Oct. 2021 ASPECTS OF TONAL COHERENCE IN THE MOTElS OF JOSQUIN Volume I A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD University of London by Dana Cristle Collins Judd King's College 1993 BIBL LONDON UNIV ABSTRACT ASPECTS OF TONAL COHERENCE IN THE MOTETS OF JOSQUIN This thesis presents analyses of motets attributed to Josquin des Prez and offers a model for exploring tonal coherence in sacred vocal polyphony from about 1500. It also addresses aspects of genre, function, style, relationship of theory to practice, geographic influence, source dissemination, and attribution in this repertory. The analyses suggest a re-evaluation of Josquin's motet oeuvre; the theoretical perspective is eclectic, uniting analytic and contextual-historical observations. Chapters 1 to 3 develop a modern theoretical framework which relies on principles articulated by Renaissance theorists. Theoretical statements, especially about 'mode', the sub-texts created by musical examples and citations, arid compositional determinants of pitch structure (text form and expression, formal organization, use of pre-existing material, and so forth) are considered along with the practicalities of a musical tradition rooted in plainchant, hexachordal manipulation of the gamut, and counterpoint. The theory proposed here provides a designation for, and identifies the markers of three main tonal categories, described by hexachordal nomenclature as Ut, Re, and Mi tonalities. Each consists of, and is defined by, a distinct collection of 'modal types', melodic-contrapuntal paradigms identifiable in a variety of structural guises. Chapters 4 to 6 explore Ut/Re IMi tonalities in Josquin's motets in detail. Chapter 7 concentrates on the gospel motets and illustrates the maintenance of characteristics of the gospel tone, creating tonal profiles unique to this sub-genre of motet and suggestive of 'chant-based' tonality. Chapter 8 treats psalms and other motets first appearing in late German sources, identifying 'imitations' of securely attributed Josquin motets and considering questions of authorship in this group of 3 motets. The final chapter summarizes the most important observations about Ut/Re IMi tonality and Josquin's motet style, and suggests directions for future research on the question of tonal coherence in music from about 1500.

  • Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
    Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

Doctor of Philosophy (Musicology), May, 1996, 282 pp., 101 tables, references, 127 titles. Though cadences have long been recognized as an aspect of modality, Gallus Dressier's treatise Praecepta musicae poeticae (1563) offers a new understanding of their relationship to mode and structure. Dressier's comments suggest that the cadences in the exordium and at articulations of the text are "principal" to the mode, shaping the tonal structure of the work. First, it is necessary to determine which cadences indicate which modes. A survey of sixteenth-century theorists uncovered a striking difference between Pietro Aron and his followers and many lesser-known theorists, including Dressier.

  • 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).

  • A Case Study in Hexachordal Solmization As a Guide to Musica Recta and Musica Ficta in Fifteenth-Century Vocal Music
    From the Singer's Point of View: A Case Study in Hexachordal Solmization as a Guide to Musica Recta and Musica Ficta in Fifteenth-Century Vocal Music By Daniel Zager A treatise by the sixteenth-century Papal musician Ghiselin Danckerts preserves the details of an interesting controversy among some professional singers in Rome. Presuppositions concerning modal purity together with cer­ tain ambiguities of unspecified accidentals in a Lamentation setting by the Spanish composer Juan Escribano combined to provide these performers with some difficulties in the matter of the pitches to be, sung. In his discus­ sion of this episode, Lewis Lockwood observes that "many performers of the time must have found the problem as difficult as we do today."! Our difficul­ ties in such questions of pitch, and in the concomitant consideration of edito­ rial accidentals, derive from at least two considerations. First, modern editors have not always made a consistent conceptual dis­ tinction between musica ficta and musica recta. The term musica ficta has fre­ quently been used incorrectly to embrace all of the editorial accidentals added to modern scores of Renaissance music. In fact, many of these editori­ al accidentals, specifically many Bhs, may be explained and should be under­ stood in terms of the standard system of musica recta as delineated in the gamut, the theoretical framework by which the fifteenth-century composer and singer defined musical space! Musicaficta, on the other hand, refers only to pitches outside of the gamut. The distinction is crucial, for while the fif­ teenth-century singer, and, by implication, his modern counterpart, would normally avoid entering ficta hexachords unless necessary, there was simply no reason to avoid the Bhs of musica recta.

This instability had itS rootS in, among other thingS, the religiouS movement known aS the Reformation. ProteStant and Catholic factionS relied upon biblical textS, SermonS, tractS and other circulating workS to Spread their propaganda, with muSical SettingS of the PSalms alSo finding a part in thiS diSSemination. Beginning in the reign of Edward VI, the metrical pSalterS of the Anglican Church functioned aS perSonal devotional inStrumentS aimed at laity poSSeSSing limited muSical and academic training. They provided, in their Simple tuneS and metricized textS, an eaSy meanS of memorizing the PSalms. Latin motetS, on the other hand, eSpecially thoSe circulating in copied manuScript collectionS in the latter half of the sixteenth century, reflected the political situation of EngliSh CatholicS who were legally unable to worShip openly by incorporating Such textS aS PSalm 50 [51] (Miserere mei, Deus) and PSalm 78 [79] (Deus, venerunt gentes) into lamentS of perSecution.

  • The Sources and the Performing Traditions. Alexander Agricola: Musik Zwischen Vokalität Und Instrumentalismus, Ed
    Edwards, W. (2006) Agricola's songs without words: the sources and the performing traditions. Alexander Agricola: Musik zwischen Vokalität und Instrumentalismus, ed. Nicole Schwindt, Trossinger Jahrbuch für Renaissancemusik 6:pp. 83-121. http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/4576/ 21th October 2008 Glasgow ePrints Service https://eprints.gla.ac.uk Warwick Edwards Agricola’s Songs Without Words The Sources and the Performing Traditions* In 1538 the Nuremberg printer Hieronymus Formschneider issued a set of part- books entitled Trium vocum carmina1 and containing a retrospective collection of one hundred untexted and unattributed three-voice compositions, six of which can be assigned to Agricola. Whoever selected them and commissioned the publication added a preface (transcribed, with English translation in Appendix pp. 33–4) that offers – most unusually for the time – a specific explanation for leaving out all the words. This turns out to have nothing to do with performance, let alone the possible use of instruments, which are neither ruled in nor ruled out. Nor does it express any worries about readers’ appetites for texts in foreign languages, or mention that some texts probably never existed in the first place. Instead, the author pleads, rather surprisingly, that the appearance of the books would have been spoilt had words variously in German, French, Italian and Latin been mixed in together. Moreover, the preface continues, the composers of the songs had regard for erudite sonorities rather than words. The learned musician, then, will enjoy the
