwig Helmbold show – could exceed the pragmatic and pattern-oriented production of contrafacta on the other, the idea and meaning of two concepts prominent in Early Modern History are re-evaluated: Humanism and model-based thinking (the latter, not surprisingly, associated with Fernand Braudel’s famed modèle italien ).","PeriodicalId":80558,"journal":{"name":"Artes de Mexico","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135209162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Originating in Italy, it has also been used productively in music and literature in Germany since the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Since Erdmann Neumeister, who was the first to formulate a poetics of the (madrigal) cantata, numerous cantata poems have been written, which – even before they are potentially set to music – are literary artifacts in their own right. It is therefore surprising that the genre of the cantata has been researched almost exclusively by musicologists, and that there has been a lack of literary studies, and consequently, interdisciplinary approaches, which would be necessary for a systematic understanding of the cantata as a musical-literary hybrid genre. This article is intended as a contribution to an interdisciplinary study of the cantata. It examines the cantata text “Ich will den Kreuzweg gerne gehen”, written by Erdmann Neumeister and set to music by Georg Philipp Telemann, according to literary-textual and musical criteria, paying particular attention to the mechanisms and dynamics of the interaction between text and music.","PeriodicalId":80558,"journal":{"name":"Artes de Mexico","volume":"226 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135209161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents the book Teutsche Gedichte by the Zurich author Johann Wilhelm Simler in the context of its creation as well as its reception. The work was first published in 1648, the year of the separation of the Confederate cantons from the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and at the end of the Thirty Years’ War. Due to its resounding success, it was reprinted three times until 1688. In addition to various epigrams, doctrinal and occasional poems, the collection consists mainly of sacred and secular songs, printed in four-part notation. The melodies were written by various composers. As well as working with musicians, Simler also collaborated closely with the Zurich engraver Conrad Meyer. We would like to highlight Simler’s work as a cultural broker in the cultural scene of his city and for Swiss poetry in the German-speaking world.","PeriodicalId":80558,"journal":{"name":"Artes de Mexico","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135209165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
