  • Trent 91; First Steps Towards a Stylistic Classification (Revised 2019 Version of My 2003 Paper, Originally Circulated to Just a Dozen Specialists)
    Trent 91; first steps towards a stylistic classification (revised 2019 version of my 2003 paper, originally circulated to just a dozen specialists). Probably unreadable in a single sitting but useful as a reference guide, the original has been modified in some wording, by mention of three new-ish concordances and by correction of quite a few errors. There is also now a Trent 91 edition index on pp. 69-72. [Type the company name] Musical examples have been imported from the older version. These have been left as they are apart from the Appendix I and II examples, which have been corrected. [Type the document Additional information (and also errata) found since publication date: 1. The Pange lingua setting no. 1330 (cited on p. 29) has a concordance in Wr2016 f. 108r, whereti it is tle]textless. (This manuscript is sometimes referred to by its new shelf number Warsaw 5892). The concordance - I believe – was first noted by Tom Ward (see The Polyphonic Office Hymn[T 1y4p0e0 t-h15e2 d0o, cpu. m21e6n,t se suttbtinigt lneo] . 466). 2. Page 43 footnote 77: the fragmentary concordance for the Urbs beata setting no. 1343 in the Weitra fragment has now been described and illustrated fully in Zapke, S. & Wright, P. ‘The Weitra Fragment: A Central Source of Late Medieval Polyphony’ in Music & Letters 96 no. 3 (2015), pp. 232-343. 3. The Introit group subgroup ‘I’ discussed on p. 34 and the Sequences discussed on pp. 7-12 were originally published in the Ex Codicis pilot booklet of 2003, and this has now been replaced with nos 148-159 of the Trent 91 edition.

  • Introduction to Instalment 2
    89 INTRODUCTION TO INSTALMENT 2 This instalment of the Trent 91 edition concentrates on functional chant settings, most of which are probably the work of the ‘chief mind’ of the Trent 91 paraphrase collection. The Dedication Propers (nos 22-27) are similar to the Salve festa dies and Sedit angelus settings given in my previous editions: the Superius-based chant is barely elaborated at all except at cadence-points. But the Dedication Propers tend to have dispensable Contra primus voices, and in other instances amongst these settings the Contra primus is almost dispensable. This leads me to the suspicion that these pieces might have been mostly worked out in three- voice form before the fourth parts were added. The Gradual, Alleluia and Offertory settings (nos 23, 24 and 26) are notably extended, with devices such as faster-moving lower voices and lower-voice motivic imitation enriching the texture (although some of this imitation might be fortuitous, given the way that the four-part texture may have been created). Also, the way in which the fourth part has been added sometimes creates diminished fifths (see no. 26, 106-108 and no. 27 at 6). Little more need be said about these settings except that their similarity and their copying together in Trent 91 are persuasive that they were a specially composed set, even if they are slightly disordered in the manuscript. Perhaps the stylistically similar Dedication hymn setting (no. 28) was also part of this set. A longish search through fifteenth-century sources also reveals that these may be the earliest extant complete set of polyphonic Dedication Propers.

Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven staying in Jerusalem. At this sound, they gathered in a large crowd, but they were confused because each one heard them speaking in his own language. They were astounded, and in amazement they asked, “Are not all these people who are speaking Galileans? Then how does each of us hear them in his native language? We are Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya near Cyrene, as well as travelers from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God.” RESPONSORIAL PSALM Ps 104: 1, 24, 29-30, 31, 34 Bless the Lord, O my soul!

  • Triduum 2021
    2021 Paschal Triduum Bending Toward Justice 1 SANKOFA "go back and take it" symbol of positive and active remembering Our elders say, “It is not forbidden to return and take what you forget.” Remembering the past, from where we come, helps to know the future, where we’re going; both the past and the future determine the present, where we stand and who we are, now. We gather to celebrate the memorial of our liberator, Jesus. We do as he commanded: “Do this in remembrance of me” (1 Corinthians 11.24-25). During the Paschal Triduum we do not reenact the events of the suffering and death of Jesus. Rather, we come together to engage in “holy remembering” in which we experience this drama as if we are part of it. And indeed, we are part of this always-unfolding Paschal mystery! Welcome, and enter in! 2 The Easter Triduum: Marking the days of Jesus’ Passion and Resurrection. Prepared by the days of Lent, Christians celebrate on these holiest of days the saving work God has accomplished in Christ. From the events remembered these days, so sorrowful and so joyful, the Church learns its deepest lessons. In rites and words, the mysteries of Jesus’ final hours are with us again, His last supper, His passion, His cruel suffering, His rising from the dead. And we discover the answer to the age old questions: Does God love us? Is God merciful? Does God care about us? We have only to look and learn from Jesus Christ. These are days for fixing our eyes on the holy mystery of His cross and filling our ears with the words of His gospel.
