  • Sacred Music and Female Exemplarity in Late Medieval Britain
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Iconography of Queenship: Sacred Music and Female Exemplarity in Late Medieval Britain A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Gillian Lucinda Gower 2016 © Copyright by Gillian Lucinda Gower 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Iconography of Queenship: Sacred Music and Female Exemplarity in Late Medieval Britain by Gillian Lucinda Gower Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Elizabeth Randell Upton, Chair This dissertation investigates the relational, representative, and most importantly, constitutive functions of sacred music composed on behalf of and at the behest of British queen- consorts during the later Middle Ages. I argue that the sequences, conductus, and motets discussed herein were composed with the express purpose of constituting and reifying normative gender roles for medieval queen-consorts. Although not every paraliturgical work in the English ii repertory may be classified as such, I argue that those works that feature female exemplars— model women who exemplified the traits, behaviors, and beliefs desired by the medieval Christian hegemony—should be reassessed in light of their historical and cultural moments. These liminal works, neither liturgical nor secular in tone, operate similarly to visual icons in order to create vivid images of exemplary women saints or Biblical figures to which queen- consorts were both implicitly as well as explicitly compared. The Iconography of Queenship is organized into four chapters, each of which examines an occasional musical work and seeks to situate it within its own unique historical moment. In addition, each chapter poses a specific historiographical problem and seeks to answer it through an analysis of the occasional work.

  • Renaissance Terms
    Renaissance Terms Cantus firmus: ("Fixed song") The process of using a pre-existing tune as the structural basis for a new polyphonic composition. Choralis Constantinus: A collection of over 350 polyphonic motets (using Gregorian chant as the cantus firmus) written by the German composer Heinrich Isaac and his pupil Ludwig Senfl. Contenance angloise: ("The English sound") A term for the style or quality of music that writers on the continent associated with the works of John Dunstable (mostly triadic harmony, which sounded quite different than late Medieval music). 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. Only two of the three voices were notated (the chant/cantus firmus, and a voice a sixth below); the third voice was "realized" by a singer a 4th below the chant. Glogauer Liederbuch: This German part-book from the 1470s is a collection of 3-part instrumental arrangements of popular French songs (chanson). Homophonic: A polyphonic musical texture in which all the voices move together in note-for-note chordal fashion, and when there is a text it is rendered at the same time in all voices. Imitation: A polyphonic musical texture in which a melodic idea is freely or strictly echoed by successive voices. A section of freer echoing in this manner if often referred to as a "point of imitation"; Strict imitation is called "canon." Musica Reservata: This term applies to High/Late Renaissance composers who "suited the music to the meaning of the words, expressing the power of each affection." Musica Transalpina: ("Music across the Alps") A printed anthology of Italian popular music translated into English and published in England in 1588.

This is, in part, due to the fragmentary remains of the insular repertory and the lack of theoretical literature relevant to insular composition, which clearly contrasted with French practices, at times.

  • New Light on the Mid‐Fourteenth‐Century Chace
    JASON STOESSEL AND DENIS COLLINS NEW LIGHT ON THE MID-FOURTEENTH-CENTURY CHACE: CANONS HIDDEN IN THE TOURNAI MANUSCRIPT The manuscript Tournai, Bibliothèque de la Cathédrale, ms. A 27 (olim 476), is well-known for its early polyphonic setting of the Ordinary of the Mass (fols 28r–33v). Views on the musical cohesion of these settings vary. Charles van den Borren (1957, p. ii) adduced from patterns of transmission and stylistic features that the Mass was the work of several composers over several decades.1 Irene Guletsky has argued for a single composer and a dating of 1317–25. Guletsky‟s conclusions require further scrutiny elsewhere, but David Catalunya‟s re-dating of the Las Huelgas manuscript, which transmits the Credo of the Tournai Mass, to the 1340s has some bearing on this discussion.2 Nicola Tangari‟s recent discovery of yet another transmission of the Credo in a source still in use at Avignon and then Rome in the 1360s challenges both an early dating and a one-composer hypothesis.3 Certainly, the motet Se grasse/Cum venerint/ITE MISSA EST, which completes the Tournai Mass, still attracted the attention of the music theorist Johannes Boen in the 1360s.4 Musicologists have long known that two additional settings of the Ordinary of the Mass, a Sanctus and Kyrie (in that order), appear in ars nova mensural notation in the Tournai manuscript. Yet their true nature has only been recently recognised, despite already being transcribed, albeit erroneously, in well-known twentieth-century monumental editions (see Table 1). In June 2014 Michael Scott Cuthbert announced on social media that he had used computational analysis to show that the once seemingly monophonic Kyrie and Sanctus could be rendered as polyphony.5 In response, Ján Janovčik and Jason Stoessel proposed that each could be performed as a three-voice canon.6 (See Appendices 1 and 2 for Stoessel‟s transcriptions of the Kyrie and Sanctus.)7 The discovery of the Tournai canons changes the history of canonic composition and to some extent established views on the so-called Tournai Mass.

  • Subtiliter Alternare: the Yoxford Motet O Amicus / Precursaris*
    Subtiliter alternare: The Yoxford Motet o amicus / Precursaris* By Margaret Bent with David Howlett In die omnium animarum fidelium defunctarum, mdcccclxxxviij Two studies by Ernest Sanders will be among the first consulted by anyone curious about the late medieval motet: his articles "Motet" in the New Grove Dictionary and ''The Medieval Motet" in a volume devoted to genre studies.! In addition, it is to Sanders and his coeditors Frank Ll. Harrison and Peter M. Lefferts that we now owe the availability of the English fourteenth-century repertory in a modern edition that sets the stage for the motet here discussed.2 Ursula Gunther in her edition and study of the Chantilly and Modena motets3 and Harrison in his editions of motets of French and English provenance4 have both defined the four­ teenth-century motet largely by French standards.
