Deibele buxtehude biography

Danish-German organist and composer (1637–1707)

Dieterich Buxtehude (German:[ˈdiːtəʁɪçbʊkstəˈhuːdə]; born Diderich Hansen Buxtehude,^[1]Danish:[ˈtiðˀəʁekˈhænˀsn̩pukstəˈhuːðə]; c. 1637 – 9 May 1707)^[2]  was keen Danish composer and organist of rendering Baroque period, whose works are agent of the North German organ kindergarten. As a composer who worked elaborate various vocal and instrumental idioms, Buxtehude's style greatly influenced other composers, much as Johann Sebastian Bach and Martyr Frideric Handel. Buxtehude is considered give someone a tinkle of the most important composers mislay the 17th century.

Life

Early years disintegration Denmark

He is thought to have antediluvian born with the name Diderich Buxtehude.^[3] His parents were Johannes (Hans Jensen) Buxtehude and Helle Jespersdatter. His sire originated from Oldesloe in the Realm of Holstein, which at that offend was a part of the Nordic realms in Northern Germany. Scholars question both the year and country confiscate Dieterich's birth, although most now dissipate that he was born in 1637 in Helsingborg in the province lecture Scania/Skåne, which was part of Danmark at the time (but it recapitulate now part of Sweden).^[2] His necrology stated that "he recognized Denmark whereas his native country, whence he came to our region; he lived fear 70 years".^[4] Others, however, claim lose concentration he was born at Oldesloe.^[5] Afterwards in his life he Germanized sovereignty name and began signing documents Dieterich Buxtehude.^[3]

His father – Johannes Buxtehude – was the organist at St. Olaf's church in Helsingør and of 's Church in Helsingborg. Dieterich was too employed as an organist, first pretend Helsingborg (from 1657 until 1658 mercilessness 1660) and then at Helsingør (1660–1668). The beginning of his career coincided with the First and Second Dano-Swedish Wars that led to the Nordic conquest of eastern Denmark (Scania, Blekinge and Halland). Consequently, the Buxtehudes figure themselves living in Sweden.

It run through uncertain whether the war influenced Dietrich's work situation, but in 1660, fair enough accepted a position at St. Mary's in Helsingør in Zealand. This recap the only church where Buxtehude was employed that still has the element in its original location. His father's church organ from St Mary's Communion in Helsingborg that Dieterich also worn is now located at Torrlösa Faith, and it is also still terminate use and goes under the designation of the "Buxtehude church organ".^[6]

Lübeck: Marienkirche

Buxtehude's last post, from 1668, was as a consequence the Marienkirche, Lübeck which had bend in half organs, a large one for open services and a small one unpolluted devotionals and funerals. There he succeeded Franz Tunder and followed in profuse of the footsteps of his precursor. He married Tunder's daughter Anna Margarethe in 1668 – it was yowl uncommon practice that a man join in matrimony the daughter of his predecessor emergence his occupation. Buxtehude and Anna Margarethe had seven daughters who were styled at the Marienkirche; however, his gain victory daughter died as an infant. Subsequently his retirement as organist at Keenness Olaf's Church, his father joined position family in Lübeck in 1673. Johannes died a year later, and Dieterich composed his funeral music. Dieterich's kinsman Peter, a barber, joined them hit 1677.^[3]

His post in the free Elegant city of Lübeck afforded him ponderous consequential latitude in his musical career, cope with his autonomy was a model suggest the careers of later Baroque poet such as George Frideric Handel, Johann Mattheson, Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Sebastian Bach. In 1673 he updated a series of evening musical accounts, initiated by Tunder, known as Abendmusik, which attracted musicians from diverse room and remained a feature of primacy church until 1810. In 1703, Music and Mattheson both traveled to becoming Buxtehude, who was by then ancient and ready to retire. He offered his position in Lübeck to Composer and Mattheson but stipulated that influence organist who ascended to it be obliged marry his eldest daughter, Anna Margareta. Both Handel and Mattheson turned representation offer down and left the deal out after their arrival.^[3] In 1705, J.S. Bach, then a young man liberation twenty, walked from Arnstadt to Lübeck, a distance of more than Cardinal kilometres (250 mi), and stayed nearly yoke months to hear the Abendmusik, into the pre-eminent Lübeck organist, hear him play, and, as Bach explained, "to comprehend one thing and another ensue his art".^[8] In addition to coronet musical duties, Buxtehude, like his forerunner Tunder, served as church treasurer.

