  • Revisiting the Origins of the Italian Madrigal Using Machine Learning
    Revisiting the Origins of the Italian Madrigal (with machine learning) Julie E. Cumming Cory McKay Medieval and Renaissance Music Conference Maynooth, Ireland, July 6, 2018 1 The origins of the madrigal Current consensus • The madrigal emerges as a new genre of Italian-texted vocal music in the 1520s • The Italian-texted works by Verdelot are madrigals • It originated in Florence (and Rome?) in the 1520s But where did it come from? • The frottola (Einstein 1949) • The chanson and motet (Fenlon and Haar 1988) • Florentine song: carnival song, and improvised solo song (A. Cummings 2004) 2 Finding the origins: what happened before Verdelot? • Verdelot arrived in Florence in 1521 • Earliest sources of the madrigal New focus: Florence, 1515-1522 Music Printsbefore Verdelot Thanks to I. Fenlon, J. Haar, and A. Cummings Naming of Genres: Canzona in 1520s; Madrigale 1530 Prints (in or near Rome) • Pisano, Musica sopra le Canzone del petrarcha (partbooks, Petrucci, Fossombrone, 1520) (all Madrigals) • Motetti e Canzone I (partbooks, Rome, 1520) • Libro primo de la croce, choirbook, c. 1522 (surviving copy, later ed., Rome, Pasoti & Dorico, 1526) • Mix of frottole, villotte, and madrigals 4 Music MSS before Verdelot Thanks to I. Fenlon, J. Haar, and A. Cummings Florentine Manuscripts (all from Florence) • Florence, Basevi 2440, choirbook, c. 1515-22; 2 sections: • music with multiple stanzas of text (frottole) • through-composed works (madrigals & villotte) • Florence, BNC 164-167, partbooks, c. 1520-22 (4 sections) • Florence 164 or F 164 henceforth 5 My hypothesis The madrigal was deliberately created as a • high-style genre of secular music • that emulates the style of the motet Why? • Musical sources • Texts • Musical style • Cultural context (not today) 6 What do sources tell us? Madrigals are the first secular genre to be treated like Latin-texted motets in prints and manuscripts Copied and printed in partbooks (previously used only for Masses and motets) • Motetti e Canzone I (Rome, 1520), partbooks • Florence 164 (c.

    WOMEN AND THE LAW CONFERENCE RUTH BADER GINSBURG LECTURE SERIES 2001–2019 011219 WOMEN AND THE LAW CONFERENCE HISTORY Inaugurated in 2001, the Women and the Law Conference was the first lecture series in the western United States focusing exclusively on issues related to gender and the law. Created by Thomas Jefferson Professors Julie Greenberg, Susan Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg Tiefenbrun and Susan Bisom-Rapp, and fostered by a committed group of faculty, staff and students, the first conference earned rave reviews from its attendees, including practitioners and legal academics. Professor Deborah Rhode of Stanford Law School, a widely acknowledged expert on the status of women in the legal profession, and then-Chair of the American Bar Association’s Commission on Women in the Legal Profession, delivered the first keynote address. After her 2003 visit to Thomas Jefferson School of Law, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg generously created the Thomas Jefferson School of Law Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lecture, which at the time was one of only two lecture series bearing her name. Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lecturers Joan Williams, Martha Albertson Fineman, Kathryn Abrams, Vicki Schultz, Rochelle Dreyfuss, Barbara Palmer, Cheryl Hanna, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Stacy Leeds, Sarah Weddington, Susan Williams, Stacy Pedrozo, Leslie Abramson, Bryant Garth, Leticia Saucedo, and Linda C.

  • Reviewing Precinct Level Results of the June 2012 San Diego Mayoral Election
    Reviewing Precinct Level Results of the June 2012 San Diego Mayoral Election The Looming Battleground in Clairemont The race to become mayor of the City of San Diego has narrowed down to two finalists. In this policy brief the National University System Institute for Policy Research (NUSIPR) analyzed newly released electoral data from the San Diego County Registrar of Voters’ office using GIS software. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • The June mayoral primary was a partisan election. Interstate 8 continues to delineate a partisan divide in San Diego, which weighed heavily in the electoral outcome. GIS maps show that Republican DeMaio earned most of his votes in older, more conservative neighborhoods north of Interestate 8, while Democrat Filner won the lion’s share of votes among the younger, more diverse and liberal enclaves south of 8. Both candidates are likely to target low-propensity partisan voters that did not turn out for the June election, to shore up their base early in the fall election. • Support for Bonnie Dumanis and Nathan Fletcher lacked a geographic base. NUSIPR found that District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis and State Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher won only a handful of precincts outright, even when combining their votes. GIS mapping shows that there was no clear territory where either candidate earned deep voter support. Generally, Dumanis and Fletcher did best in parts of Carmel Valley, Point Loma, and Mission Valley. However, in only 9 precincts (out of a total of approximately 633) did the combined vote total of Dumanis and Fletcher exceed 50%. • Clairemont will be a high-stakes voter battleground for DeMaio and Filner in November.

