Johannes De Grocheio and Jerome De Moravia Op QUESTIONING THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES IN THIRTEENTH-CENTURY PARIS: JOHANNES DE GROCHEIO AND JEROME DE MORAVIA OP Constant J. Mews Changing the curriculum within any university is always a difficult enterprise. Much has been written about the impact in Paris in the thirteenth century of newly translated scientific works of Aristotle on thinking about such major issues as the eternity of the world. Less attention, however, has been given to the implications of the impact of Aristotelian thought for thinking about music, a discipline that was always considered to be a natural part of mathematica. In this paper, I shall explore the tension between Aristotelian and Boethian perspec- tives on music at the University of Paris in the later thirteenth cen- tury through comparing two, very different treatises: theArs musice of Johannes de Grocheio, active in Paris in the later thirteenth century, and the Tractatus de musica of the Dominican, Jerome (Hierony- mus) de Moravia. Whereas Jerome draws heavily on the authority of Boethius, Grocheio turns to Aristotle to justify an account based on the practice of music in Paris. After introducing these two figures, I shall explore the contrasting ways in which they respond to the authority of both Boethius’s De musica and Aristotle’s De caelo. Grocheio’s only known composition is preserved anonymously sim- ply as an Ars musice in (H) London, British Library, Harley 281, fols. 39–52, a rich anthology of treatises about music, copied in around 1300.1 Copied in a single hand, this volume opens with a collection of 1 The most recent edition of the Ars musice is that of Ernst Rohloff, with valuable facsimile reproduction of the two surviving manuscripts, Die Quellenhandschriften zum Musiktraktat des Johannes de Grocheio. In Faksimile herausgegeben nebst Übertragung des Textes und Übersetzung in Deutsche, dazu Bericht, Literaturschau, Tabellen und Indices (Leipzig, 1972), henceforward referred to as Rohloff 1972. The work was first edited from the Darmstadt MS by Johannes Wolf, “Die Musiklehre des Johannes de Grocheo,” Sammelbände der Internationalen Musikgesellschaft 1 (1899–1900), 69–120; Rohloff studied the work in a Leipzig dissertation of 1925, published asStudien zum Musiktraktat des Johannes de Grocheo, Media Latinitas Musica 1 (Leipzig, 1930; 2nd ed. Leipzig, 1943), but published the edition as Der Musiktraktat des Johannes de Grocheo, Media Latinitas Musica 2 (Leipzig, 1943), drawing on both manuscripts. 96 constant j. mews treatises by, or attributed to, Guido of Arezzo, and a Cistercian tonary. Then follow Grocheio’s Ars musice and two treatises on the tones, one by Petrus de Cruce, a secular cleric of Amiens, the second by Guy of Saint-Denis, who may well be responsible for compiling the Harley MS as a whole in around 1300.2 Grocheio is identified by name as its author only in a second (textually inferior) copy, produced in the early four- teenth century and belonging to the Carthusian library of St Barbara, Cologne (D: Darmstadt, Landesbibliothek 2663, fols. 56–69):3 Explicit theoria magistri Johannis de Grocheio, regentis Parisius. (The last two words, indicating that he was a regent master at Paris, were added subsequently by the same hand, Parisius being scarcely legible). No other records have been found that mention him, adding to the air of mystery which surrounds his achievement. Christopher Page has suggested that he came from Gruchy, in Normandy, a supposition strengthened by his occasional reference to forms of song and dance practised in Normandy.4 An English translation was produced by Albert Seay, Concerning music (De musica) (Colorado Springs, 1973). References are given to the Rohloff 1972 edition, and the folio of the Harley manuscript, while Grocheio’s text is cited from an edition and translation forthcoming with TEAMS (Kalamazoo, MI), being prepared by the author with John Crossley, Catherine Jeffreys, Leigh McKinnon, and Carol Williams (all from Monash University, Australia). I am indebted to these colleagues for illuminating so many points in this paper, in particular to John Crossley, as also to Nancy van Deusen, for discussing this paper. Thanks are also due to the Australian Research Council for funding this project. 2 The Harley manuscript is described by Michel Huglo and Nancy Phillips in The Theory of Music: Descriptive Catalogue of Manuscripts, eds. Joseph Smits van Waesberghe, Peter Fischer, and Christian Maas, RISM, 6 vols. (Munich, 1961–2003), 4:74–78. The texts attributed to Guido of Arezzo have been extended with a heavily edited version of the De musica sometimes assigned to pseudo-Odo, as well as with further material, assembled by Guy of Saint-Denis; see Constant J. Mews, John N. Crossley, Catherine Jeffreys and Carol Williams, “Guy of Saint-Denis and the Compilation of Texts about Music in London, British Library, Harl. MS. 281,” Electronic British Library Journal (2008), art. 6, pp. 1–34 <http://www.bl.uk/eblj/2008articles/article6.html>. The two treatises on the tones in this manuscript are Petrus de Cruce, Tractatus de tonis, ed. Denis Harbinson, Corpus Scriptorum de Musica 29 (Rome, 1976) and Guido von Saint-Denis, Tractatus de tonis, ed. Sieglinde van de Klundert, 2 vols. (Bubenreuth, 1998). Guy speaks favourably about Petrus de Cruce as a great composer at Amiens, Tractatus de tonis 2.1 and 2.8, ed. van de Klundert, pp. 78, 133. 3 The Darmstadt manuscript is described in detail by Richard Bruce Marks,The Medieval Manuscript Library of the Charterhouse of St Barbara at Cologne, 2 vols., Analecta Cartusiana 21–22 (Salzburg, 1974), 2:361–63, more detailed than Michel Huglo and Christian Meyer, The Theory of Music3 (1986), 41–42. 4 Christopher Page, “Johannes de Grocheio on Secular Music: a Corrected Text and a New Translation,” Plainsong and Medieval Music 2 (1993), 17–41, repr. in Music and Instruments of the Middle Ages: Studies on Texts and Performance (Aldershot, 1997). .

