PRO MUSICA POLONICA
October 4 - 20, 2013
Welcome to New York Early Music Celebration 2013, showcasing the
diverse talents of NYC’s historical performance community. This year
Early Music Foundation has invited the Polish Cultural Institute New York
(PCI) to be our partner and, in so doing, PCI brings Polish artists to share in
this 4th-triennial festival. I am pleased for this opportunity to introduce our
guest counterparts, well-known throughout Europe, to enhance this year’s
“Pro Musica Polonica” theme.
By an earlier PCI invitation, I witnessed Poland’s vital early music activity.
The exposure sparked an interest in a treasury of repertoire rarely performed
in America. Because of lost artifacts in wars and occupations, notably in the
20th century, much of Poland’s early musical heritage is lost. Only relatively
recently has there been an effort to revive a remaining pre-1800 legacy. This
music is testament to its central role in Poland – a beacon of Renaissance
thought, innovation and vital interconnection with all of Europe.
Origins of Polish music are traced to the Middle Ages – 13th-century
polyphony relating to the Parisian Notre Dame School. The Renaissance
coincided with Kraków’s long-reigning Jagiellonian Dynasty to produce
noteworthy composers along with Nicolaus Copernicus. Poland’s first
Golden Age occurred during the 17th Century, when its capital was
relocated from Kraków to Warsaw. Italian musician-composers were
employed in Polish courts, importing a new baroque style; Polish
composers readily absorbed le nuove musiche to make it their own.
The first half of the 18th century experienced a lull in Polish creativity due
to political intrigue: the Polish king at this time preferred to hold court in
Dresden! German music (Telemann, Bach) prevailed. However, the second
half of the century experienced another Golden Age, when enlightened
Poles took up the classical style. Reflecting Poland’s invigorated national
pride, the polonaise was championed, laying the groundwork to produce a
Chopin in the next century.

Early Music Foundation
Welcome from the Early Music Foundation
Early Music Foundation (EMF) was founded by Frederick Renz and other
members of the New York Pro Musica Antiqua in 1974. Upon its inception,
EMF was invited to become Artist-in-Residence at the Cathedral Church of
Saint John the Divine in New York City.
Named “a revered institution” by The New York Times, Early Music
Foundation fosters public understanding and appreciation of western
culture through highest quality, historically-informed performances of
music and music drama from the 11th through the 18th Centuries.
EMF’s service to the field project “New York Early Music Central”
promotes historical performances by New York City’s community of early
music artists; manages an ongoing, online event coordination calendar; and
hosts triennial, city-wide performance projects under the “New York Early
Music Celebration” banner. EMF also manages the performing enterprise,
Early Music New York – Frederick Renz, Director, and a recording label,
Ex cathedra Records.

Welcome from the Polish Cultural Institute New York
The mission of the Polish Cultural Institute New York is to raise awareness
of Poland’s rich cultural legacy and contemporary cultural innovation.
Accompanied by partners both longstanding and newly met, we’ve decided
to dive into the world of Polish early music.
It all began in the summer of 2011, when we brought a group of American
presenters and promoters of early music to Poland. The idea of a festival
was born in Narol in the Eastern borderlands of present-day Poland. From
the beginning, the Early Music Foundation has been our steadfast partner,
under founder and director, Frederick Renz.
We hope that the twenty or so concerts in this series will serve as an
enticement to further inquiries and musical discoveries allowing us to
better understand this tradition and how there came to be such a rich
musical culture in today’s Poland.
If we’ve managed to convince you, we’ve accomplished our mission.

Together, we’ve prepared a program introducing the musical culture of a
great European state as it was in the time of the First Polish Republic, also
known as the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Polish composers from the time of the Jagiellonian dynasty and the era
of elected kings are being newly discovered today: Mikołaj Gomółka,
Bartłomiej Pękiel, Adam Jarzębski, and Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki,
among others. But it is worth remembering that in this enormous
multicultural state, occupying the terrain of at least six countries of
modern Central and Eastern Europe, there were also representatives
of other nationalities.
In the northwestern lands of Pomerania, the German burghers played an
important role. In the southeast, Ukrainians created their own musical
culture, and north of them were the Belarusian and Lithuanian lands, and
among all of them were Jews, Greeks, Tatars, and Armenians. The Republic
was open to influences coming from the north, south, east and western
Europe, and thus, Europe’s largest melting pot gave birth to a separate and
distinct musical culture.

Janusz Prusinowski Trio
Wild Music from the Heart of Poland
The Janusz Prusinowski Trio (Pruh-shee-NOV-sky) is a group of
musicians who follow in the traditions of village masters with whom they
have studied, but they are at the same time an avant-garde band with their
own unique sound and language of improvisation. They combine music
with dance, and the archaic with the modern. The Trio’s style is distilled
from their reinterpretations of central Poland’s village music. Listening to
them perform you can hear how echoes of traditional music coexist with a
variety of genres: the music of Chopin in its melodic pattern and the use of
rubato, the mazurka, a shared love of improvisation with blues and jazz, and
the energy and propulsion of rock.
The Trio will perform in the following lineup: Janusz Prusinowski, fiddle,
voice, dulcimer, Polish accordion; Piotr Piszczatowski, baraban drum, frame
drum; Michał Żak, wooden flutes, shawm, clarinet; Piotr Zgorzelski, folk
bass, dancing; Szczepan Pospieszalski, trumpet.