  • Renaissance Terms
    Renaissance Terms Cantus firmus: ("Fixed song") The process of using a pre-existing tune as the structural basis for a new polyphonic composition. Choralis Constantinus: A collection of over 350 polyphonic motets (using Gregorian chant as the cantus firmus) written by the German composer Heinrich Isaac and his pupil Ludwig Senfl. Contenance angloise: ("The English sound") A term for the style or quality of music that writers on the continent associated with the works of John Dunstable (mostly triadic harmony, which sounded quite different than late Medieval music). Counterpoint: Combining two or more independent melodies to make an intricate polyphonic texture. Fauxbourdon: A musical texture prevalent in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, produced by three voices in mostly parallel motion first-inversion triads. Only two of the three voices were notated (the chant/cantus firmus, and a voice a sixth below); the third voice was "realized" by a singer a 4th below the chant. Glogauer Liederbuch: This German part-book from the 1470s is a collection of 3-part instrumental arrangements of popular French songs (chanson). Homophonic: A polyphonic musical texture in which all the voices move together in note-for-note chordal fashion, and when there is a text it is rendered at the same time in all voices. Imitation: A polyphonic musical texture in which a melodic idea is freely or strictly echoed by successive voices. A section of freer echoing in this manner if often referred to as a "point of imitation"; Strict imitation is called "canon." Musica Reservata: This term applies to High/Late Renaissance composers who "suited the music to the meaning of the words, expressing the power of each affection." Musica Transalpina: ("Music across the Alps") A printed anthology of Italian popular music translated into English and published in England in 1588.

  • Mirrors and Music in the Decameron
    Heliotropia 7.1-2 (2010) http://www.heliotropia.org Mirrors and Music in the Decameron t the end of the First Day of Boccaccio’s Decameron, Queen Pam- pinea urges the brigata to make music. Emilia promptly sings “In mine own beauty take I such delight That to no other love could I A 1 my fond affections plight,” a ditty about finding pleasure in one’s own ref- lection. She continues, “why seek out past delights, or new ones try When all content within my glass I find?”2 Scholars have interpreted Emilia’s mirror in myriad ways: as a symbol of truth, of God’s presence, or of Grammar, one of the Liberal Arts.3 In this essay, I will examine the mirror in relation to music, first investigating its significance in the Decameron, followed by a study of parallel examples in the Divine Comedy, visual im- ages of the period, including those by Lorenzetti, Cimabue and Giotto, and Trecento compositions by Lorenzo Masini. In so doing, I will establish that the mirror thoroughly enriched the primary texts in which it was imbed- ded, serving as a symbol of balance, judgment and transcendence. The Decameron’s most prominent mirror appears in Story 8 of the Sixth Day. Emilia, the singer of the mirror song in the First Day, also tells the story of a vainglorious woman: Cesca, the niece of Fresco da Celatico, spends much of her time criticizing others and trumpeting her own vir- tues. At the end of the story, her exasperated uncle implores: “If you can’t bear the sight of horrid people, my girl, I advise you for your own peace of mind, never to look at yourself in the glass” (466).4 This is followed by the 1 Decameron, translated by G.

    USC Dornsife in the News Archive - 2016 December December 22, 2016 The Conversation published an op-ed by Khatera Sahibzada, adjunct lecturer in applied psychology, on the practical application of a 13th century Sufi saying to managerial feedback in the present. "As long as managers always ensure their feedback is unbiased, essential and civil, it’s almost certain to be effective and help an employee grow," Sahibzada wrote. The New York Times quoted Stanley Rosen, professor of political science, on the efforts of Chinese movie production companies to reach worldwide audiences with the film "The Great Wall." USA Today quoted Matthew Kahn, professor of economics and spatial sciences, on President-elect Donald Trump's economic goals related to China. UPROXX quoted Robert English, associate professor of international relations, Slavic languages and literature, and environmental studies, on the reasons Russian media may have reported on the opening of an embassy by the California secessionist group Yes California. December 21, 2016 The Korea Times published commentary by Kyung Moon Hwang, professor of history and East Asian languages and cultures, on why the current political turmoil in South Korea should not be considered a "revolution." Hwang argues the final steps towards true democratization will finally yield the benefits from the country's previous revolution. December 20, 2016 NPR Chicago affiliate WBEZ-FM highlighted research by Duncan Ermini Leaf of the USC Schaeffer Center, Maria Jose Prados of USC Dornsife 's Center for Economic and Social Research and colleagues on the long-term benefits of preschool.
