First and foremost, this project could never have come to fruition without the support and encouragement of my advisor, Emma Dillon, who took me under her wing the moment I arrived in Philadelphia. Her seminars sparked my interest in the study of manuscripts as material objects and were the starting point for this project.

Her suggestions and comments have pushed me to clarify my thoughts and to investigate questions I might otherwise have left aside. The rest of my committee deserves recognition and many thanks as well. Emily Dolan has been an invaluable mentor as both a scholar and a teacher throughout my time at Penn.

The Early Medieval Music (500-1150). i. Early chant traditions Chant (or plainsong) is a monophonic sacred form which represents the earliest known music of the Christian Church. The simplest, syllabic chants, in which each syllable is set to one note, were probably intended to be sung by the choir or congregation, while the more florid, melismatic examples (which have many notes to each syllable) were probably performed by soloists. Plainchant melodies (which are sometimes referred to as a “drown,” are characterized by the following: A monophonic texture; For ease of singing, relatively conjunct melodic contour (meaning no large intervals between one note and the next) and a restricted range (no notes too high or too low); and Rhythms based strictly on the articulation of the word being sung (meaning no steady dancelike beats). Chant developed separately in several European centers, the most important being Rome, Hispania, Gaul, Milan and Ireland. Chant was developed to support the regional liturgies used when celebrating Mass. Each area developed its own chant and rules for celebration. In Spain and Portugal, Mozarabic chant was used, showing the influence of North Afgican music. The Mozarabic liturgy survived through Muslim rule, though this was an isolated strand and was later suppressed in an attempt to enforce conformity on the entire liturgy.

Classification historique : un survol 1 Classification historique : un survol Époque Moderne (1900-1950) Le Néo-classicisme (1920-1960) Post-Moderne A1 3 Classification historique : un survol A1 4 2 Classification historique : un survol Un changement de période artistique coïncide en général avec l’évolution de l’un ou de plusieurs de ses éléments de langage (grammaire, vocabulaire, effets de style, modes d’expression, etc.). En musique dite « sérieuse », la succession de périodes artistiques se joue parfois en termes de dizaines d’années seulement (ex: Classique); en musique pop, ces temps s’avèrent encore plus réduits. De plus, il arrive que certaines de ces périodes se chevauchent au lieu de se succéder. À partir du Romantisme, des sous-périodes se greffent aux périodes principales afin de mieux expliciter les tangentes esthétiques complémentaires - voire contradictoires ! -, de celles-ci. A1 5 Classification historique : un survol Ces périodes artistiques s’enchaînent souvent, chez les créateurs qui y participent, selon des principes de réaction : naturel vs artificiel; complexité vs simplicité; émotivité vs rationalité, etc. Théorie de la double pente linéaire croisée : Depuis mille ans, on assiste à la complexification ou la montée en importance des paramètres du langage musical, de la musique profane, de l’utilisation d’instruments de musique, de la présence des femmes dans les activités musicales, des formes et durées des œuvres musicales, ainsi que de leur diffusion et pénétration au sein de la population au détriment de la musique sacrée, de l’utilisation de la voix, de la présence nettement majoritaire des hommes, du symbolisme et et des métalangages musicaux.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION T HIS volume, the seventh in the series Polyphonic lv1usic of the Fourteenth Century, contains the music of Vincenzo da Ri mini, Rosso de Chollegrana, D onato da Firenze, Gherardello da Firenze, and Lorenzo da Firenze, whose compositions are representative of the middle period of trecento polyphonic music, circa 1 3 5o to 1 375. Little is known about the li ves of these composers . Rosso de Chollegrana is known through one solitary composition preserved in Lo. Vincenzo da Ri mini's music is preserved in three sources: Lo, Pit, and Sq. ln the fi rst he is listed as Prate Vinrenro, in Pit as L' Abate Virencio da lmola, and in Sq as A1agister Abbas V icentius de Arimino. Aside from the fact that he was a member of the Bene­ dictine order (he wears Benedictine dress in the Sq miniature), ·we know nothing of his life. Nor do the texts which he set to music give us clues such as those which may be gleaned from Jacopo da Bologna's madrigals.' While Jacopo was deeply concerned with contemporary events, Vincenzo's texts deal only with mythological characters, shepherdesses, and bucolic scenes . Even the place associated with his name is difficult to identify. Was it lmola or Rimini? Both cities are in the Emilia-Romagna province, Imola being situated about 20 miles southeast of Bologna. lt is unfortunate that only six pieces by this competent composer, whose skill shows professional discipline, have survived. The absence of a polyphonic ballata suggests that he may have been a con temporary of Jacopo da Bologna and slightly younger than Gherardell o and Lorenzo da Firenze.
