  • The Case of the Beaulieu Abbey
    acoustics Article An Archaeoacoustics Analysis of Cistercian Architecture: The Case of the Beaulieu Abbey Sebastian Duran *, Martyn Chambers * and Ioannis Kanellopoulos * School of Media Arts and Technology, Solent University (Southampton), East Park Terrace, Southampton SO14 0YN, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (S.D.); [email protected] (M.C.); [email protected] (I.K.) Abstract: The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that Cistercian architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in order to reinforce Gregorian chants. The presented study focused on an archaeoacacoustics analysis of the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey (Hampshire, England, UK), using Geometrical Acoustics (GA) to recreate and investigate the acoustical properties of the original structure. To construct an acoustic model of the Abbey, the building’s dimensions and layout were retrieved from published archaeology research and comparison with equivalent structures. Absorption and scattering coefficients were assigned to emulate the original room surface materials’ acoustics properties. CATT-Acoustics was then used to perform the acoustics analysis of the simplified building structure. Shorter reverbera- tion time (RTs) was generally observed at higher frequencies for all the simulated scenarios. Low speech intelligibility index (STI) and speech clarity (C50) values were observed across Abbey’s nave section. Despite limitations given by the impossibility to calibrate the model according to in situ measurements conducted in the original structure, the simulated acoustics performance suggested Citation: Duran, S.; Chambers, M.; how the Abbey could have been designed to promote sacral music and chants, rather than preserve Kanellopoulos, I.

  • Functionalism and Caprice in Stonecutting. the Case of the Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral
    Proceedings of the Third International Congress on Construction History, Cottbus, May 2009 Functionalism and Caprice in Stonecutting. The Case of the Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral Miguel Ángel Alonso Rodríguez, Ana López Mozo, José Carlos Palacios Gonzalo, Enrique Rabasa Díaz Technical University of Madrid, Spain José Calvo-López Polytechnic University of Cartagena, Spain Alberto Sanjurjo Álvarez San Pablo-CEU University, Madrid, Spain ABSTRACT: Starting from the inaugural text of Philibert de L'Orme, stereotomic treatises and manuscripts are subject to the opposing forces of reason and fancy. The Nativity Chapel in Burgos Cathedral provides an outstanding case study on this subject. It was built in 1571-1582 by Martín de Bérriz and Martín de la Haya, using an oval vault resting on trumpet squinches to span a rectangular bay. Bed joints and rib axes are not planar curves, as usual in oval vaults. This warping is not capricious; we shall argue that it is the outcome of a systematic tracing method. As a result of this process, the slope of the bed joints increases slightly in the first courses, but stays fairly constant after the third course; this solution prevents the upper courses from slipping. Thus, in the Nativity Chapel of Burgos Cathedral, the constraints of masonry construction fostered a singular solution verging on capriccio. It is also worthwhile to remark that the warping of the joints is not easily appreciable to the eye and that the tracing process does not seem to start from a previous conception of the resulting form. All this suggests that we should be quite careful when talking about the whimsical character of Late Gothic and Early Renaissance; in some occasions, apparent caprice is the offspring of practical thinking.

Seven cathedrals in the southern half of Spain have been included in the survey, thereby covering a wide range of reverberation-time values from 4.32 s in Murcia cathedral to 8.96 s in Cadiz cathedral at mid-frequencies. These cathedrals present a common architectural typology, known as the "Spanish style", which allows similar source-receiver points to be selected when comparisons are made between two different cathedrals. The tests were carried out in the listening room of the Acoustics Laboratory of the Applied Physics II Department of the School of Architecture of the University of Seville. Several types of anechoic sound signals (choral pieces, extracts of Baroque instrumental music, and a speech) were auralised with the impulse responses measured in the cathedrals to be used in the tests.

Embora tivessem sido adquiridos vários conjuntos de flautas de bisel por instituições eclesiásticas ao longo desse período, coincidindo temporalmente com a representação na iconografia religiosa, grande parte das obras vocais sacras do século XVI não nos elucida sobre a utilização específica destes instrumentos. Dada a escassez de documentação com informação acerca do uso das flautas de bisel, várias questões persistem até à actualidade entre os músicos que procuram definir as suas escolhas informadas para a prática interpretativa. Este artigo apresenta alguns resultados da pesquisa sobre o papel assumido pelas flautas na prática musical sacra em catedrais e igrejas em Espanha, durante os séculos XVI e XVII. Através da síntese e análise dos dados arquivísticos relativamente à compra, reparação e posse de flautas de bisel, às características de alguns desses instrumentos, a contratação e actividade dos músicos que os tocavam, e detalhes da prática interpretativa que remetem especificamente para estes instrumentos. Este artigo aborda também o tópico do repertório disponível nas catedrais e igrejas espanholas que possuem registo da sua actividade e, especificamente, da música que integra as colecções para instrumentos de sopro.

  • A Search for the Hidden King: Messianism, Prophecies and Royal Epiphanies of the Kings of Aragon (Circa 1250–1520)
    Article A Search for the Hidden King: Messianism, Prophecies and Royal Epiphanies of the Kings of Aragon (circa 1250–1520) Amadeo Serra Desfilis Art History Department, University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain; [email protected] Received: 28 August 2019; Accepted: 21 October 2019; Published: 25 October 2019 Abstract: Modern historiography has studied the influence of messianic and millennialist ideas in the Crown of Aragon extensively and, more particularly, how they were linked to the Aragonese monarchy. To date, research in the field of art history has mainly considered royal iconography from a different point of view: through coronation, historical or dynastic images. This article will explore the connections, if any, between millennialist prophetic visions and royal iconography in the Crown of Aragon using both texts and the figurative arts, bearing in mind that sermons, books and images shared a common space in late medieval audiovisual culture, where royal epiphanies took place. The point of departure will be the hypothesis that some royal images and apparently conventional religious images are compatible with readings based on sources of prophetic and apocalyptic thought, which help us to understand the intentions and values behind unique figurative and performative epiphanies of the dynasty that ruled the Crown of Aragon between 1250 and 1516. With this purpose in mind, images will be analysed in their specific context, which is often possible to reconstruct thanks to the abundance and diversity of the written sources available on the subject, with a view to identifying their promoters’ intentions, the function they fulfilled and the reception of these images in the visual culture of this time and place.
