  • Nativity of St John the Baptist, 24Th June 2018 How Many Times Do You
    Nativity of St John the Baptist, 24th June 2018 How many times do you reckon the name of St John the Baptist appears at Mass, normally? I say “normally”, because obviously today he gets bit more of a mention. Well, if we start from the start, we find his name twice in the list of saints from the priest‟s Confiteor: “Confiteor […] beato Ioanni Baptistae (I confess […] to blessed John the Baptist)”, and then “precor […] beatum Ioannem Baptistam (I beseech […] blessed John the Baptist)”. This is subsequently repeated in the Confiteor of the servers: St John is therefore mentioned four times at the beginning of Mass. We have to go further on, passed where we are at the moment, the homily or sermon, deep into the Offertory, and there we again encounter his name, this time in the prayer, “Suscipe, sancta Trinitas (Receive, O Holy Trinity)”, after the priest has washed his hands and returned to the centre of the altar: “Suscipe, sancta Trinitas, hanc oblationem, quam tibi offerimus (Receive, O Holy Trinity, this oblation which we offer unto thee) […] in honorem […] beati Ioannis Baptistae (in honour […] of blessed John the Baptist)”. To keep count: that is now five times. Then in the Canon of the Mass, in the list of saints after the Consecration, John the Baptist actually heads the list: “partem aliquam, et societatem donare digneris (graciously grant some share and fellowship), cum tuis sanctis Apostolis et Martyribus: cum Ioanne (with thy holy Apostles and Martyrs: with John)”. That is the sixth time. Lastly, St John the Baptist makes an appearance in the Last Gospel: “Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Ioannes (There was a man sent from God, whose name was John)” (Jn 1:6).

  • Pietro Aaron on Musica Plana: a Translation and Commentary on Book I of the Libri Tres De Institutione Harmonica (1516)
    Pietro Aaron on musica plana: A Translation and Commentary on Book I of the Libri tres de institutione harmonica (1516) Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Joseph Bester, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Charles Atkinson Burdette Green Copyright by Matthew Joseph Bester 2013 Abstract Historians of music theory long have recognized the importance of the sixteenth- century Florentine theorist Pietro Aaron for his influential vernacular treatises on practical matters concerning polyphony, most notably his Toscanello in musica (Venice, 1523) and his Trattato della natura et cognitione de tutti gli tuoni di canto figurato (Venice, 1525). Less often discussed is Aaron’s treatment of plainsong, the most complete statement of which occurs in the opening book of his first published treatise, the Libri tres de institutione harmonica (Bologna, 1516). The present dissertation aims to assess and contextualize Aaron’s perspective on the subject with a translation and commentary on the first book of the De institutione harmonica. The extensive commentary endeavors to situate Aaron’s treatment of plainsong more concretely within the history of music theory, with particular focus on some of the most prominent treatises that were circulating in the decades prior to the publication of the De institutione harmonica. This includes works by such well-known theorists as Marchetto da Padova, Johannes Tinctoris, and Franchinus Gaffurius, but equally significant are certain lesser-known practical works on the topic of plainsong from around the turn of the century, some of which are in the vernacular Italian, including Bonaventura da Brescia’s Breviloquium musicale (1497), the anonymous Compendium musices (1499), and the anonymous Quaestiones et solutiones (c.1500).

His developments of the hexachord system, solmization syllables, and music notation revolutionized the teaching and learning of music during his time and laid the foundation for our modern system of music. While previous theorists were interested in the philosophical and mathematical nature of music, Guido’s desire to aid singers in the learning process was practical.

  • Rhythm, Beat, Drum Pattern
    FH SBG MMA – Rhythm, Beat and Drum Pattern – Page 1 of 13 AUDITIVE GESTALTUNG Rhythm, Beat and Drum Pattern 1. Rhythm 1.1 Origins 1.2 Early Notation 1.3 Metrical foot 1.4 Modern Notation 1.5 Time signature (meter), beat and tempo 1.6 Beat, Downbeat, Upbeat, Backbeat, Breakbeat 1.7 Groove 1.8 Drum Pattern 1 Rhythm Rhythm (from Greek ῥυθμός – rhythmos, "any regular recurring motion, symmetry") is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as a "movement marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions." Rhythm is the timing of musical sounds and silences, as well as speech syllables. While rhythm most commonly applies to sound, such as music and spoken language, it may also refer to visual presentation, as "timed movement through space", such as in dance, video or film arts. 1.1 Origins At the most basic level, rhythm relates to our body: how we walk, our heartbeat, our breathing. Our urge to move in rhythm (dance) is probably designed to boost our energy level to prepare for a chase, a fight or a flight. Perceiving rhythm is the ability to master the 4th invisible dimension: time, and appears to be a unique trait in humans (animals show no similar appreciation of rhythm). 1.2 Early Notation In Western music, notation specifying longer and shorter note values evolved from the “Neume” notation type, prior to the invention of five-line staff. The earliest neumes were inflective marks which originally indicated the general shape and duration, but not necessarily the exact notes or rhythms to be sung.

