Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

! How to Read Choral Music ! Compiled by Tim Korthuis Sheet music is a road map to help you create beautiful music. Please note that is only there as a guide. Follow the director for cues on dynamics (volume) and phrasing (cues and cuts). !DO NOT RELY ENTIRELY ON YOUR MUSIC!!! Only glance at it for words and notes. This ‘manual’ is a very condensed version, and is here as a reference. It does not include everything to do with reading music, only the basics to help you on your way. There may be !many markings that you wonder about. If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask. 1. Where is YOUR part? • You need to determine whether you are Soprano or Alto (high or low ladies), or Tenor (hi men/low ladies) or Bass (low men) • Soprano is the highest note, followed by Alto, Tenor, (Baritone) & Bass Soprano NOTE: ! Alto If there is another staff ! Tenor ! ! Bass above the choir bracket, it is Bracket usually for a solo or ! ! ‘descant’ (high soprano). ! Brace !Piano ! ! ! • ! The Treble Clef usually indicates Soprano and Alto parts o If there are three notes in the Treble Clef, ask the director which section will be ‘split’ (eg. 1st and 2nd Soprano). o Music written solely for women will usually have two Treble Clefs. • ! The Bass Clef indicates Tenor, Baritone and Bass parts o If there are three parts in the Bass Clef, the usual configuration is: Top - Tenor, Middle - Baritone, Bottom – Bass, though this too may be ‘split’ (eg. 1st and 2nd Tenor) o Music written solely for men will often have two Bass Clefs, though Treble Clef is used for men as well (written 1 octave higher).

Plainchant Tradition*
Some Observations on the "Germanic" Plainchant Tradition* By Alexander Blachly Anyone examining the various notational systems according to which medieval scribes committed the plainchant repertory to written form must be impressed both by the obvious relatedness of the systems and by their differences. There are three main categories: the neumatic notations from the ninth, tenth, and eleventh centuries (written without a staff and incapable, therefore, of indicating precise pitches);1 the quadratic nota tion in use in Italy, Spain, France, and England-the "Romanic" lands from the twelfth century on (this is the "traditional" plainchant notation, written usually on a four-line staff and found also in most twentieth century printed books, e.g., Liber usualis, Antiphonale monasticum, Graduale Romanum); and the several types of Germanic notation that use a staff but retain many of the features of their neumatic ancestors. The second and third categories descended from the first. The staffless neumatic notations that transmit the Gregorian repertory in ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-century sources, though unlike one another in some important respects, have long been recognized as transmitting the same corpus of melodies. Indeed, the high degree of concordance between manuscripts that are widely separated by time and place is one of the most remarkable aspects the plainchant tradition. As the oldest method of notating chant we know,2 neumatic notation compels detailed study; and the degree to which the neumatic manuscripts agree not only • I would like to thank Kenneth Levy, Alejandro Plan chart, and Norman Smith for reading this article prior to publication and for making useful suggestions for its improve ment.

Arnold Schering on “Who Sang the Soprano and Alto Parts in Bach's
Arnold Schering on “Who sang the soprano and alto parts in Bach’s cantatas?” Translation by Thomas Braatz © 2009 [The following is a translation of pages 43 to 48 from Arnold Schering’s book, Johann Sebastian Bachs Leipziger Kirchenmusik, published in 1936 in Leipzig and presented in facsimile after the translation. To distinguish between Schering’s original footnotes and mine, his are highlighted in red while mine are left in black.] The paragraph leading into this passage describes Georg PhilippTelemann’s (1681- 1767) sacred music activities in the Neukirche (New Church) in Leipzig. These cantata performances were accomplished by Telemann with the help of university students only and without any assistance from the Thomaner1 choir(s) which were under Johann Kuhnau’s (1660-1722 - Bach’s immediate predecessor) direction. Jealous of the success that Telemann was having with his performances, Kuhnau commented that the young people there [Neukirche] had no real idea about what the proper style of singing in a church was all about and that their goal was “directed toward a so- called cantata-like manner of singing”. By this he evidently meant the elegant, modern way that male falsettists2 sang their solos [compared to the soprano and alto voices of young boys before their mutation]. What was Bach’s way of treating this matter in his sacred music? A cantor’s constant concern, as we have seen, is the ability to obtain and train good sopranos and basses. Kuhnau’s experience, that among his young scholars strong bass singers were a rarity,3 was an experience that his cantor predecessors in Leipzig had already had.

Musical Staff: the Skeleton Upon Which Musical Notation Is Hung
DulcimerCrossing.com General Music Theory Lesson 7 Steve Eulberg Musical Staff [email protected] Musical Staff: The skeleton upon which musical notation is hung. The Musical Staff is comprised of a clef (5 lines and 4 spaces) on which notes or rests are placed. At one time the staff was made up of 11 lines and 10 spaces. It proved very difficult to read many notes quickly and modern brain research has demonstrated that human perception actually does much better at quick recall when it can “chunk” information into groups smaller than 7. Many years ago, the people developing musical notation created a helpful modification by removing the line that designated where “Middle C” goes on the staff and ending up with two clefs that straddle middle C. The treble clef includes C and all the notes above it. The Bass clef includes C and all the notes below it. (See Transitional Musical Staff): DulcimerCrossing.com General Music Theory Lesson 7 Steve Eulberg Musical Staff [email protected] Now the current musical staff has separated the top staff and the bottom staff further apart, but they represent the same pattern of notes as above, now with room for lyrics between the staves. (Staves is the plural form of Staff) DulcimerCrossing.com General Music Theory Lesson 7 Steve Eulberg Musical Staff [email protected] The Staves are distinct from each other by their “Clef Sign.” (See above) This example shows the two most commonly used Clef Signs. Compare the Space and Line names in the Historical example and this one. The information is now “chunked” into less than 7 bits of information (which turns out to be the natural limit in the human brain!) on each staff.

Overview of Erisk at CLEF 2019 Early Risk Prediction on the Internet (Extended Overview)
Overview of eRisk at CLEF 2019 Early Risk Prediction on the Internet (extended overview) David E. Losada1, Fabio Crestani2, and Javier Parapar3 1 Centro Singular de Investigación en Tecnoloxías da Información (CiTIUS), Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Spain [email protected] 2 Faculty of Informatics, Universitá della Svizzera italiana (USI), Switzerland [email protected] 3 Information Retrieval Lab, Centro de Investigación en Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones, Universidade da Coruña, Spain [email protected] Abstract. This paper provides an overview of eRisk 2019, the third edition of this lab under the CLEF conference. The main purpose of eRisk is to explore is- sues of evaluation methodology, effectiveness metrics and other processes related to early risk detection. Early detection technologies can be employed in different areas, particularly those related to health and safety. This edition of eRisk had three tasks. Two of them shared the same format and focused on early detecting signs of depression (T1) or self-harm (T2). The third task (T3) focused on an innovative challenge related to automatically ﬁlling a depression questionnaire based on user interactions in social media. 1 Introduction The main purpose of eRisk is to explore issues of evaluation methodologies, perfor- mance metrics and other aspects related to building test collections and deﬁning chal- lenges for early risk detection. Early detection technologies are potentially useful in different areas, particularly those related to safety and health. For example, early alerts could be sent when a person starts showing signs of a mental disorder, when a sexual predator starts interacting with a child, or when a potential offender starts publishing antisocial threats on the Internet.
