PAUL HINDEMITH:
MORGENMUSIK
Paul Hindemith, (born November 16, 1895, Hanau, near Frankfurt am Main, Germany—died December 28, 1963, Frankfurt am Main), was one of the principal German composers of the first half of the 20th century and a leading musical theorist. He sought to revitalize tonality—the traditional harmonic system that was being challenged by many other composers—and also pioneered in the writing of Gebrauchsmusik, or “utility music,” compositions for everyday occasions. He regarded the composer as a craftsman (turning out music to meet social needs) rather than as an artist (composing to satisfy his own soul). As a teacher of composition he probably exerted an influence on most of the composers of the generation that followed him.

GIOVANNI GABRIELI:
CANZON per SONARE DUODECIMI TONI
Giovanni Gabrieli, (born 1556?, Venice, Italy—died August 12?, 1612, Venice), Italian Renaissance composer, organist, and teacher, celebrated for his sacred music. After 1587 Giovanni’s principal publications were the two immense Sacrae symphoniae of 1597 and 1615, both of which contained purely instrumental music for church use or massive choral and instrumental motets for the liturgy. He usually conceived the music for separated choirs and showed an increasing tendency to specify which instruments were to be used and which choirs were to consist of soloists and full choir, as well as to distinguish the musical style of each, thus initiating a completely new approach to the creation of musical colour and orchestration.
