I would also like to thank previous members of the committee–Wallace MacKenzie and Jennifer Brown–who were so helpful in the earliest phases of my doctoral work. I would also like to thank Elizabeth Aubrey of the University of Iowa, Adelaide Russo, Jeff Perry, Richard Kaplan, Steven Beck, and all the other members of the Louisiana State University faculty who provided intellectual and moral support. I could not have completed my work without consulting manuscripts or microfilms at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, the Ambrosiana Collection in the Medieval Institute Library at Notre Dame, and Sibley Music Library in Rochester. My references would have been much less complete without the help of Bob Gilliam at Drake Library at SUNY Brockport. Next, I need to thank all my friends in Baton Rouge, Brockport, and Rochester who provided tremendous moral support during the dissertation process. I need to mention my fellow graduate students: Linda Cummins, Ed Eanes, Melissa Goldsmith, Nigel Gwee, and Steve Isaac; inhabitants of the Library porch; the Jimmy Mac’s crowd; the Park Avenue neighbors; members of the Baton Rouge Consort of Viols; members of the Mean-tone Consort in Rochester; and my colleagues in the Earth Sciences Department and Delta College at SUNY Brockport. Finally, it could not have been accomplished without the support of my parents, Betty and Bob Washer; my cat, Mimi (who suggested many changes to the manuscript); and my husband, Whitney Autin. iii Table of Contents Acknowledgments . iii List of Tables. vi List of Figures . .viii List of Manuscripts. .xi Abstract . xii Chapter 1.

  • 02 Chapter 1 Stoessel
    Prologue La harpe de melodie faite saunz mirancholie par plaisir doit bien cescun resjorr pour l'armonie orr, sonner et vei'r. J With the prior verses begins one of the most fascinating musical works in the ars subtilior style, composed by the master musician Jacob de Senleches. This composer, as his name suggests, was a native of northern France whose scant biographical details indicate he was a valued musician at courts in the south at Castile, Navarre and possibly Avignon.2 La harpe de melodie typifies several aspects of the present study. Firstly, its presence in a n1anuscripe copied in the city of Pavia in Lombardy indicates the cultivation of ostensibly French music in the ars subtilior style in northern Italy. Secondly, its musical notation contains novel, experimental notational devices and note shapes that parallel intellectual developments in other fields of culture in this period. I "The melodious harp made without melancholy to please, well may each person rejoice to hear, sing and hear its harmony." (All translations are mine, unless otherwise specified.) 2 The conclusion that Jacob de Senleches was a native of northern France is made on the premise that Senleches is the near-homophone of Senlecques, a village just south of Calais in the County of Artois. The only surviving archival evidence concerning Jacob de Senleches consists of a dispensation made at the Court of Navarre by Charles II of Navarre on 21 sl August, 1383 which speCifies: ... 100 libras a Jacomill de Sen/aches, juglar de harpe, para regresar a donde se encontraba el cardenal de Aragon, su maestro (" 100 libras for Jacob de Senleches, player of the harp, to return to where he was to meet the Cardinal of Aragon, his master."), Jlid.

  • I. the Term Стр. 1 Из 93 Mode 01.10.2013 Mk:@Msitstore:D
    Mode Стр. 1 из 93 Mode (from Lat. modus: ‘measure’, ‘standard’; ‘manner’, ‘way’). A term in Western music theory with three main applications, all connected with the above meanings of modus: the relationship between the note values longa and brevis in late medieval notation; interval, in early medieval theory; and, most significantly, a concept involving scale type and melody type. The term ‘mode’ has always been used to designate classes of melodies, and since the 20th century to designate certain kinds of norm or model for composition or improvisation as well. Certain phenomena in folksong and in non-Western music are related to this last meaning, and are discussed below in §§IV and V. The word is also used in acoustical parlance to denote a particular pattern of vibrations in which a system can oscillate in a stable way; see Sound, §5(ii).

  • 1 the Middle Ages
    THE MIDDLE AGES 1 1 The Middle Ages Introduction The Middle Ages lasted a thousand years, from the break-up of the Roman Empire in the fifth century to the end of the fifteenth, when there was an awareness that a ‘dark time’ (Rabelais dismissively called it ‘gothic’) separated the present from the classical world. During this medium aevum or ‘Middle Age’, situated between classical antiquity and modern times, the centre of the world moved north as the civil- ization of the Mediterranean joined forces with the vigorous culture of temperate Europe. Rather than an Age, however, it is more appropriate to speak of Ages, for surges of decay and renewal over ten centuries redrew the political, social and cultural map of Europe, by war, marriage and treaty. By the sixth century, Christianity was replacing older gods and the organized fabric of the Roman Empire had been eroded and trading patterns disrupted. Although the Church kept administrative structures and learning alive, barbarian encroachments from the north and Saracen invasions from the south posed a continuing threat. The work of undoing the fragmentation of Rome’s imperial domain was undertaken by Charlemagne (742–814), who created a Holy Roman Empire, and subsequently by his successors over many centuries who, in bursts of military and administrative activity, bought, earned or coerced the loyalty of the rulers of the many duchies and comtés which formed the patchwork of feudal territories that was France. This process of centralization proceeded at variable speeds. After the break-up of Charlemagne’s empire at the end of the tenth century, ‘France’ was a kingdom which occupied the region now known as 2 THE MIDDLE AGES the Île de France.

  • Gregorian Chant
    GREGORIAN CHANT GREGORIAN CHANT A TEXTBOOK FOR SEMINARIES, NOVITIATES AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS by REV. ANDREW F. KLARMANN Published by GREGORIAN INSTITUTE OF AMERICA TOLEDO, OHIO Imprimatur *MOST REV. THOMAS E. MOLLOY, S.T.D. Bishop of Brooklyn Nihil Obstat REV. JOHN F. DONOVAN Censor Librorum JANUARY 27, 1945 Desclee and Company of Tournai, Belgium, has granted permission to the author to use the rhythmic marks in this textbook. COPYRIGHT, 1945. BY GREGORIAN INSTITUTE PRINTED IN U.S.A. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Dedicated to MOST REVEREND THOMAS E. MOLLOY BISHOP OF BROOKLYN FOREWORD In the following pages Father Klarmann presents a clear, orderly, systematic treatment of liturgical chant. At the very beginning of his treatise he provides an explanation of certain fundamental terms, such as notation, signs, rhythm, chant structure, etc., which is very serviceable in preparing the reader for the fuller development of the general theme in the sub- sequent chapters of this book. With the same thought and purpose the author more particu- larly gives an early definition of the chief subject of discussion, namely, chant, which he defines, in the usually accepted sense, as liturgical music in the form of plain song, which is monophonic, unaccompanied and free in rhythm. Very interestingly also chant structure is explained. The author then proceeds to record the his- torical development of chant at least in its salient features. It is readily understood of course that the Infant Church could not promote a notable advancement in liturgical music during the period of ruthless persecution. And still it seems quite certain that even in the catacombs hymns were used in connection with religious worship.
