Four Pieces from the Cancionero de Upsala

Anon arr. Marshall

4 SATB. The Cancionero de Upsala is the single surviving copy of a book of Spanish music, which was printed in Venice in 1556. The book is now housed in the Uppsala (modern spelling) University Library in Sweden. We have chosen pieces which alternate between plaintive and beautiful and vigorous
and energetic. On the easy side of moderate.

Four Easy Pieces

Bach, J S

4 SATB. These are arrangements of rarities - easy pieces by Bach! There are two chorales (in other words hymns) and two songs from Anna Magdalena's notebook, originally for voice and keyboard. A very easy descant 2 part is provided, which should be omitted if all descants are able to play the descant 1 part (which is itself quite straightforward). Total playing time is about six minutes.

Es war ein wunderlicher Krieg

Bach, J S arr. James Kurtz

4 SATB. This is from Cantata 4. The chorale theme is in the Alto part and, although simple to play, has a powerful impression on the otherwise florid music.

Fugue in G BWV 576

Bach, J S arr. Susan Francis

4 SATB. This piece is from the Organ Book No. 12. There is plenty to work on here, in particular the interplay between the parts which must be seamless.

Two Festive Choruses

Bach, J S arr.Nagel

4 SATB. A chorus from the Christmas Cantata (BWV 63) is paired with the victorious celebration from the Michaelmas Cantata (BWV 149). Both are of Intermediate difficulty; an extra alto part, down an octave, is included.

Four Canzonas

Banchieri

4 S/A A/T TB. Fantasia Quinta - Fantasia Quinta Decima - Seconda Sonata, Fuga Autentica in Arie Francese - Fantasia Decimaottava. Adriano Banchieri was born and died in Bologna. He played an important part in development of the madrigal, but was also well-known as a composer of the light and enormously popular canzonas and canzonettas. These four canzonas, all but one lively and brisk, demonstrate the style very well. There are few melodic ideas, but they tumble over one another with exciting effect. Total playing time is about five minutes, but the pieces also succeed at a less breakneck speed!