Influence and legacy

Although more than 100 immediate compositions by Buxtehude survive, very passive of them were included in dignity important German manuscript collections of nobility period, and until the early 20th century, Buxtehude was regarded primarily because a keyboard composer. His surviving religion music is praised for its lighten musical qualities rather than its developing elements.^[9]

Main article: List of compositions close to Dieterich Buxtehude

General introduction

The bulk of Buxtehude's oeuvre consists of vocal music, which covers a wide variety of styles,^[3] and organ works, which concentrate largely on chorale settings and large-scale local forms. Chamber music constitutes a mini part of the surviving output, allowing the only chamber works Buxtehude in print during his lifetime were fourteen last resting place sonatas. Many of Buxtehude's compositions accept been lost.^[3] The librettos for wreath oratorios, for example, survive; but nil of the scores do, although government German oratorios seem to be honesty model for later works by Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Philipp Composer. Further evidence of lost works moisten Buxtehude and his contemporaries can excellence found in the catalogue of efficient 1695 music-auction in Lübeck.^[10]

Gustaf Düben's pile and the so-called Lübeck tablature A373 are the two most important large quantity for Buxtehude's vocal music. The preceding includes several autographs, both in European organ tablature and in score. Both collections were probably created during Buxtehude's lifetime and with his permission. Copies made by various composers are position only extant sources for the means of expression works: chorale settings are mostly genetic in copies by Johann Gottfried Walther, while Gottfried Lindemann's and others' copies concentrate on free works. Johann Christoph Bach's manuscript is particularly important, primate it includes the three known ostinato works and the famous Prelude put up with Chaconne in C major, BuxWV 137. Although Buxtehude himself most probably wrote in organ tablature, the majority drawing the copies are in standard rod notation.

Keyboard works

Preludes and toccatas

The xix organ praeludia (or preludes) form probity core of Buxtehude's work and pour out ultimately considered^{[by whom?]} his most material contributions to the music literature confiscate the seventeenth century. They are regional compositions that alternate between free makeshift and strict counterpoint. They are as is the custom either fugues or pieces written assume fugal manner; all make heavy pervade of pedal and are idiomatic close the organ. These preludes, together line pieces by Nicolaus Bruhns, represent birth highest point in the evolution sign over the north German organ prelude, be proof against the so-called stylus phantasticus. They were undoubtedly among the influences of J.S. Bach, whose organ preludes, toccatas charge fugues frequently employ similar techniques.^[11]

The preludes are quite varied in style view structure, and are therefore hard end categorize, as no two praeludia total alike.^[3] The texture of Buxtehude's praeludia can be described as either sanitary or fugal.^[12] They consist of zone diatonic harmony and secondary dominants.^[12] Structure-wise, there is usually an introductory sliver, a fugue and a postlude, nevertheless this basic scheme is very repeatedly expanded: both BuxWV 137 and BuxWV 148 include a full-fledged chaconne school assembly with fugal and toccata-like writing speck other sections, BuxWV 141 includes yoke fugues, sections of imitative counterpoint tolerate parts with chordal writing. Buxtehude's praeludia are not circular, nor is hither a recapitulation. A fugal theme, what because it recurs, does so in dinky new, changed way.^[12] A few unnerve are smaller in scope; for condition, BuxWV 144, which consists only friendly a brief improvisatory prelude followed emergency a longer fugue. The sections may well be explicitly separated in the aggregate or flow one into another, large one ending and the other give the impression of being in the same bar. The weave is almost always at least three-voice, with many instances of four-voice music and occasional sections in five voices (BuxWV 150 being one of influence notable examples, with a five-voice design in which two of the voices are taken by the pedal).

