Acknowledgements I have been privileged and fortunate to work with Professor Reinhard Strohm, who has supervised this dissertation with enthusiasm, patience and generosity of both his time and ideas. My thanks to him for his support and guidance throughout my postgraduate studies. In spring 1993, I visited Heidelberg University as an ERASMUS student. My thanks to Professor Ludwig Finscher for his time and encouragement at an early stage of this project. Special thanks also to Tim Crawford of King's College London who offered invaluable expertise and assistance in producing the music editions presented in Appendix I. Research for this dissertation was funded by a three-year grant awarded by The Humanities Research Board of the British Academy. I have enjoyed the help and cooperation of librarians and staff at many libraries including: the Music and Humanities Libraries at King's College London, the University of London Library, Senate House, the British Library, the Berlin Staatsbibliothek, the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich and the BischOfliche Zentralbibliothek in Regensburg. Finally, my thanks to all my friends and especially to my family who have been a constant source of support and encouragement throughout. Abstract Manuscript and printed sources attribute over 50 motets to Henricus Isaac (c. 1450-1517). This study focuses on the transmission, structure and function of Isaac's work in this genre. It begins by considering the implications of recent manuscript research on the dating and attributions of Isaac's motets. Several motets that have been incorrectly attributed to Isaac are newly-identified and the attributions of those motets classified as dubia by Martin Just are also reconsidered. Over half of Isaac's motets are settings of liturgical chant. The study analyses cantus firmus treatment in Isaac's chant settings. New chant sources are identified for three antiphons set by Isaac including the Marian antiphon 'Ave sanctissima Maria'. The influence of both local liturgical traditions and specific polyphonic repertories on Isaac's work is explored through comparison of the melodic versions of chant Isaac sets with contemporary chant sources as well as with contemporary polyphonic settings. The tempo relationship between tempus perfectum (0) and tempus imperfectum diminutum (0) in Isaac's motets is also studied. Comparison of the mensural organisation of motets in which perfect and imperfect time mensurations occur simultaneously with the mensural organisation of works in which the two mensurations appear successively highlights changes in the tempo relationship between 0 and 0. This study prompted a comparative analysis of the mensural organisation of Isaac's through-composed masses. Here, the interpretation of average note values as time series data is explored and new thoughts are offered on the correlation between tempo and rhythmic movement. Finally, the functions of Isaac's motets are considered. Specific contexts in which Isaac's motets were performed may be established through analysis of both their texts and transmission. It can be shown that Isaac's motets functioned as liturgical polyphony, as 'chapel music' and as musical propaganda. The study ends with an exploration of motets that may have originated from commissions. 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page VOLUME ONE Abstract 3 Table of contents 5 List of tables, figures and examples 8 Introduction 10 Isaac's motets: sources and attributions Introduction 28 29 Manuscript studies 29 - Munich 3154 35 - Berlin 40021 - Regensburg C. 120 39 The attributions of Isaac's motets 42 - Motets incorrectly attributed to Isaac 50 - Doubtful attributions 59 - Spurious motets 64 - Just's dubia 65 2 Cantus firmus treatment in Isaac's chant settings Introduction 83 Cantus firmus treatment in Isaac's chant settings 87 - Cantus firm us repeated 92 - Cantus firmus in notes of equal value 107 - Free cantus firmus elaborations 110 - Cantus firmus in superius 110 - Cantus finnus in bassus 115 - Migrating cantus firmus 121 - Cantus firmus in tenor and superius 128 - Cantus firmus in imitation 137 - Chant fantasias 142 - Chant settings in motet-like form 148 3 Isaac's chant settings and liturgical traditions: a preliminary study Introduction 164 Consulted chant sources 173 Newly-identified chant sources 177 - Ave sanctissima Maria 177 - Gaude, Dei genitrix 197 - Salve regina 210 Multiple settings of chant cantus firmi 211 - Argentum et aurum 212 - Virgo prudentissima 220 6 4 The tempo relationship between perfect and imperfect time in Isaac's motets Introduction 243 Perfect and imperfect time in Isaac's motets 246 - 0 decus ecclesiae 249 - Salve reginal 252 - Angeli archangeli / Comme femme desconfortée 253 - Optime divino I Da pacem / Sacerdos et pontifex 256 - Quid retribuam tibi, Leo 260 - Virgo prudentissima (a6) 262 - Salve regina II 267 5 The mensural organisation of Isaac's through-composed masses Introduction 273 The relative chronology of Isaac's through-composed masses 279 The correlation between tempo and rhythmic movement in 0 and 0 292 6 Cantus firmus and function in Isaac's motets Introduction 299 The functions of Isaac's motets 304 - Liturgical polyphony 305 - Chapel music 308 - Instrumental-type motets 311 - Musical propaganda 212 Cantus firmus and function 318 - Spiritus sanctus in te: Ludwig Senfi 321 7 VOLUME TWO Appendices I: Music editions 1.

