    Revisiting the Origins of the Italian Madrigal (with machine learning) Julie E. Cumming Cory McKay Medieval and Renaissance Music Conference Maynooth, Ireland, July 6, 2018 1 The origins of the madrigal Current consensus • The madrigal emerges as a new genre of Italian-texted vocal music in the 1520s • The Italian-texted works by Verdelot are madrigals • It originated in Florence (and Rome?) in the 1520s But where did it come from? • The frottola (Einstein 1949) • The chanson and motet (Fenlon and Haar 1988) • Florentine song: carnival song, and improvised solo song (A. Cummings 2004) 2 Finding the origins: what happened before Verdelot? • Verdelot arrived in Florence in 1521 • Earliest sources of the madrigal New focus: Florence, 1515-1522 Music Printsbefore Verdelot Thanks to I. Fenlon, J. Haar, and A. Cummings Naming of Genres: Canzona in 1520s; Madrigale 1530 Prints (in or near Rome) • Pisano, Musica sopra le Canzone del petrarcha (partbooks, Petrucci, Fossombrone, 1520) (all Madrigals) • Motetti e Canzone I (partbooks, Rome, 1520) • Libro primo de la croce, choirbook, c. 1522 (surviving copy, later ed., Rome, Pasoti & Dorico, 1526) • Mix of frottole, villotte, and madrigals 4 Music MSS before Verdelot Thanks to I. Fenlon, J. Haar, and A. Cummings Florentine Manuscripts (all from Florence) • Florence, Basevi 2440, choirbook, c. 1515-22; 2 sections: • music with multiple stanzas of text (frottole) • through-composed works (madrigals & villotte) • Florence, BNC 164-167, partbooks, c. 1520-22 (4 sections) • Florence 164 or F 164 henceforth 5 My hypothesis The madrigal was deliberately created as a • high-style genre of secular music • that emulates the style of the motet Why? • Musical sources • Texts • Musical style • Cultural context (not today) 6 What do sources tell us? Madrigals are the first secular genre to be treated like Latin-texted motets in prints and manuscripts Copied and printed in partbooks (previously used only for Masses and motets) • Motetti e Canzone I (Rome, 1520), partbooks • Florence 164 (c.

It is a starting point for exploration into Tudor music. In it children will begin to learn about Tudor Dance music, in particular the Pavan as a popular Tudor dance. Children will identify its characteristic musical features and rhythms before attempting to dance the Pavan and performing their own Pavan melody over a drone accompaniment.

Where they will compose their own lyrics to a madrigal melody. Fanfares are explored briefly before children work towards putting on a Tudor style banquet/concert combining elements of all the musical learning in to a class performance.

Counterpoint: Combining two or more independent melodies to make an intricate polyphonic texture. Fauxbourdon: A musical texture prevalent in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance, produced by three voices in mostly parallel motion first-inversion triads.

  • Mirrors and Music in the Decameron
    Heliotropia 7.1-2 (2010) http://www.heliotropia.org Mirrors and Music in the Decameron t the end of the First Day of Boccaccio’s Decameron, Queen Pam- pinea urges the brigata to make music. Emilia promptly sings “In mine own beauty take I such delight That to no other love could I A 1 my fond affections plight,” a ditty about finding pleasure in one’s own ref- lection. She continues, “why seek out past delights, or new ones try When all content within my glass I find?”2 Scholars have interpreted Emilia’s mirror in myriad ways: as a symbol of truth, of God’s presence, or of Grammar, one of the Liberal Arts.3 In this essay, I will examine the mirror in relation to music, first investigating its significance in the Decameron, followed by a study of parallel examples in the Divine Comedy, visual im- ages of the period, including those by Lorenzetti, Cimabue and Giotto, and Trecento compositions by Lorenzo Masini. In so doing, I will establish that the mirror thoroughly enriched the primary texts in which it was imbed- ded, serving as a symbol of balance, judgment and transcendence. The Decameron’s most prominent mirror appears in Story 8 of the Sixth Day. Emilia, the singer of the mirror song in the First Day, also tells the story of a vainglorious woman: Cesca, the niece of Fresco da Celatico, spends much of her time criticizing others and trumpeting her own vir- tues. At the end of the story, her exasperated uncle implores: “If you can’t bear the sight of horrid people, my girl, I advise you for your own peace of mind, never to look at yourself in the glass” (466).4 This is followed by the 1 Decameron, translated by G.

    Andrew hudgins elegy for my father who is not dead analysis You can only choose quantity that is equal to $qty_dummy$. 6 Pages will be comparing the poem writing by Dylan Thomas, "Do not go gentle into that good night" and Andrew Hudgins "Elegy for My Father, Who Is Not Dead". These two poems can be found in our lecture book Thinking and Writing about Literature (T.W.L). Both poems focus on their fathers, as their lives come closer to their death. Even though both poems are centered around the death of their fathers, the poets have two different meanings of death. Do not go gentle into that good night (pg268-269). Peace Of Mind And Love In The Last Lecture: Book Review. Hudgins, Andrew, "A Sense of Service: As the Son of a Soldier. " in Washington Post, Sunday, January 2, 2000, sec. W, p. 12. This prose memoir delivers a frank personal account both of Hudgins's relationship to his stern father and of growing up as a "military brat." Just as he does in his poems, Hudgins incorporates snatches of dialogue, details of daily life, and keen observations of character in his prose to bring the past, in all its humor and pain, candidly into the present. Although the poem "Elegy for My Father" can certainly stand on its own, this memoir supplies much biographical depth to the story of disparity so keenly rendered in the poem.
