1 LA MUSICA DELLA COMMEDIA progetto a cura di Suor Julia Bolton Holloway, Federico Bardazzi, Marco Di Manno consulenza artistica Carla Zanin ENSEMBLE SAN FELICE direzione Federico Bardazzi videomaker Federica Toci LA MUSICA DELLA COMMEDIA TESTI INFERNO 2. Vexilla regis prodeunt inferni Coro dei demoni [25 marzo 1300, Venerdì Santo. Non c'è musica nell'Inferno salvo questo riferimento all'inno dei Crociati (in particolare Templari) cantato il Venerdi Santo alla Croce. Questo inno è qui citato da Virgilio pagano in riferimento all’inferno, il luogo degli dei falsi e bugiardi, mentre mostra a Dante il sovrano degli inferi, Satana. Le anime dei dannati sono costrette a cantare questo inno sacro sotto forma di parodia in onore di Satana. Il testo del Vexilla Regis è attribuito a Venanzio Onorio Clemenziano Fortunato (Duplavilis, odierna Valdobbiadene, 530 – Poitiers, 607) che fu uno degli ultimi autori di poesie in lingua latina, biografo di santi, vescovo; è venerato come santo dalla Chiesa cattolica.] [It is Good Friday, 25 March, 1300. There is no music in the Inferno except this reference to the Crusaders’ hymn (especially the Templars) sung on Good Friday at the Cross. This hymn is cited here by pagan Virgil in reference to Hell, the place degli dei falsi e bugiardi (of the false and lying gods), while he shows Dante Hell’s Ruler, Satan. The souls of the damned are forced to sing this sacred hymn parodically in Satan’s honour. MANCA The text of the ‘Vexilla Regis’ is attributed to Venantius Honorius Clementius Fortunatus (Duplavilis, formerly Valdobbiadene, 530 – Poitiers, 607) who was a late Latin poet, biographer of saints, SAINT NEL VIDEO bishop and venerated in the Church as a saint.] Voce recitante “Vexilla regis prodeunt’ inferni verso di noi; però dinanzi mira” disse 'l maestro mio, “se tu ’l discerni” (Inf.

Arms, a Saint and Inperial Sedendo Fra Piu` Stelle: the Illuminator of Mod A
Arms, A Saint and Inperial sedendo fra piu` stelle: The Illuminator of Mod A JASON STOESSEL Some 600 years ago a north Italian illuminator sat decorating the parchment leaves of a collection of mainly French- texted polyphonic songs.1 His task was to provide a decorated initial for each song, motet, or piece of sacred music using gold leaf with red, green, blue, and rose-pink paints. He responded to certain texts by adorning their margins with small, often entertaining images of people or animals that art historians call drolleries. In the margin of Jacob de 1 Senleches’s En ce gracieux temps, in which the poet recalls the nightin- gale’s song interrupted by the raucous call of the cuckoo, our illuminator painted two birds.2 For another song, in which the poet pledges to serve This article has benefited from access to the Département des Manuscrits and the Département des Monnaies, Médailles et Antiques, at the Bibliothe`que Nationale de France, the Biblioteca Estense Universitaria of Modena, the Warburg Institute of London, and the Interlibrary Loans Department of Dixson Library, University of New England, Armidale. I especially thank Giuliano Di Bacco, Margaret Bent, Rex Eakins, Leofranc Holford- Strevens, and the anonymous peer-reviewers for their contribu- tions. For advice on medieval astrology and Italian manuscript illumination, I thank David Juste and Peter Kidd respectively. 1 The most recent inventory and study of Mod A is found in Anne Stone, The Man- uscript Modena, Biblioteca Estense, a.M.5.24: Commentary (Lucca: Lim Editrice, 2005). Mod A appears in facsimile as Il codice a.M.5.24 (ModA), Ars Nova–Nuova Serie I/a (Facsimile) (Lucca: Libreria Musicale Italiana, 2003).