  • 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). For a discussion of mode in relation to ancient Greek theory see Greece, §I, 6 I. The term II. Medieval modal theory III. Modal theories and polyphonic music IV. Modal scales and traditional music V.

  • Why Do Singers Sing in the Way They
    Why do singers sing in the way they do? Why, for example, is western classical singing so different from pop singing? How is it that Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe could sing together? These are the kinds of questions which John Potter, a singer of international repute and himself the master of many styles, poses in this fascinating book, which is effectively a history of singing style. He finds the reasons to be primarily ideological rather than specifically musical. His book identifies particular historical 'moments of change' in singing technique and style, and relates these to a three-stage theory of style based on the relationship of singing to text. There is a substantial section on meaning in singing, and a discussion of how the transmission of meaning is enabled or inhibited by different varieties of style or technique.

  • Vestiges of Midsummer Ritual in Motets for John the Baptist
    Early Music History (2011) Volume 30. Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S0261127911000027 M A A Email: [email protected] FIRE, FOLIAGE AND FURY: VESTIGES OF MIDSUMMER RITUAL IN MOTETS FOR JOHN THE BAPTIST The thirteenth-century motet repertory has been understood on a wide spectrum, with recent scholarship amplifying the relationship between the liturgical tenors and the commentary in the upper voices. This study examines a family of motets based on the tenors IOHANNE and MULIERUM from the feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist (24 June). Several texts within this motet family make references to well-known traditions associated with the pagan festival of Midsummer, the celebration of the summer solstice. Allusions to popular solstitial practices including the lighting of bonfires and the public criticism of authority, in addition to the cultural awareness of the sun’s power on this day, conspicuously surface in these motets, particularly when viewed through the lens of the tenor. The study suggests the further obfuscation of sacred and secular poles in the motet through attentiveness to images of popular, pre-Christian rituals that survive in these polyphonic works. In the northern French village of Jumièges from the late Middle Ages to the middle of the nineteenth century, a peculiar fraternal ritual took place. Each year on the evening of the twenty-third of June, the Brotherhood of the Green Wolf chose its new chief. Arrayed in a brimless green hat in the shape of a cone, the elected master led the men to a priest and choir; Portions of this study were read at the Medieval and Renaissance Conference at the Institut für Musikwissenschaft, University of Vienna, 8–11 August 2007 and at the University of Chicago’s Medieval Workshop on 19 May 2006.