    The Dating and Provenance of Bologna, Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale, MS Q 19 ROBERT NOSOW It ha, now been mm·e than twenty yea" 'ince the publication of Edward E. Lowinsky's edition of the Medici Co­ dex.' The theses presented by Lowinsky concerning the Medici Co­ dex and concerning Bologna, Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale, 92 MS Q 19, "the Rusconi Codex," have occasioned much comment and stimulated substantial new research. Most of the discussion concern­ ing Q 19 has been tied to the hypotheses set out by Lowinsky, and less has been said about the general problems presented by the manu­ script.2 In view of the recent publication of the manuscript in the Garland series of Renaissance Music in Facsimile, the time is ripe to synthesize some of the subsequent research findings-mostly pub­ lished as reviews of or responses to Lowinsky-and to add new evi­ dence that may present a solution to the problems of dating and provenance.'~ The question of the provenance of Q 19 has aroused a great deal of debate not only because of the importance of the collection, but because it offers so many different clues. I will deal briefly with the relevant aspects of physical structure and organization. The manu­ script comprises 211 paper folios, with 7 preliminary folios, 202 folios with original numeration in ink on the top right hand corner of each ' Edward E.

I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note w ill appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin film ing at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.

It will be alive to the best writing of a transnational and comparative nature and will cross canonical chronological divides of the Central Middle Ages, the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period. Renaissance History, Art and Culture intends to spark new ideas and encourage debate on the meanings, extent and influence of the Renaissance within the broader European world. It encourages engagement by scholars across disciplines – history, literature, art history, musicology, and possibly the social sciences – and focuses on ideas and collective mentalities as social, political, and cultural movements that shaped a changing world from ca 1250 to 1650.

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

    The Articulation of Cultural Identity Through Psalm Motets, Augsburg 1540–1585

    THE ARTICULATION OF CULTURAL IDENTITY THROUGH PSALM MOTETS, AUGSBURG 1540–1585 Megan K. Eagen A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Anne MacNeil Tim Carter John Nádas David Crook Ruth von Bernuth © 2016 Megan K. Eagen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Megan K. Eagen: The Articulation of Cultural Identity through Psalm Motets, Augsburg 1540–1585 (Under the direction of Anne MacNeil) In this dissertation, I analyze the social and religious climate in Augsburg from 1540–1585 through the lens of psalm motets. The period between the initial shockwave of the Reformation and the sociocultural upheavals that ultimately produced the Thirty Years War may be characterized as one of intense negotiations regarding religious freedoms. The environment encouraged and even necessitated the development of materials oriented toward specific confessional groups. At the same time, residents of biconfessional cities such as Augsburg needed to find subtle or nonconfrontative ways to express their views. Despite both nascent and deep-seated differences, Catholics and Protestants of diverse sects all used the Psalter. This study interprets selections and centonizations of musically set psalm texts as indicators of multireligious communal identities. Source materials consulted for this project include over one hundred prints and manuscripts of motets held at the Augsburg State and City Library and at the Bavarian State Library in Munich. The makeup of this repertory is defined by Augsburg’s close connection to the Habsburg dynasty: composers represented in these volumes were active almost exclusively within the bounds of the Holy Roman Empire, and many composed for imperial courts.