04 Chapter 3 Stoessel
Chapter 3 : A French legacy in the hands of Italian masters: The manuscript Modena, Biblioteca estense, a.M.5.24 (olim lat. 568) The contents of parchment manuscript a.M.5.24 (olim Lat. 568; IV.D.5) now shelved in the Biblioteca Estense e Universitaria di Modena (henceforth MOe5.24) represent the cultivation of the ars subtilior style in northern and central Italy. Although the manuscript is connected through its repertoire to several other musical manuscripts from the same era, for the most part it contains unique works ascribed to composers with Italian geographical origins. This manuscript attests to the international status of the ars subtilior style, even if this internationalism resided in the eclecticism of a limited number of musicians practising music on the north Italian peninsula. Its value as a testimonial to the local practices in musical style and notational processes without doubt necessitates further examination. In particular the question of this source's origin, dating and relation to other extant sources requires reconsideration, despite the presence of several studies already conducted by musicologists during the course of the twentieth century. Although already known in literary scholarship of the later nineteenth century, I Friedrich Ludwig was the first scholar to draw serious attention to musical aspects of this codex. 2 Johannes Wolf included its inventory and examples of its unusual notation in his pioneering Geschichte der Mensural-Notation. 3 Thirteen years later, the texts contained in this manuscript were published in a diplomatic edition by G. Bertoni.4 In 1923, a catalogue of musical works in the Estense library compiled by Pio Lodi was published.

Recycling Reversed Studies in the History of Polyphony in the Northern Low Countries Around 1400

G.J. van der Zwaan, ingevolge het besluit van het college voor promoties in het openbaar te verdedigen op vrijdag 18 mei 2018 des middags te 2.30 uur door Eliane Andrea Fankhauser geboren op 24 juli 1986 te Winterthur, Zwitserland Promotor: Prof.dr. K. Kügle This thesis was accomplished with financial support from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). Acknowledgements My first encounter with the polyphonic fragments which are the subject of this study happened on an afternoon at the Special Collections of the Utrecht University Library. The fragments were presented during a general introduction into the Special Collection’s keepings of music manuscript and fragments. Immediately, I was fascinated by the frag- ments’ formats, notational features, and music and text scripts. That a research project about these fragments would be anything but a simple undertaking was apparent from the very deteriorated state of some of the fragment leaves. Nevertheless, I was eager to delve into them. If only I examined them closely enough, these—at first glance—random assemblies of fragment leaves will reveal more about their genesis and history of use, so I thought. This idea kept me going during the whole process of doing research. That it proved wrong may be a disappoint- ment at first sight but really this is one of the most important insights that I will take with me in my further career.

A partir d’aquest moment, els aspectes profans comencen a prendre un paper dominant en el món de les arts. A diferència de l’Ars antiqua, gran part de la producció musical es trasllada dels centres religiosos a les cases de la noblesa. Fins aquest moment, l’estil musical propi de la noblesa fou el moviment trobadoresc, però a finals del segle XIII, aquest món cau en decadència per donar pas a l’Ars nova i posteriorment, a l’Ars subtilior. Fins i tot la figura del joglar queda desprestigiada fins tenir la consideració d’un titellaire o músic de carrer, donant pas als ministrers (instrumentistes) i als xantres (cantants)1.

Pérotin: Viderunt Omnes “Cadd9/G”
Statistical analysis of a music database to investigate historical changes in consonance and dissonance Richard Parncutt Centre for Systematic Musicology, University of Graz, Austria Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities University of Graz 15 March 2016 SysMus Graz Statistical analysis of a music database to investigate historical changes in consonance and dissonance As music changed historically, so too did concepts and percepts of consonance and dissonance (C/D). Assuming that consonant tone combinations generally occur more often than dissonant, we evaluated C/D by analyzing a representative database of unaccompanied vocal polyphony from seven centuries (13th to 19th). Method: We found electronic scores in the internet, assigned all pitches to the 12-tone chromatic scale, and used the Humdrum Toolkit (Huron) to count pitch patterns, labeling them as pitch-class sets (Forte). For simultaneous tones, we considered chords of three pitch classes (triads). The most consonant triads in the 14th-16th centuries corresponded to today’s major (in semitones: 047), minor (037), suspended (027) and diminished (036) in that order, plus 025/035 (e.g. CDF, DFG). With time, major and minor became relatively more common. We used this data to test psychological models of C/D based on roughness (fast beating), harmonicity (similarity to harmonic series), diatonicness (scale belongingness) and evenness (spacing around chroma cycle). Simultaneous C/D depended mainly on roughness, harmonicity and familiarity. For successive tones, we considered tones that immediately precede and follow triads. Profiles were remarkably independent of preceding versus following as well as century, suggesting they were determined primarily by stimulus properties. We compared profiles with psychoacoustic predictions and results of listening tests, and tested whether profile peaks corresponded to chord roots, missing fundamentals, completion tones (to complete a familiar tetrad), fifth-related tones, or diatonic tones.
