Cantat Dicat Respondeat Directions and Performers Chapter IV Cantat dicat respondeat Directions and Performers Dicere and Cantare : The Directions of the Play ntheSt Gall Passion Play, as in other religious plays, the chant directions use a variety of performance verbs: cantare , dicere , clamare , respondere , and others. A detailed understanding of this terminology is obviously crucial to a full appreciation of the play; yet Pflanz does not concern himself with the meanings of performance verbs, beyond assuming at times that dicere could indicate spoken rather than sung delivery.1 In recent decades, though, increasing schol- arly attention has been paid to directions. The most detailed study of the German plays is that of Ulrich Mehler, whose main conclusions are as follows. In medieval liturgical books, the verbs dicere and cantare ,their cognates ( canere , dicere cantando , etc.) and their vernacular equi- valents ( sagen , sprechen , singen , etc.) do not represent the mod- ern say (meaning perform in a normal speaking voice ; Sprechvor- trag )and sing ( perform in a singing voice ; Gesangsvortrag ), as often assumed.2 In the first place, hardly any of the earlier medieval 1 Hermann Manfred Pflanz, Die lateinischen Textgrundlagen des St. Galler Pas- sionsspieles in der mittelalterlichen Liturgie, Frankfurt [etc.], 1977, passim,e.g.p. 97, assuming 83, Consumatum est , is spoken. 2 E.g. Walther Lipphardt, Liturgische Dramen des Mittelalters , in Friedrich Blume (ed.), Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, 16 vols., Kassel, 1949-79, vol. VIII, cols 1012-44, esp. 1028 and other scholars, cited by Ulrich Mehler, Dicere und cantare : Zur musikalischen Terminologie und Aufführungspraxis des mittel- alterlichen geistlichen Dramas in Deutschland, Regensburg, 1981 (Kölner Bei- träge zur Musikforschung, 120), p. 2, note 1, and 10, note 12. The St Gall Passion Play liturgy was actually performed in an everyday speaking voice. The an- tiphons, responsories, hymns, introits, graduals, and so on were melo- dic, often elaborately so. The prayers, blessings, acclamations and scriptural readings were not said but almost invariably chanted to tones , recitative formulae of greater or lesser complexity.3 Later mu- sical terminology called this recitative material accentus , distin- guishing it from the melodious chant termed concentus .4 For scrip- tural texts there were various psalm tones, lection tones for readings at the office, tones for epistle and gospel at mass, and most importantly for drama, the special Passion tone for the declamation of the Pas- sion gospel during Holy Week. Dicere simply does not indicate spo- ken delivery. A study of medieval liturgical rubrics, where both dicere and cantare are applied to liturgical items, suggests that they denote not two different kinds, but rather two different aspects, of performance. Dicere is the more ideal term, referring to the overall performance of a liturgical item, whereas cantare is the more practical or tech- nical word, referring specifically to its musical articulation.5 The same terminology is found in the corpus of liturgical drama and in non-liturgical Latin plays.6 But as Mehler also shows, sensibilities and practices changed. In the early medieval period, accentus was not understood as melody or music as such: these terms were reserved for the melodically more complex concentus , the responsories, graduals and the like 3 Ibid., p. 39, citing also K.G.

  • 3-Step Plan Article #9 Conduct of the Service by ACP" (45 Pages)
    File Name: "3-Step Plan Article #9 Conduct of the Service by ACP" (45 pages) THE CONDUCT OF THE SERVICE According to the Rubrics of The Lutheran Hymnal, The Lutheran Liturgy, The Lutheran Lectionary, and The Music for the Liturgy1 By Arthur Carl Piepkorn (1907-1973☩) Concordia Seminary Print Shop, 1965. 44 pages. Edited by Philip James Secker. Revised 3/17/19. 40 pages. Editor's Note: Arthur Carl Piepkorn's classic monograph The Conduct of the Service is primarily about the rubrics of the Service, but contains a great deal of information about what is in Piepkorn's 1962 classic monograph The Architectural Requirements of the Lutheran Cultus (which is in 3-Step Plan Article #7 The Full 3-step Plan). "Cultus" is a Latin loan word that refers to adiaphora, that is, things that are neither commanded nor forbidden by God such as architecture, altars, banners, baptismal fonts, candles, holy communion vessels and rails, hymnals, musical instruments, offering plates, pews, unleavened holy communion wafers, vestments, etc. So both monographs should be used together. The following book is now available as a computer searchable CD that can be searched for additional information on what is in those two monographs: The Sacred Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions, edited and introduced by Philip J. Secker, Foreword by Robert Kolb, Volume 2 in The Selected Writings of Arthur Carl Piepkorn, CEC Press, 2007, 313 pages. This edition of The Conduct of the Service is Copyright©2018 Philip James Secker but may be reproduced as long as it is reproduced in its entirety.

