About this exposition

The research presents the Musicalische Gemüths-Ergötzung, oder Arien (RISM A/I, K 2009) by Jacob Kremberg, an old print published in 1689 in Dresden. The Kremberg’s book contains 40 arias for voice and continuo/figured bass, with tablature for lute, angelica, viola da gamba and baroque guitar. Due to the complexity of the issues contained in Kremberg's collection, particular emphasis is placed on the viola da gamba part. This part alone can be treated as an independent intabulations of songs that can be performed solo on the instrument. The first part consists of a description of the source, biographical information on the composer, a methodological reflection and an example of an editorial commentary. The subject of tablature notation and the tunings used by Kremberg in the viola da gamba part is also discussed here. In the second part, which is a preview of the planned editing work, examples of editions of several songs are included. Moreover, the research presents some information discovered by the author which had not been investigated before, like identification of the authorship of some of the poems used by the composer as lyrics. The presented research is a preliminary phase of a larger project, which the author intends to continue in the coming years and which aims to publish the first complete modern edition of Kremberg's collection of arias.