  • Chapter 2: Secular and Cathedral Music in the High Middle Ages I
    Chapter 2: Secular and Cathedral Music in the High Middle Ages I. Introduction – Chapter 1 dealt primarily with sacred music, influenced by the fact that initially only sacred music was available for observation. Chapter 2 turns to secular music. II. Troubadours and Trouvères A.Troubadours 1. The first European vernacular poet whose work survives was William IX (7th count of Poitiers and 9th duke of Aquitaine). b. The tradition of these poets is known as the troubadour. c. The troubadour tradition was a “top down” as those of the highest social ranks were the main participants. Their poetry celebrated feudal ideals. d. Different types of troubadour verse dealt with various aspects of the feudal system, including songs of alliance, knightly decorum, exploits, challenges, and death. 2. Courtly love lay at the heart of the troubadour tradition. a. The canso was a song about love. b. Courtly love songs celebrated the same high ideals as other types of songs. c. The lady about whom a poet wrote usually outranked him, making her theoretically unattainable. d. Courtly love was generally more about veneration than physical love. e. The poetic style matches the lofty ideals of courtly love, as demonstrated in Can vei la lauzeta mover. B. Performance and Oral Culture 1. We do not know the rhythm of troubadour songs, but most likely the loftier style of the troubadour songs approximated that of contemporary chant. 2. Some troubadour songs matched a lower-class style; these were not based on chant style. a. Pastorela is one such genre. b. L’autrier jost’ una sebissa by Marcabru is an example.

Sometimes the nobleman forces his attentions on her, and other times she outwits him. Sebastian Antoine Busnois wrote a motet in honor of Ockeghem. One of the most important extant sources of Goliards chansons is the Carmina Burana.

The clausula, thus practised, became the motet when troped with non-liturgical words, and this further developed into a form of great elaboration, sophistication and subtlety in the fourteenth century, the period of Ars nova. The earliest innovations upon monophonic plainchant were heterophonic. Its distinguishing factor is that the parts did not have to move only in parallel motion, but could also move in oblique, or contrary motion. Originally, the tenor line from the Latin tenere , "to hold" held a preexisting liturgical chant line in the original Latin, while the text of the one, two, or even three voices above, called the voces organales , provided commentary on the liturgical subject either in Latin or in the vernacular French.

It draws on historical theories and practices, particularly those of the cantus tradition which 1) pre-dates the imposition on Western ecclesiastical chant of scale theories based in the Ancient Greek science of harmonics, 2) observes and predicts actual melodic behavior, and 3) remains basic to pedagogy through the centuries. Central to cantus-tradition doctrine is the investment of melodic tones with structural functions which articulate modes as melodic archetypes; idiomelic antiphons are analyzed according to five melodic functions derived from formulaic psalmody in a framework modally conditioned by the qualitative and intervallic relationship of final and tenor. Medieval sources put forward this functional dyad as essential to modal cognition—sometimes as the basis of modal construction—through a widespread mnemonic I call the “Re-la, re-fa” Rule; these dyads are also embedded in the ninth- century Noanoeane and eleventh-century Primum quaerite melodic prototypes.

  • A Corrected Text and a New Translation
    Plainsong and Medieval Musk, 2,1,17-41 © 1993 Cambridge University Press Johannes de Grocheio on secular music: a corrected text and a new translation CHRISTOPHER PAGE It has long been recognized that Johannes de Grocheio's De musictf is an outstand- ing source of information about Parisian musical practice c. 1300. However, the critical text of the treatise published by Rohloff in 1972 can be improved by return- ing to the manuscripts,2 and the pioneering English translation, by Albert Seay, can now be corrected in some important particulars.3 The purpose of this article is therefore to present a corrected text and a new (annotated) translation of Johannes de Grocheio's remarks about secular music, both monophonic and polyphonic, generally regarded as the most important part of his treatise.4 To judge by Grocheio's comments on measured notation, he was writing c. 1300; he mentions Franco (whose Ars cantus mensurabilis was probably compiled c. 1280, according to current opinion), and he refers to the division of the tempus 'into two, into three, and in the same way on up to six'.5 The text deals with Parisian musical practices, and Grocheio's thoroughness in this regard leaves no doubt that he had sampled the musical life of the capital; his passing references to Aristotelian con- cepts such as forma et materia, and to commentaries upon the De anima (among other books), suggest that he had studied in Paris, presumably by attending a 1 I adopt this title since it is the one that Grocheio employs himself; see E.