  • The Spanish Nation in the Papal Chapel, 1492–1521
    364 Sherr Chapter 10 The Roman Connection: The Spanish Nation in the Papal Chapel, 1492–1521 Richard Sherr The Roman Connection I: The Establishment of the Spanish Nation in the Papal Chapel Whilst Ferdinand and Isabel always maintained a diplomatic connection with the papacy in Rome, a permanent musical connection was established only towards the end of their reigns when the ‘Spanish Nation’ (a cohort of singers from Spain) in the papal chapel was founded. More specifically, the ‘Spanish Nation’ was founded during the last years of the pontificate of the Spanish pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia, r. 1492–1503), was maintained and grew in the chapels of his successors Julius II (Giuliano della Rovere, r. 1503–13) and Leo X (Giovanni de’ Medici, r. 1513–21), and lasted until the end of the sixteenth century (Sherr 1992b). The establishment was gradual, which suggests that it was not the result of a decision on the part of the pope or the Catholic Monarchs, but rather that word might have gotten back to Spain that positions in the chapel were available and some singers decided to take advantage of the opportunity. It began with the entry of Juan de Hillanis, a cleric of Saragossa who also had ties to the diocese of Gerona (see below), into the chapel in July 1492, the last month of the pontificate of Innocent VIII (Giovanni Cibo, r. 1484– 92). Hillanis remained the only Spanish singer in the choir for four or five years. By 1496 or 1497, another Spaniard, Alonso de Troya from Toledo, had entered the choir, and in 1499, two more Spanish singers joined (perhaps not coinci­ dentally, one was a cleric of Saragossa, another a cleric of Gerona), bringing the complement to four.

In fact, the spirit of the opposing sentence from Roman law, “quod non est in actis, non est in mundo” (whatever is absent from the documents is also absent from the world), may in itself account for the slanted historiographical view of liturgical music in Sweden that the discipline of musicology has often presented.

  • Large Choirs
    LARGE CHOIRS. Here is my Top Ten large choirs which have given me much pleasure over the years and are frequent visitor to Gloria. 1. POLYPHONY. Stephen Layton’s choir has produced many excellent programmes on Hyperion with superb balance and intonation their hallmark. James MacMillan, John Tavener, John Rutter, Eric Whitacre and Morten Lauridsen have all benefited from Layton’s thoughtful reading and they’ve recorded a great Messiah. Many will remember their concert imaginatively bringing together the music of Arvo Part and Francis Poulenc in the RTE Living Music Festival in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin in 2008, in the presence of Arvo Part. MY CHOICE HYPERION – HANDEL MESSIAH – CDA67800 2. ESTONIAN PHILHARMONIC CHAMBER CHOIR. It’s not just in the music of Baltic composers that this choir shines – their Mozart on the brilliant German Carus label under Tonu Kaljuste is as good as any. Paul Hillier’s time with the EPCO with Harmonia Mundi was very fruitful but it was Kaljuste who conducted them on their Irish tour in 2007 – their cycle of Part’s Penitential Psalms “Pokajanen” in the Pro-Cathedral was breathtaking – the bass line especially. You will find their recording of Rachmaninov’s Vespers on my Desert Island List. MY CHOICE HARMONIA MUNDI – AN ORTHODOX CHRISTMAS HMX2927410. 3. RIAS KAMMERCHOR. This is a superb choir, based in Berlin and, mainly on the Harmonia Mundi label they have brought us many fine recordings of music from Baroque, Classical, Romantic and especially contemporary eras under the finest choral conductors – Rene Jacobs, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Uwe Gronostay, Marcus Creed,and their current director, Daniel Reuss.

  • FROM PEROTIN to MACHAUT the Great Polyphonies of Ars Antiqua & Ars Nova by the MUSICA NOVA ENSEMBLE
    FROM PEROTIN TO MACHAUT The great polyphonies of Ars Antiqua & Ars Nova by the MUSICA NOVA ENSEMBLE ensemble musiques anciennes Lyon Ensemble Musica Nova Artistic direction : Lucien Kandel Christel Boiron, Esther Labourdette, Caroline Magalhaes, cantus Lucien Kandel, Xavier Olagne, contratenors Jérémie Couleau, Thierry Péteau, ténors Musica Nova returns to the sources of medieval polyphony, with a program dedicated to one of the most incredible and mysterious pages of musical history, the École Notre-Dame, and the works of Léonin and Pérotin. Of an unbelievable beauty, the great organa of Pérotin still fascinate our contemporaries due to their harmonic richness resulting from the structuring and use of voices. Reproducing the ancient Latin metric, these musical modes alternate long and short notes, with a ternary division of the long, as a metaphor of divine perfection. This first system of Western notation was created within the walls of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris before spreading throughout Europe. Throughout the XIIIth century, this system of rhythmic notation evolved and adapted, culminating in the savant developments of the early XIVth century Ars Nova, percursory of our present system. Few people today are aware of the role of French composers in this considerable contribution to musical writing from the XIIth to the XIVth centuries. In a musical approach based on research, Musica Nova aims to make this French historical heritage better known throughout the world, and make accessible to all these emblematic pieces that have shaped Music History.

Lithoprinted by Edwards Brothers, Inc., Lithoprinters and Publishers Ann Arbor, Michigan. 1935 To R. W. R. R • B • Ha iii PREFACE The editing of the Latin poetry of the Middle Ages has proceeded very slowly; it has fallen somewhere be- tween the classicists and the modern philologists. So it has happened that the works of many of the abler mediaeval poets have not received much critical attention. The success of Mas- ter Henry of Avranches as a poet in his day and the abundance of the evidence about his life make him an instructive and in- teresting subject for study. This edition of the shorter poems relating to England is the continuation of the attention which one of us (Mr Russell) gave to the poet while a graduate stu- dent at Harvard studying with Professor Haskins.1 In 1927-28 we studied the poet's grammatical works and found them unex- pectedly interesting.2 In recent years a Bollandist, Father Grosjean, has transcribed the long saints' lives of the poet and will edit them in the Analecta Bollandlana; the Life of St Francis has appeared already.3 He has also written an inter- esting article upon the poet.4 The long diatribe by Michael of Cornwall against Master Henry has been edited by Professor A.