“What struck me right away about this music was its
amazing ability to mix the feel and power of village dance
music with the personal contemporary sensibilities of the
players. (…) The addition of wind and brass to the Trio’s
sound really pushes their music into another realm.”
–Michal Shapiro, Huffington Post

–Early Music Review
Bach, Poland & the Polish Style in His Music
Seminar & Master Class with Raymond Erickson & Szymon Paczkowski
In 1736 Johann Sebastian Bach became Royal Polish and Electoral Saxon
Composer. This frequently-cited title invites inquiry into the composer’s
Polish connections in the 18th Century, yet the topic remains surprisingly
uninvestigated, even by Polish researchers. This event will explore Bach’s
knowledge of various national styles that he uniquely synthesized in his
music, with special emphasis on the Polish style, which up to now has not
received sufficient attention. It will consider Bach’s contacts with
18th century Poland and the reception of his music there, as well as
demonstrate how Bach in particular as well as other composers of the time
incorporated Polish elements in their music.
Raymond Erickson, Professor Emeritus of Music at Queens College
and the CUNY Graduate Center, is a distinguished Bach scholar, a widely
traveled harpsichordist and pianist, and one of America’s most experienced
teachers of historical performance. Szymon Paczkowski, a noted Bach
scholar and lecturer at the University of Warsaw, member of the American
Bach Society, since 2011 of the Neue Bach-Gesellschaft in Leipzig, and an
expert on Bach and the Polish musical style.

“I had an opportunity in upper Silesia as well as in
Cracow of getting to know Polish music in all its barbaric
beauty. One would hardly believe what wonderfully bright
ideas such pipers and fiddlers are apt to get when they
improvise, ideas that would suffice for an entire lifetime.
There is in this music a great deal of merit provided it is
treated right. I have myself written in this manner several
large concertos and trios that I clad in Italian clothes with
alternating Adagi and Allegri.”

Polyhymnia
Music from Renaissance Poland
Polyhymnia is a small ensemble of professional singers, focusing on
historically informed performance of sacred music from the courts and
cathedrals of the Renaissance world. Since 2000, director John Bradley has
been creating original editions of music for the ensemble, some of it secreted
in manuscript collections since the 16th Century. Working in concert with
libraries, liturgical historians and institutions, Polyhymnia hopes to both
preserve and reintroduce choral masterworks of the Renaissance and early
Baroque in ways that both entertain and elucidate.
Since its formation in 1994, the ensemble has amassed a vast repertoire
performed in both traditional concerts as well as historical liturgical
reconstructions from Seville, imperial Germany and Tudor England. Their
concerts have included works by both well-known composers like Lassus
and Palestrina, and a wide array of unjustly neglected authors, including
Aston, Clemens non Papa, Crecquillon, de Rore, Fayrfax, Gombert, Porta,
Vaet and Willaert.

Magdalena Baczewska
Keyboard music of Polish Renaissance and Baroque
Magdalena Baczewska is the recipient of the Outstanding Achievement
Award from the Polish Minister of Culture, and the Award for Outstanding
Polish Citizen Abroad. Known primarily as a pianist, Baczewska returns to
the Kosciuszko Foundation on October 13th, to perform repertoire of the
Polish Renaissance and Baroque on the harpsichord.
“I was delighted to study the wide array of keyboard music written in
Poland before 1800. Many period manuscripts that have surfaced recently,
demonstrate a variety of compositional styles, encompassing the Italian
virtuoso fashion, French dance music, and German polyphony, as well as
stylized court dances, such as minuets and polonaises. For the recital at the
Kosciuszko Foundation I have chosen Renaissance dances collected in the
Tablature of Jan of Lublin, the 18th century music collections of Jadwiga
Dygulska and princess Anna Maria Saska, as well as two dances written
by general Tadeusz Kosciuszko himself. This journey through the early
music of Poland spans nearly three centuries and will conclude in the 1790s,
shortly before the birth of Fryderyk Chopin.” –Magdalena Baczewska
www.magdalenabaczewska.com
Program:
Ms. Baczewska will perform Polish Renaissance and Baroque music
for the harpsichord. The program will feature keyboard works of Jan z
Lublina, Bartłomiej Pękiel, Piotr Żelechowski, Jan Podbielski, and Tadeusz
Kościuszko among others.

Paul’s Chapel. Conducted by Julian Wachner, Trinity’s Director of Music
and the Arts, these services present Bach’s monumental cantata output
in a liturgical context, returning these miniature oratorio-like works to
their original purpose. Steeped in a sophisticated praxis of hermeneutical
design, these works are presented in an historically-informed manner of
performance, with period instruments and members of the Trinity Choir.
Bach at One is free, open to all, and takes place each Monday at 1:00 pm
at St. Paul’s Chapel (Broadway and Fulton Street). It offers a perfect lunch
hour time of reflection and meditation at the beginning of the work week.

