    Prologue La harpe de melodie faite saunz mirancholie par plaisir doit bien cescun resjorr pour l'armonie orr, sonner et vei'r. J With the prior verses begins one of the most fascinating musical works in the ars subtilior style, composed by the master musician Jacob de Senleches. This composer, as his name suggests, was a native of northern France whose scant biographical details indicate he was a valued musician at courts in the south at Castile, Navarre and possibly Avignon.2 La harpe de melodie typifies several aspects of the present study. Firstly, its presence in a n1anuscripe copied in the city of Pavia in Lombardy indicates the cultivation of ostensibly French music in the ars subtilior style in northern Italy. Secondly, its musical notation contains novel, experimental notational devices and note shapes that parallel intellectual developments in other fields of culture in this period. I "The melodious harp made without melancholy to please, well may each person rejoice to hear, sing and hear its harmony." (All translations are mine, unless otherwise specified.) 2 The conclusion that Jacob de Senleches was a native of northern France is made on the premise that Senleches is the near-homophone of Senlecques, a village just south of Calais in the County of Artois. The only surviving archival evidence concerning Jacob de Senleches consists of a dispensation made at the Court of Navarre by Charles II of Navarre on 21 sl August, 1383 which speCifies: ... 100 libras a Jacomill de Sen/aches, juglar de harpe, para regresar a donde se encontraba el cardenal de Aragon, su maestro (" 100 libras for Jacob de Senleches, player of the harp, to return to where he was to meet the Cardinal of Aragon, his master."), Jlid.

    Music 10A: Survey of Music Literature John Dornenburg Guidelines For

    Music 10A: Survey of Music Literature John Dornenburg Guidelines for Listening Assignments: Extra sheets are in the Listening Lab All blanks must be completed with the following information: Composition No. refers to the number of the example in the Fuller anthology. Title refers to the full name of a given piece of music. Some pieces are simply named by the first words of the text, while others may be distinguished by their opus numbers and/or keys. The Fuller anthology gives titles in boldface type. Composer/Dates: names are underlined in Fuller. If the composer is not known (and you have checked in the notes which follow the example to be sure) the piece should be attributed to Anonymous (or abbreviated to Anon.). Give composer or composition dates. Period: write in the general historic time period in which the example was composed: e.g. Early Medieval, Notre Dame School, 13th Century, Ars Nova, Trecento, Ars Subtilior, Early Renaissance, Early Baroque, etc. Genre refers to the specific musical category illustrated by the example. This is usually indicated in Fuller beneath the piece's title (e.g. organum duplum, votive antiphon, Troubadour song, ballade, chanson, cyclic Mass, motet, chanson, ricercare, cantata, etc.). Sacred means that the music has a religious text. Secular means that the music is not religious. Theme or important features: On the music staff provided you must write in the main theme or important structural feature which identifies the example under study. For example, this should show the tenor and duplum voices in organum, the double leading tone cadence of the Ars Nova, the cantus firmus and head motif in a cyclic mass, or a bit of figured bass in monody.

EVANS has been approved for the School of Music and the College of Fine Arts by Richard D. Wetzel Professor of Music History and Literature Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT EVANS, MICHAEL C., M.M., March 2011, Music History and Literature A New Look At Ars Subtilior Notation and Style in the Codex Chantilly, Ms. 564 Director of Thesis: Richard D. Wetzel The ars subtilior is a medieval style period marked with a high amount of experimentation and complexity, lying in between the apex of the ars nova and the newer styles of music practiced by the English and the Burgundians in the early fifteenth century. In scholarly accounts summarizing the period, however, musicologists and scholars differ, often greatly, on the precise details that comprise the style. In this thesis, I will take a closer look at the music of the period, with special relevance to the Codex Chantilly (F-CH-564), the main source of music in the ars subtilior style. In doing so, I will create a more exact definition of the style and its characteristics, using more precise language.

    Ars subtilior in Organ Playing c.1380–1420 Another Glimpse into a Late Medieval Unwritten Performance Practice David Catalunya We have long known that the organ was a key element in the solemnization of late medieval liturgy. Evidence for the existence of church organs and professional organists in the fourteenth century is omnipresent throughout Europe. 1 Church customaries, ordinals, and references in different kinds of historical documents give us a rough sense of the liturgical uses of the organ, namely the chant-or- gan alternatim practice at Mass and Vespers and the performance of keyboard arrangements of vocal compositions such as motets and secular songs. In contrast to contemporaneous repertories of vocal polyphony, however, surviving sources of keyboard music are extremely rare. 2 This lack of sources is primarily due to the * This essay was written at the University of Oxford in the context of the ERC project „Music and Late Medieval European Court Cultures“ (malmecc.eu).

    Adapting the Concept of Proportio to Rhythm in the Ars Subtilior: Ugolino Da Orvieto's Compositions and His Statements on Prop

    Elisabeth Hufnagel Adapting the Concept of Proportio to Rhythm in the Ars subtilior: Ugolino da Orvieto’s Compositions and his Statements on Proportion Signs in Codex Casanatense 2151 Abstract: Music manuscripts as well as music treatises from the early fifteenth century bear witness to major adaptations in music notation. The compositions of the so-called Ars subtilior feature notational innovations (e.g. new note shapes, notes in differently coloured ink, and proportion signs) which enable the depic- tion of complex rhythms. Simultaneously, discussions of notational innovations appear in music treatises, which were used in contexts of teaching and learning. This paper aims to investigate to what extent the adaptations in music treatises and compositions are interrelated, focusing on the manuscript Rome, Biblioteca Casanatense, 2151, which transmits three songs as well as the music treatise Declaratio musicae disciplinae. Both songs and treatise are attributed to the Ital- ian music theorist and composer Ugolino da Orvieto (c. 1380–1452). A compari- son of proportion signs contained in Ugolino’s songs and his statements on music notation will allow us to explore the question whether teachings on music reflect actual notational practice and vice versa.
