"Manfred Bukofzer was a renowned musicologist and a beloved professor in the music department at the University of California for the fifteen years prior to his death in 1955 at the age of forty-five. In the opinion of David D. Boyden, who succeeded him as chairman of California's music department, Bukofzer 'had no peer in the use of the resources of a large library or in a command of bibliography throughout the whole range of music scholarship.'

Show more"Manfred Bukofzer was a renowned musicologist and a beloved professor in the music department at the University of California for the fifteen years prior to his death in 1955 at the age of forty-five. In the opinion of David D. Boyden, who succeeded him as chairman of California's music department, Bukofzer 'had no peer in the use of the resources of a large library or in a command of bibliography throughout the whole range of music scholarship.' For him, 'If the history of music is to have more than an antiquarian interest and significance, it must be seen as a history of musical styles, and the history of styles in turn as a history of ideas.' Such was Bukofzer's approach to Music in the Baroque Era, his contribution to the monumental Norton History of Music. [...] To supplement Bukofzer's bibliography, within the time limits set by him, this paper brings together an annotated bibliography of materials in the baroque period. It is limited to books and dissertations of more than seventy-five pages in length which have appeared since the publication of Bukofzer's book in 1947"--Introduction.

Abstract/Description

The concept of Musica Pathetica figures significantly in the encyclopedic Musurgia universalis published in 1650 by Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680). Kircher, a German Jesuit who spent much of his life in Rome, was a polymathic scholar, following in the tradition of Mersenne, and attempted to form a systematic rationalization of the relationship between the Baroque doctrine of the affections and practical musical composition. Beginning from traditional concepts of numerical proportions and the...
Show moreThe concept of Musica Pathetica figures significantly in the encyclopedic Musurgia universalis published in 1650 by Athanasius Kircher (1601-1680). Kircher, a German Jesuit who spent much of his life in Rome, was a polymathic scholar, following in the tradition of Mersenne, and attempted to form a systematic rationalization of the relationship between the Baroque doctrine of the affections and practical musical composition. Beginning from traditional concepts of numerical proportions and the human temperaments and humors, his exposition of the subject puts a particular emphasis on modal theory and the musical literature of the early seventeenth century. A translation is provided for the Latin text of Book VII (Part Three, Chapters One to Five), along with a transcription of the musical examples.

For many years scholars, educators, and internationally minded social workers have tried to find a common denominator of understanding for the many varied languages and customs of the earth. While most of these efforts have failed, there has been one area in which all men, regardless of race, culture, or creed have found a noticeable degree of unity. That area is music. Music of' some form is evidenced in all cultures and there has been a tremendous amount of interchanging and adaptation of...
