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.

Medieval Fyddle & Bow English (Canterbury), Passionale of Augustine c.1100 (detail of initial T from British Museum, London, MS Arundel 91, fol.218v). Note the four strings clearly detailed by the artist. Other parts are sketchy, such as bridge, tail piece and finger board. There appears to be a hint of a finger board but these details are again, sketchy. The nut is suggested in sketchy form like the fingerboard. Elevation of the bridge and other setup details are not determinable. The form of the body and the sound holes are clear in this picture. The same picture, full view. It is important to get the best picture one can find of the original or wrong conclusions can be make – this picture looks to have only three strings, yet the more detailed reproduction of the same manuscript – from another source – clearly shows more detail including four strings and a hint of a finger board. Page 1 Southern English, "Tiberius" Psalter, c.1050 ("Musician from King David's suite" in British Museum, London, Cotton MS.Tib.C.VI, fol. 30v).

  • Romanian Traditional Musical Instruments
    GRU-10-P-LP-57-DJ-TR ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Romania is a European country whose population consists mainly (approx. 90%) of ethnic Romanians, as well as a variety of minorities such as German, Hungarian and Roma (Gypsy) populations. This has resulted in a multicultural environment which includes active ethnic music scenes. Romania also has thriving scenes in the fields of pop music, hip hop, heavy metal and rock and roll. During the first decade of the 21st century some Europop groups, such as Morandi, Akcent, and Yarabi, achieved success abroad. Traditional Romanian folk music remains popular, and some folk musicians have come to national (and even international) fame. ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC Folk music is the oldest form of Romanian musical creation, characterized by great vitality; it is the defining source of the cultured musical creation, both religious and lay. Conservation of Romanian folk music has been aided by a large and enduring audience, and by numerous performers who helped propagate and further develop the folk sound. (One of them, Gheorghe Zamfir, is famous throughout the world today, and helped popularize a traditional Romanian folk instrument, the panpipes.) The earliest music was played on various pipes with rhythmical accompaniment later added by a cobza. This style can be still found in Moldavian Carpathian regions of Vrancea and Bucovina and with the Hungarian Csango minority. The Greek historians have recorded that the Dacians played guitars, and priests perform songs with added guitars. The bagpipe was popular from medieval times, as it was in most European countries, but became rare in recent times before a 20th century revival.

  • 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.

  • Music 10A: Survey of Music Literature John Dornenburg Guidelines For
    Music 10A: Survey of Music Literature John Dornenburg Guidelines for Listening Assignments: Extra sheets are in the Listening Lab All blanks must be completed with the following information: Composition No. refers to the number of the example in the Fuller anthology. Title refers to the full name of a given piece of music. Some pieces are simply named by the first words of the text, while others may be distinguished by their opus numbers and/or keys. The Fuller anthology gives titles in boldface type. Composer/Dates: names are underlined in Fuller. If the composer is not known (and you have checked in the notes which follow the example to be sure) the piece should be attributed to Anonymous (or abbreviated to Anon.). Give composer or composition dates. Period: write in the general historic time period in which the example was composed: e.g. Early Medieval, Notre Dame School, 13th Century, Ars Nova, Trecento, Ars Subtilior, Early Renaissance, Early Baroque, etc. Genre refers to the specific musical category illustrated by the example. This is usually indicated in Fuller beneath the piece's title (e.g. organum duplum, votive antiphon, Troubadour song, ballade, chanson, cyclic Mass, motet, chanson, ricercare, cantata, etc.). Sacred means that the music has a religious text. Secular means that the music is not religious. Theme or important features: On the music staff provided you must write in the main theme or important structural feature which identifies the example under study. For example, this should show the tenor and duplum voices in organum, the double leading tone cadence of the Ars Nova, the cantus firmus and head motif in a cyclic mass, or a bit of figured bass in monody.

In the British Library with Instruments Page 1 of 2 Some Manuscripts in the British Library with Illustrations of Musical Instruments and a few other sources that I have found FoMRHIQ 2, January 1976,Comm. 8 Arundel 83. Conflation of two English Psalters, East Anglia, c.1310. The second half is known as the de Lisle Psalter. Good source. Includes: long trumpets, harps, citole, bagpipe, bells, fiddle, portative, psaltery, duct flute, pipe & tabor. Cotton, Tib.C.vi. Psalter, mid 11th c. f.30 is well-known; the rest is the usual Boethius improbabilities of the period. Egerton 1139. Queen Melissander’s Psalter, Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, c.1140. The only instrument is a good harp, available asa postcard. The ivory cover is well known: King David playing what might be a dulcimer. Harley 2804. German Bible, 1148. f.3 has a not very good David and musicians. Harley 4425. La Roman de la Rose, pre-1500. 2 folios with music parties. Royal 2.A.xvi. Psalter time of Henry VIII, with annotations by him. Harp, pipe& tabor, short trumpet, dulcimer. Interesting that Henry is one of the musicians (and his fool shuts his ears to avoid his playing). Royal 2.A.xxii. The Westminster Psalter, late 12th c. David with harp and bells (postcard available), another harp. Interesting in that Westminster Abbey has a very similar hemi- spherical bell in the Undercroft exhibition room. Royal 2.B.vii. The Queen Mary Psalter, English early 14th c. well known source with a lot of material, but none quite as good and clear as in other East Anglian psalters (e.g.