  • A Brief History from Ancient Greek Musical Notation to West Musical Notation
    A brief history from Ancient Greek musical notation to West musical notation Ancient Greek musical notation was in use from at least the 6th century BC until approximately the 4th century AD; several complete compositions and fragments of compositions using this notation survive. The notation consists of symbols placed above text syllables. An example of a complete composition is the Seikilos epitaph, which has been variously dated between the 2nd century BC to the 1st century AD. Three hymns by Mesomedes of Crete exist in manuscript. The Delphic Hymns, dated to the 2nd century BC, also use this notation, but they are not completely preserved. Ancient Greek notation appears to have fallen out of use around the time of the Decline of the Roman Empire. A brief history of Byzantine Notation Introduction Byzantine music is vocal religious music, based on the monodic modal singing of Ancient Greece and the pre-Islamic Near East. The notation developed for it is similar in principle to subsequent Western notation, in that it is ordered left to right, and separated into measures. The main difference is that notation symbols are differential rather than absolute, i.e. they indicate pitch change (rise or fall), and the musician has to deduce correctly, from the score and the note they are singing presently, which note comes next. The pitch symbols themselves resemble brush strokes and are colloquially called gántzoi ("hooks") in Modern Greek. Notes themselves are represented in written form only between measures, as an optional reminder, along with modal and tempo directions if needed. Additional signs are used to indicate embellishments and microtones (pitch changes smaller than a semitone), both essential in Byzantine chant.

  • Theosophy of the Musical Scale
    Theosophy of the musical scale Richard Hodges Feb 2012 revised May 2021 © 2021 The traditional “solfa” names of the notes of the musical scale were first canonized around 1000 AD by Guido d'Arezzo, who invented a staff notation that was a precursor to our Western musical notation. He was charged by the Pope to standardize the chant used in Catholic liturgy, which had diverged into many different practices in different locales. His scale was: Ut Re Mi Fa Sol La. He gave a mnemonic for this scale based on the first stanza of a hymn sung in the Divine Office on June 24, the feast of John the Baptist. It goes: Ut queant laxis Resonare fibris, Mira gestorum Famuli tuorum, Solve polluti Labii reatum, Sancte Iohannes. which translates as: So that these your servants can, with all their voice, sing your wonderful feats, clean the blemish of our spotted lips, O Saint John! In this hymn, which is believed to have been written by d'Arezzo himself, each musical line except the last starts on the scale note whose name is its first two letters. You can hear the hymn sung in Gregorian chant, along with traditional d’Arezzian style notation, at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fMppPLocmo . Note that d'Arezzo's scale starts with Ut (our Do, see below) on G below middle C, which was known as Gamma in an old Greek system of tone notation; hence his sequence of notes was called gam-ut, which entered English as the word “gamut” meaning “everything.” The scale itself is called in Latin "gam," in French “la gamme.” Later, around 1600, the theorist Giovanni Doni changed the name of the root tone from "Ut" to "Do," and added Si, which d'Arezzo did not recognize as a scale tone.

    Orality, Literacy, and the Early Notation of the Office Hymns SUSAN BOYNTON n recentyears, the relationshipbetween orality and writinghas become one of the most importantareas in the studyof the EuropeanMiddle Ages.Historians have reached a broadconsensus that oral and written tra- ditionscomplemented one otherto varyingdegrees from the ninththrough the twelfthcenturies. Written documents supported or reinforcedongoing oraltraditions without replacing them, and oral communication played a cen- tralrole even in highlyliterate communities.' Much scholarship on oralityand literacyemphasizes the increasedimportance of writtenand literate modes in the Carolingianperiod and the highMiddle Ages; historians of Westernmusic havefocused most closelyon the interplayof oral and writtentransmission in the ninthand tenth centuries. With regard to the earliestsurviving examples of Westernmusical notation, the importanceof oralitymay have been over- stated.2A morefruitful approach would interpret the functionand context of This article is dedicated to Michel Huglo.