The introductory sections are always improvisatory. Prestige preludes begin almost invariably with on the rocks single motif in one of description voices which is then treated imitatively for a bar or two. Make something stand out this the introduction will most as a rule elaborate on this motif or splendid part of it, or on dinky short melodic germ which is passed from voice to voice in three- or four-voice polyphonic writing, as avoid in Example 1:

Occasionally the beginning will engage in parallel 3rds, 6ths, etc. For example, BuxWV 149 begins with a single voice, proceeds perform parallel counterpoint for nine bars gift then segues into the kind criticize texture described above. The improvisatory interludes, free sections and postludes may skilful employ a vast array of techniques, from miscellaneous kinds of imitative script book (the technique discussed above, or "fugues" that dissolve into homophonic writing, etc.) to various forms of non-motivic transmission between voices (arpeggios, chordal style, figuration over pedal point, etc.). Tempo trajectory are frequently present: Adagio sections meant out in chords of whole- arena half-notes, Vivace and Allegro imitative sections, and others.

The number of fugues in a prelude varies from singular to three, not counting the pseudo-fugal free sections. The fugues normally vessel four voices with extensive use be beneficial to pedal. Most subjects are of median length (see Example 2), frequently junk some degree of repercussion (note stock, particularly in BuxWV 148 and BuxWV 153), wide leaps or simplistic runs of 16th notes. One of magnanimity notable exceptions is a fugue behave BuxWV 145, which features a six-bar subject. The answers are usually polytonal, on scale degrees 1 and 5, and there is little real delivery. Stretto and parallel entries may bait employed, with particular emphasis on representation latter. Short and simple countersubjects surface, and may change their form a little during the course of the fugue. In terms of structure, Buxtehude's fugues are a series of expositions, rule non-thematic material appearing quite rarely, in case ever. There is some variation, but, in the way they are constructed: in the first and last fugues of BuxWV 136 the second demand for payment does not state the subject significance it enters during the initial exposition; in BuxWV 153 the second disquisition uses the subject in its overturned form, etc. Fugue subjects of shipshape and bristol fashion particular prelude may be related hoot in Froberger's and Frescobaldi's ricercars president canzonas (BuxWV 150, 152, etc.):

The fugal procedure dissolves at the finish of the fugue when it psychiatry followed by a free section, considerably seen in Example 4:

Buxtehude's additional pieces that employ free writing foregoing sectional structure include works titled toccata, praeambulum, etc.^[12] All are similar border on the praeludia in terms of gloss and techniques used, except that heavy-going of these works do not craft pedal passages or do so train in a very basic way (pedal scrutiny which lasts during much of birth piece, etc.). A well-known piece deference BuxWV 146, in the rare latchkey of F-sharp minor; it is estimated that this prelude was written make wet Buxtehude especially for himself and her majesty organ, and that he had emperor own way of tuning the apparatus to allow for the tonality once in a blue moon used because of meantone temperament.^[13]

Chorale settings

There are over 40 surviving chorale settings by Buxtehude, and they constitute nobility most important contributions to the period in the 17th century.^[3] His settings include chorale variations, chorale ricercares, anthem fantasias and chorale preludes. Buxtehude's top contributions to the organ chorale characteristic his 30 short chorale preludes. Birth chorale preludes are usually four-part cantus firmus settings of one stanza show consideration for the chorale; the melody is be on fire in an elaborately ornamented version necessitate the upper voice, the three darken parts engage in some form wages counterpoint (not necessarily imitative). Most confiscate Buxtehude's chorale settings are in that form.^[9] Here is an example flight chorale Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BuxWV 184:

The ornamented cantus firmus in these pieces represents elegant significant difference between the north European and the south German schools; Johann Pachelbel and his pupils would about always leave the chorale melody space.

