  • ABSTRACTS Deadline 10 July
    International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML) NAPLES, ITALY 20-25 JULY 2008 ABSTRACTS Monday July 21 at 11.00 Sources of Liturgical Music: Chant and Polyphony Presented by the IAML Programme Committee. Chair: Marco Gozzi (Università degli studi di Trento). Beneventan notated manuscripts at the Biblioteca Nazionale in Naples. Speaker: Luisa Nardini (University of Texas, Austin). This paper focuses on the notated Beneventan manuscripts held at the Biblioteca Nazionale in Naples. With the exception of the manuscript VI E 34, these codices have been under-investigated by music historians. My presentation will illustrate these manuscripts as a whole, tracing the history of their acquisition by the library, discussing their nature, provenance, and destination, as well as highlighting their relevance for the understanding of medieval chant traditions. Repertory for the Office published in Italy 1542-1725. Speaker: Jeffrey Kurtzman (Washington University, St. Louis). A survey of the repertory for the Office Hours of Vespers, Compline, and Matins published in Italy in the 16th- early 18th centuries. This repertory comprises by far the largest quantity of music circulating in Italy in this period and was the music most often heard by the largest number of people. Paper is based on c. 1500 prints from this period examined by author, eventually to appear in a database sponsored by the Fondazione Cini of Venice. Paper evidence and the dating of medieval choirbooks: a case study. Speaker: Rob C. Wegman (Princeton University). Musicologists like Peter Wright have made pathbreaking contributions to the study of medieval paper and watermarks, allowing us to date layers of centrally important manuscripts with ever greater accuracy and security.

Abstract: This article describes and analyzes a violin from a private Spanish collection, of uncertain authorship and geographical origin, assigned to the German school of the 18th century. It may be the work of the master Geigenbauer Matthias Poppeller or Popella, who arrived in Naples in 1685, following a long tradition begun in the 16th century by other transalpine craftsmen who built string instruments.

  • Exchange Report National Taiwan Univesity – 2017/18 Academic Year
    Exchange Report National Taiwan Univesity – 2017/18 Academic Year Introduction Art Historians who focus their studies on East Asian Art are required to not only speak at least one language of this region, but to also own a funded knowledge of this part of the world. Because my own opinion is that you cannot get to know a country by only reading about it, I applied at Heidelberg University’s International Office for some exchange programs in order to do a semester abroad in East Asia. My goals were to either start learning Japanese or to improve my Chinese (which I already studied for over five years then) as well as finding a topic for my Master’s Thesis. Thus, I was very happy when I finally got accepted for an exchange to the National Taiwan University – the best university in Taiwan. Studying there, I had the chance to learn classical Chinese characters for the first time, to take part in interesting courses (in English and Chinese), to find many new friends and to travel to a range of exciting places in and around Taiwan. Later, I really found a topic for my Master’s Thesis and got into contact with some museum curators, who helped me in conducting my first (field) research on it. I feel now, that I have gained a whole lot of practical experience in Taiwan and I am more than thankful for having had this opportunity. Living at the International Youth Center (Guo Qing Dorm) at the NTU The dormitory I picked as “preferred” in my application was the Guo Qing Dorm, which is located at the back gate of NTU campus, and I got a twin shared room there.
