While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image o f the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note w ill appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin film ing at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.

  • Instructions for Authors
    Journal of Science and Arts Supplement at No.1- 2, pp. 33-44, 2011 GREAT SCHOOLS OF CHORAL COMPOSITION AND INTERPRETATION IN RENAISSANCE EMIL FLORIN NICOLAE BADEA1 _________________________________________________ Manuscript received: 21.03.2011. Accepted paper: 27.04.2011. Published online: 10.06.2011. Abstract. This article is an analysis of the Renaissance music (mostly of choral music) highlighting the important contributions made by the representative figures of the Franco- Flemish and Italian (Roman and Venetian) schools, which imposed genres such as the madrigal, the chanson, the ballads, the rondeaux, and motets, virelais and magnificates. Keywords: Renaissance polyphony, chason, motet, missa, requiem, madrigal, song, psalm, hymn, Cantus firmus. 1. THE FRANCO-FLEMISH SCHOOL Although musicology has established a specifi c period of music history to be nam ed new art (Ars nova, XIII-XIV cen turies), I consider it would be more appropriate that Renaissance art should acquire this title - new art (or birth as stated above) since, through the synthesis realized by the m ain schools of composition and m usical performance, the Renaissance created a com pletely original m usic, inspired by the fundamentals of hum an being, fully aware of its own concerns and feelings. At the beginning of the Renaissance, the m ain centers of dissem ination of the new creative methods were to be found in Flande rs and Burgundy - Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg today. Along with a series of wa rs, in the anxious Europe, an unprecedented flowering of artistic activities took place. It was mainly in cities which, by their nature, were primarily economical centers (Amsterdam, Bruges, Brussels, Antwerp, Liege, Rotterdam) that developed an art - especially the painting belonging to masters who succeeded to let free their imagination, controlled by the m ost luxurious representations, unfolding in countless plans and which would echo in the polyphonic musical creation as well.

W. NORTON AND COMPANY Ƌ ƋĐƋ W. W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in 1923, when William Warder Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton first published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics from America and abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of Norton’s publishing program—trade books and college texts— were firmly established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the company to its employees, and today—with a staff of four hundred and a comparable number of trade, college, and professional titles published each year—W.

  • Stringing and Tuning the Renaissance Four-Course Guitar: Interpreting the Primary Sources
    Stringing and Tuning the Renaissance Four-Course Guitar: Interpreting the Primary Sources by Michael Fink Over the past 85 years, the Renaissance four-course guitar has been researched and written about sporadically, and a few musical editions and facsimiles of the repertoire have been published. In the research, one of the chief issues has been the stringing and tuning of the instrument. The quality of investigations has varied from carefully detailed to somewhat superficial. At the time of this writing (2007), the chief contributions to the issue of tuning the four- course guitar have been made by the estimable James Tyler1 and Tyler in collaboration with others2. With the exception of the 1974 article, which deals with a particular source on tuning, these writings have been general expositions on the Renaissance guitar with limited discussions about stringing/tuning. Their sources are almost exclusively Renaissance theorists and the few composers and redactors who included some instruction on stringing/tuning. These, in fact, are all we have, although in some cases, tablatures may suggest tuning preferences. The thrust of the present study is to review critically all the appropriate primary sources, including selected tablatures; to propose possible interpretations of them; and — crossing national lines — to tabulate the principal data. STRINGING: ICONOGRAPHY FROM FRANCE, THE NETHERLANDS, AND ALSACE Interestingly, France — not Spain — furnishes us with the earliest indication of the guitar’s stringing. Jean Gerson, in a sermon written around the year 1400, likens the Four Cardinal Virtues in Christianity to the “guiterne de quatre cordes,” suggesting that it was a four- course instrument at least that early.3 At that time the guitar was only “tortoise” shaped, like a lute.

  • Bronzino's Lute Player: Music and Youth Culture in Renaissance Florence
    bronzino’s lute player musical dexterity. An inkwell with a statuette depicting the biblical story Bronzino’s Lute Player: of Susanna in a similar moment of being startled by the three elders spying Music and Youth Culture on her sits on a table to the right of the lutenist, along with the tip of a quill that is barely noticeable next to the inkwell. The quill, combined in Renaissance Florence with the lute, represents music coupled with poetry, with the statuette being a symbol of youth confronting age. Victor Coelho Rejecting the iconic, human shape of the lute’s body for the mechanism of the tuning pegs, Agnolo Bronzino (1503–1572) opens a window onto i youth. These are the pegs that bring the lute into tune, from dissonance to harmony. Images of tuning an instrument were often used to represent n Agnolo Bronzino’s portrait of a Young Man with a Lute in the the Platonic idea of being “in harmony” with the universe, but the most Uffizi painted in Florence around 1532–34, an unidentified youth common idea represented by tuning, or by the presence of a broken dressed austerely in black sits in a small, dark room with a statuette string, was vanitas.3 Just as a string can unexpectedly break, turning sound visible to his side and, more discreetly, the pegbox of a lute’s neck quickly into silence, the image of tuning can be seen as a comment on the Ileaning against his right thigh (Fig. 1).1 Even though the instrument is evanescence of youth.4 almost entirely concealed, it is still a prominent part of the composition.