REBEL Ensemble & Matthias Maute, recorder
Rediscoveries: Rare Concerti & Sonatas by Bach’s Contemporaries
REBEL (pronounced “Re-BEL”) is widely regarded as one of America’s
premiere Baroque ensembles. Named after Baroque composer Jean-Féry
Rebel, the group was formed in The Netherlands in 1991; that same year it
won first prize in the prestigious Van Wassenaer Competition in Utrecht.
Through its long residency at Trinity Church Wall Street, REBEL has
received high praise for its collaborations with Trinity Choir. REBEL has
also worked with many esteemed vocalists, among them Rufus Müller,
Derek Lee Ragin, Daniel Taylor, and soprano Renée Fleming. Arguably the
most aired American Baroque ensemble on radio in the US today, REBEL
appears often on APM’s Performance Today and MPR’s St. Paul Sunday.
REBEL has released more than 20 discs on Deutsche Harmonia, Naxos,
Sono Luminus, and other esteemed labels. A new CD of double concerti by
Telemann will be released in Fall 2013.

and directors; Risa Browder, viola; John Moran, cello, Daniel Swenberg,

“Thoughtfully prepared and deftly executed…
every individual selection contributed to a greater
totality…the purely instrumental selections
occasionally sounded as if they were emanating from
some ancient, delicate music box—as an antiquated
intricacy somehow preserved for 21st-century ears.”

Galileo’s Daughters
The Consilient Realm of Copernicus: Revolutionary Ideas & the Music of His Time
Since their debut concert in 2001, Galileo’s Daughters have performed
throughout the United States and Canada at universities, music festivals and
special gatherings of the scientific community. Shaped by a variety of talents
in early music, opera, jazz, drama, and musical scholarship, their programs
offer an entertaining window into the most exciting periods in the history of
western civilization through music, narration and stunning video images.
In their special Celebration program, Galileo’s Daughters, best-selling
author Dava Sobel and video artist Marc Wagnon reveal the story of
Nicolaus Copernicus, a Polish Catholic cleric and astronomer, who
placed the sun at the center of the universe as a result of his attempt to
re-harmonize the cosmological theories of his day to Aristotelian ideals.
The story will be presented through period music, narration, video images
and animation. Before the program (performed under the beautiful dome
of the Catholic Church of Notre Dame in West Harlem), the audience will
have the opportunity to view celestial bodies from telescopes supplied by
Columbia Astronomy Public Outreach.

Le Poème Harmonique
Combattimenti
Le Poème Harmonique is a group of soloists, gathered around its artistic
director Vincent Dumestre. Its artistic activity, centered on vocal and
instrumental music of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, is
regularly enriched by interaction with other disciplines. This, together
with real teamwork—working together as a company—is Le Poème
Harmonique’s hallmark in Baroque performance today.
Centered around Monteverdi’s revolutionary Il Combattimento di Tancredi e
Clorinda, considered one of the finest madrigals of war, this season’s
program contrasts Monteverdi’s dramatic cantata with a light-hearted
piece by Marazzoli that parodies the same love-lorn tale. Showcasing
works in stile rappresentativo, a style of singing developed in 16th Century
Italian opera that is more emotive than speech but less melodic than song,
Le Poème Harmonique celebrates music as a means of connection and
poetic communication.

Bach Vespers at Holy Trinity
Motets of the Bach Family
The Bach Choir and Players of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church at
65th Street and Central Park West present motets of Johann Sebastian
Bach and his uncles for its opening Vespers. Bach Vespers at Holy Trinity,
now in its 46th season, presents Bach’s cantatas and other North German
Renaissance and Baroque works weekly in an historic liturgical tradition
following the practice of 18th century Leipzig. The oldest organization in
the Western Hemisphere to offer such a tradition, The Bach Choir and
Players on period instruments, under the direction of Cantor Rick Erickson
and Associate Director of Music Donald Meineke, has been named “New
York’s Temple to Bach” (The New York Times) and noted for its “valuable”
contribution to the city’s arts community. With the addition of the Paul
Fritts organ in 2011, Bach Vespers is heard in the most authentic atmosphere
outside of Leipzig.

The Poznań museum was founded in 1857 and became a National Museum
in 1950. It is one of the oldest, biggest and most important museums in
Poland. Its rich and diverse holdings preserve the legacy of those with the
passion, effort and knowledge to gather these artworks over centuries for the
public. These gems are fit for any prestigious world gallery and await their
visitors, ready to offer them an unforgettable experience.
The Museum of Musical Instruments dates back to 1945 and is a branch of the
National Museum. This institution currently houses 2,500 objects from different
periods, representing all continents. The collection prides itself on its stringed
instruments; especially violins (17th–18th c.) made by dynasties of Polish makers
– Groblicz and Dankwart – as well as instruments by Italian masters (Amati,
Testore, Guadagnini, Maggini). The highlight of the keyboard instrument
collection is a double-manual harpsichord by Burkat Shudi (No. 496) from 1765
and among the aerophones is a medieval bronze lituus (14th–15th c.).
