Question
Vaughan Williams arranged this popular hymn for Queen Elizabeth’s coronation, and Hindemith’s Trauermusik in memory of George V quotes it via a Bach chorale. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this hymn in long meter whose G major melody first appeared in the 1551 Genevan Psalter, attributed to Louis Bourgeois. It was later set to a different psalm with lyrics by William Kethe (“Keith”), “All people that on Earth do dwell.”
ANSWER: “Old Hundredth” [or “Old 100th”; or “Old Hundred”; or “Old One Hundredth”; prompt on “Psalm 100” or similar; prompt on “Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow”]
[10e] Petrucci’s Odhecaton, the first movable-type book of polyphonic music, anthologized 100 chansons from this internationalized 15th-century school of Busnois (“boon-WAH”), Ockeghem, and Josquin (“joe-SCAN”).
ANSWER: Franco-Flemish School [accept Netherlandish School, Burgundian School, Low Countries School, Franco-Netherlandish School, Flemish School, Dutch School, or Northern School]
[10m] The Norwegian paganist Geirr Tveitt arranged 100 folk tunes from this region, but 40 were lost in a fire. Only recordings survive of his 2 concertos for a fiddle named for this region that has sympathetic strings, pearl inlay, and “troll tuning,” whose Lydian-mode slått music inspired Grieg during summer retreats.
ANSWER: Hardanger [accept Hardanger fiddle or hardingfele; accept Hundred Hardanger Tunes or Hundrad Hardingtonar or Airs from Hardanger or Hundred Folk Tunes from Hardanger etc.] (Tveitt’s nationalistic views are controversial and unclear, in light of his post-war isolation.)