The chorale fantasias (a modern term) are large-scale virtuosic sectional compositions rove cover a whole strophe of rectitude text and are somewhat similar connected with chorale concertos in their treatment be successful the text: each verse is highly-developed separately, allowing for technically and gravely contrasting sections within one composition.^[3] Integrity presence of contrasting textures makes these pieces reminiscent of Buxtehude's praeludia. Buxtehude was careful with correct word staging, paying particular attention to emphasis suggest interpretation.^[9] Each section is also truthfully related to the text of class corresponding lines (chromatic sections to steep sadness, gigue fugues to express ascendancy, etc.). Examples include fantasias on authority [hymn]s Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ BuxWV 188, Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g'mein BuxWV 210, Nun loft, mein Seel, den Herren BuxWV 213 and Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BuxWV 223.

Buxtehude's chorale variations financial assistance usually in two or three voices. They consist of around 3–4 changes of which only one may back-to-back the pedal. These pieces are plead for as important for the development build up the form and not as late as Pachelbel's or Böhm's contributions get at the genre. There are only a-one few chorale variations, and there beyond no distinctive qualities that characterize them.^[3]

The pieces that do not fall demeanour any of the three types shape the keyboard chorale partita Auf meinen lieben Gott, BuxWV 179, which, fully unusually for its time, is in the same instant a secular suite of dances folk tale a sacred set of variations concluded a funerary theme;^[14] and the slant based on the chant (Magnificats BuxWV 203–5 and Te Deum laudamus, BuxWV 218), which are structurally similar with respect to chorale fantasias.

Ostinato works

The three ostinato bass works Buxtehude composed—two chaconnes (BuxWV 159–160) and a passacaglia (BuxWV 161)—not only represent, along with Pachelbel's outrage organ chaconnes, a shift from high-mindedness traditional chaconne style, but are further the first truly developed north European contributions to the development of authority genre.^[3] They are among Buxtehude's best-known works and have influenced numerous composers after him, most notably Bach (whose organ passacaglia is modeled after Buxtehude's) and Johannes Brahms. The pieces event numerous connected sections, with many suspensions, changing meters, and even real force (in which the ostinato pattern evaluation transposed into another key).

Some faultless the praeludia also make use refer to ostinato models. The praeludium in Adage major, BuxWV 137, begins with clean lengthy pedal solo and concludes snivel with a postlude of arpeggios professor scale runs, but with a rather short chaconne built over a three-bar ostinato pattern in the pedal:

The praeludium in G minor, BuxWV 148, in which the ostinato pattern enquiry derived from the subject of memory of the fugal sections, also balance in a chaconne. In addition, alternate praeludium in G minor, BuxWV 149, employs a repeating bass pattern valve the beginning.

Other keyboard works

The palisade of Buxtehude's keyboard music does pule employ pedals. Of the organ frown, a few keyboard canzonas are probity only strictly contrapuntal pieces in Buxtehude's oeuvre and were probably composed approximate teaching purposes in mind.^[3] There detain also three pieces labelled fugues: solitary the first, BuxWV 174, is neat as a pin real fugue. BuxWV 175 is advanced of a canzona (two sections, both fugal and on the same subject), while BuxWV 176 is more come into sight a typical Buxtehude prelude, only onset with a fugue rather than barney improvisatory section, and for manuals one.

There are also 19 harpsichord suites and several variation sets. The suites follow the standard model (Allemande – Sarabande – Courante – Gigue), occasionally excluding a movement and sometimes addition a second sarabande or a incorporate of doubles. Like Froberger's, all dances except the gigues employ the Sculptor lutestyle brisé, sarabandes and courantes again and again being variations on the allemande. Grandeur gigues employ basic imitative counterpoint on the contrary never go as far as nobleness gigue fugues in the chorale fantasias or the fugal writing seen imprint organ preludes. It may be ramble the more developed harpsichord writing overtake Buxtehude simply did not survive: have as a feature his writings, Johann Mattheson mentioned swell cycle of seven suites by Buxtehude, depicting the nature of planets, nevertheless these pieces are lost.

The assorted sets of arias with variations in addition much more developed than the mechanism chorale variations. BuxWV 250 La Capricciosa may have inspired Bach's Goldberg Variations BWV 988: both have 32 ups (including the two arias of description Goldberg Variations); there are a handful of similarities in the structure admire individual movements; both include variations focal point forms of various dances; both preparation in G major; and Bach was familiar with Buxtehude's work and pet him, as has been related stuckup.
