  • SEMIOLOGY and the INTERPRETATION of GREGORIAN CHANT (This Article Was Published in Divini Citltit* Splanion
    I he Ntivc, Looking ta>\. SEMIOLOGY AND THE INTERPRETATION OF GREGORIAN CHANT (This article was published in Divini Citltit* Splanion. a Fe^kilirift prepared in honor of Joseph Lennards of the Netherlands on the occasion of his eightieth birthday. Mr. Lennards has devoted his life to the study of Gregorian chant and its teaching through the Ward method. The translation from the French was made by Virginia A. Schubert.) It is fitting to honor a recognized Gregorianist like Joseph Lennards, enthusiastic disciple of Dom Andre Mocquereau, with a discussion of the ideal of the founder of the school of Solesmes. This ideal was proclaimed throughout a long scientific and artistic career which began when a young monk of Solesmes undertook a study of chant more by duty than by choice, and consequently came to realize its incomparable value. Thus, beginning with the general introduction to La Palcographic mu>kalc of 1889 and continuing to the Monographic Crc'gorknnc 17/, written in 1926 to refute Dom Jeannin's theory of dividing chant into measures, one finds different formulations of the same very clear affirmation: "It is in the great variety of notations of neums that one must seek the light on every aspect of Gregorian chant." (Patiogriiphic niu^iuilt, XI, p. 19) The path was thus laid out, SEMIOLOGY 21 but it was a long and difficult one to follow. Is this surprising? When a musical repertoire, which was first only memorized and then fixed on parchment by procedures that were more or less precise, was submitted over several centuries to a deadly and sometimes sytematic degradation, the result is that such a repertoire is so deformed that its true nature can no longer be imagined.

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.

    Anonymous I and Prologus in tonarium: Changing Interpretations of Music Theory in Eleventh-Century Germany T. J. H. MCCARTHY Abbot Bern of Reichenau (d. 1048) stands as a formative influence upon eleventh- and twelfth-century German music theorists. Prologus in tonarium, the longer of his two music treatises, takes the form of a prologue in twelve chapters to an extensive tonary.1 His pairing of the theoretical prologue with the tonary—a list of chants classified according to mode—emphasizes the fundamental connexion between music theory and singing, which was the salient feature of the ars musica in the monastic and cathedral schools of Germany during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Abbot Bern dedicated this treatise to Archbishop Pilgrim of Cologne, which implies a date of composition between 1021 and 1036.2 Prologus in tonarium exerted a considerable influence on subsequent generations of south-German music theorists, for it was widely copied during the eleventh and twelfth centuries: today Prologus survives in over thirty manuscripts while Tonarius survives in seventeen.3 The provenances and origins of the eleventh- and twelfth-century recensions show the treatise to have been widely disseminated in southern Germany. To this total must be added the evidence of library catalogues and known lost copies: the treatise was available in the monasteries of Muri, Reichenau, St Blasien, St Georgen, Tegernsee and Weissenau during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.4 1 The most recent edition of Bern’s musical works is Alexander Rausch (ed.), Die Musiktraktate des Abtes Bern von Reichenau. Edition und Interpretation, Musica mediaevalis Europae occidentalis, 5 (Tutzing: Schneider, 1999).

His developments of the hexachord system, solmization syllables, and music notation revolutionized the teaching and learning of music during his time and laid the foundation for our modern system of music. While previous theorists were interested in the philosophical and mathematical nature of music, Guido’s desire to aid singers in the learning process was practical.

  • The Spiritual Value of Singing the Liturgy for Hildegard of Bingen
    THAT THEY MIGHT SING THE SONG OF THE LAMB: THE SPIRITUAL VALUE OF SINGING THE LITURGY FOR HILDEGARD OF BINGEN. A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (c) Copyright by Miranda Lynn Clemens (Sister Maria Parousia) 2014 History M.A. Graduate Program September 2014 Abstract That They Might Sing the Song of the Lamb: The Spiritual Value of Singing the Liturgy for Hildegard of Bingen. Miranda Lynn Clemens (Sister Maria Parousia) This thesis examines Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179)'s theology of music, using as a starting place her letter to the Prelates of Mainz, which responds to an interdict prohibiting Hildegard's monastery from singing the liturgy. Using the twelfth-century context of female monasticism, liturgy, music theory and ideas about body and soul, the thesis argues that Hildegard considered the sung liturgy essential to monastic formation. Music provided instruction not only by informing the intellect but also by moving the affections to embrace a spiritual good. The experience of beauty as an educational tool reflected the doctrine of the Incarnation. Liturgical music helped nuns because it reminded them their final goal was heaven, helped them overcome sin and facilitated participation in the angelic choirs. Ultimately losing the ability to sing the liturgy was not a minor inconvenience, but the loss of a significant spiritual and educational tool fundamental to achieving union with God. Key words: Hildegard of Bingen, Letter to the Prelates of Mainz, monasticism, liturgy, music medieval music theory, medieval aesthetics, body and soul, education.
