Kyrie Eleison! A little Child doth Mary bear, Beneath her heart He nestles there. Jesus and Maria! And as the two were passing by. Kyrie Eleison! Lo, roses on the thorn appear, Lo, roses on the thorn appear Jesus and Maria! - English text by Henry S. Drinker Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind Blow, blow, thou winter wind Thou art not so unkind As man’s ingratitude; Thy tooth is not so keen, Because thou art not seen, Although thy breath be rude. Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly: Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly: Then, heigh-ho, the holly! This life is most jolly. Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky, That dost not bite so nigh As benefits forgot: Though thou the waters warp, Thy sting is not so sharp As friend remember’d not. Heigh-ho! sing, heigh-ho! unto the green holly: Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly: Then, heigh-ho, the holly! This life is most jolly. - William Shakespeare Myn Lyking I saw a fair mayden sytten and sing. She lulled a lyttel childe, a sweete Lording. Lullay myn lyking, my dere sonne, my sweeting. Lullay my dere herte, myn own dere derling. That same Lord is he that made alle thing; Of alle lordis he is Lord, of alle kynges Kyng. Lullay myn lyking, my dere sonne, my sweeting. Lullay my dere herte, myn own dere derling. There was mickle melody at that chlde’s birth. All that were in heavn’ly bliss, they made mickle mirth. Lullay myn lyking, my dere sonne, my sweeting. Lullay my dere herte, myn own dere derling. Angels bright sang their song to that child; Blyssid be thou, and so be she, so meek and so mild. Lullay myn lyking, my dere sonne, my sweeting. Lullay my dere herte, myn own dere derling. - from the Sloane manuscript This Little Babe This little Babe so few days old, Is come to rifle Satan’s fold; All hell doth at his presence quake, Though he himself for cold do shake; For in this weak unarmèd wise The gates of hell he will surprise. With tears he fights and wins the field, His naked breast stands for a shield, His battering shot are babish cries, His arrows looks of weeping eyes, His martial ensigns Cold and Need, And feeble Flesh his warrior’s steed. His camp is pitchèd in a stall, His bulwark but a broken wall; The crib his trench, haystalks his stakes; Of shepherds he his muster makes; And thus, as sure his foe to wound, The angels’ trumps alarum sound. My soul, with Christ join thou in fight; Stick to the tents that he hath pight. Within his crib is surest ward; This little Babe will be thy guard. If thou wilt foil thy foes with joy, Then flit not from this heavenly Boy. - Robert Southwell Messe de minuit pour Noël Midnight Mass for Christmas Kyrie Kyrie eleison, Lord have mercy, Christe eleison, Christ have mercy, Kyrie eleison.

Agli studi e al prezioso aiuto di Stefano Asperti devo non solo il fondamento di questo lavoro, ma anche un supporto indispensabile. Parimenti ad Anna Radaelli, sono grato per un sostegno costante, non solo scientifico ma anche morale ed emotivo. Non di meno, i numerosi consigli di Emma Dillon, spesso accompagnati da confortanti tazze di caffè nero e bollente, mi hanno permesso di (ri-)trovare ordine nel coacervo di dati, intuizioni e deduzioni che ho dovuto affrontare giorno dopo giorno. A Simon Gaunt devo un prezioso aiuto nella prima e confusa fase della mia ricerca. A Marco Cursi e Stefano Palmieri devo una paziente consulenza paleografica e a Francesca Manzari un’indispensabile expertise sulle decorazioni del Roi. Ringrazio inoltre Davide Daolmi per la guida, il paziente aiuto e le numerose “pulci”; Maria Teresa Rachetta, filologa romanza, per aver lavorato e presentato con me i primi frutti di questa ricerca, lo Chansonnier du Roi per avermi dato l’opportunità di conoscere Maria Teresa Rachetta, l’amica; Livio Giuliano per ragionamenti improbabili ad ore altrettanto improbabili, sulla sociologia arrageois; Cecilia Malatesta e Ortensia Giovannini perché … il resto nol dico, già ognuno lo sa.

  • Music Activity – Wednesday Today, We Are Going to Look at a Piece Of
    Music Activity – Wednesday Today, we are going to look at a piece of classical music. So far this year, we have not studied classical music so it is important to know what classical music is. Classical music The term 'Classical music' has come to be known as a term for music that spans the course of hundreds of years, including all Western music from Medieval Church music, to Stravinsky, to the current day. It is music that has been composed by musicians who are trained in notating their compositions so that other musicians can play them. Many people are unaware that Classical music is still being composed today, although it is very different from what was created several hundred years ago. Classical music differs from Pop music because it is not made just to be popular for a short time or just to be a commercial success. It is different from Folk music, which belongs to the people who want to perform it and passed to future generations by listening and copying. Task 1: Listen to La Quinta Estampie Real. Stand or sit to find the pulse or just listen to the music. Use this opportunity to familiarise and build on musical vocabulary. Discuss the music and what you can hear in it. (There are some fast facts about this piece of music at the end of the document for adults if you wish) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyrggAG8aMY What can you hear? How does the music make you feel? How old do you think this music is? Does the music tell a story? Do you like the music? In your home learning book, write the answers to these questions.

Eighth Concert Eleventh Annual Chamber Arts Series Complete Programs 3879 The princely elements in early music are easier to isolate than the popular ones. Especially in mediaeval times the music of the lower classes of society was a mixture of oral tradition, memory and improvisation, just as it is today in countries such as Turkey, Greece or the Balkans. The folk musicians of these countries are generally virtuoso performers and much can be learnt from them. Mediaeval dance music was essentially a solo business. An itinerant jongleur or meruistrel had to be ahle to give a convincing solo act: the best instruments for the purpose were those which provided their own drone accompaniment.

  • “By Ear and in the Memory:” Vernacular Music Processes And
    “By Ear and In the Memory:” Vernacular Music Processes and the Pedagogy of Medieval Music For many years, the teaching of western music history relied upon an evolutionary paradigm in which medieval music—actually over seven hundred years of diverse repertoire—was relegated to a role analogous to the proverbial one-celled organism from which subsequent life-forms arose. In truth, a great deal of the earliest western music is no less musically and rhetorically sophisticated than later music; nor is it characterized by one homogeneous style whose trajectory leads directly to the Common Practice period. A study of the processes, procedures, and transmission of many medieval music repertoires will reveal more commonality with vernacular musics than with the “classical” music of later eras: aural acquisition and retention in the memory, oral transmission from one musician to another, reliance on the agency of the performer rather than on the composer for its content, and evidence of improvisation, variation, and invention on the part of the performer. As musicology continues to move away from an evolutionary paradigm of music history to an approach more attuned to context and process, I propose that those of us who are scholars and performers of medieval music need to change the way medieval music is understood within the continuum of western music history, and to create new paradigms for teaching it, in both the classroom and the ensemble rehearsal studio. Medieval music is not “primitive” Several decades ago, I and about a dozen of my Indiana University Early Music Institute colleagues were sent to a small Catholic college in northern Indiana to provide historically informed musical presentations as context for a music history lecture.
