  • The Intriguing Human Preference for a Ternary Patterned Reality

How did numerology influence different aspects of human creation? How could some numbers assume such an extraordinary meaning? Why some numbers appear so often throughout the fabric of reality? Has reality really a preference for a ternary pattern? Present excursion through the ‘life’ and ‘deeds’ of this pattern and of its parent number in different fields of human culture try to offer an answer to some of these questions giving at the same time a glance of the strange preference of the human mind for a patterned reality based on number three, which, like the 'unary' and 'dualistic' patterned reality, but in a more emphatic way, ended up assuming an archetypical character in the intellectual sphere of humanity. Introduction Three is not only the sole number that is the sum of all the natural numbers less than itself, but it lies between arguably the two most important irrational and transcendental numbers of all mathematics, i.e., e < 3 < π.

Indeed, its delicate sound was more suitable in the inner chambers of courts and the quiet gardens of bourgeois villas than in the uproarious battle fields and the busy streets of towns. KEYWORDS Lute, Trecento, Italy, Bas instrument, Giullari any studies on the origin of the lute begin with ancient Mesopota- mian, Egyptian, Greek, or Roman musical instruments that carry a fingerboard (either long or short) over which various numbers M 2 of strings stretch. The Arabic ud, first widely introduced into Europe by the Moors during their conquest of Spain in the eighth century, has been suggest- ed to be the direct ancestor of the lute. If this is the case, not much is known about when, where, and how the European lute evolved from the ud. The presence of Arabs in the Iberian Peninsula and their cultivation of musical instruments during the middle ages suggest that a variety of instruments were made by Arab craftsmen in Spain.

  • La Música En Los Países Borgoñones En La Primera Mitad Del Siglo XV
    La música en los países borgoñones en la primera mitad del siglo XV Leonardo Arenas López Resumen En este breve artículo divulgativo se aborda la música en los países borgoñones en la primera mitad del siglo XV y se proponen algunas estrategias pedagógicas para su enseñanza en la asignatura de “Historia de la música” que se imparte en los conservatorios de música. Introducción Hacia el año 1400, los dos estilos musicales, distintos hasta entonces, de Francia e Italia, comenzaron a interrelacionarse. Este estilo internacional incipiente habría de enriquecerse durante el siglo XV gracias al aporte de corrientes provenientes de otras fuentes, sobre todo de Inglaterra y de la zona de los Países Bajos. Después de 1400, más o menos, una nueva sencillez comienza a cultivarse particularmente en la corte borgoñona. La música eclesiástica, que había caído en la oscuridad, comienza una vez más a recuperar su puesto en el arte musical. No toda la música de principios del siglo XV pertenece al nuevo estilo; alguna es tan compleja como la de la época precedente. El Ars subtilior Si hacia 1350 había un estilo que pudiera reclamar para sí el representar una tradición polifónica “central” (este es el término utilizado por Atlas, 2002a), ése era el del Ars nova francés. En conjunto, mientras Inglaterra e Italia constituían tradiciones importantes secundarias, era Francia la que asumía el papel protagonista. Una de las características que impregnaron la música francesa durante buena parte del siglo XIV fue la tendencia a la complejidad. Esto es particularmente evidente en el motete isorrítmico, con sus taleas y colores a menudo no sincronizados y su uso de la disminución proporcional en taleas sucesivas.

  • 13Th Century Psaltery Musical Instrument Document
    Copyright Barry Ebersole 2003 Cantigas de Santa Maria Psaltery (13th Century) pg 1 The Psaltery or Kanon (Canon -- Canale -- Qanon) The Cantigas de Santa Maria manuscript ca. 1260. Here are two kanons being tuned and played. There are many shapes of psaltrys, however this one resembles the modern qunan shape and is interesting in many ways. This is the model for reproduction. The tuning wrench being used by the left hand figure should be noted -- shows use of metal tuning pins. Copyright Barry Ebersole 2003 Cantigas de Santa Maria Psaltery (13th Century) pg 2 French, Lambertus Treatise, 13th Century ("King David with Musicians" in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, MS. lat.6755(2), fol. Av). The psaltry in this picture shows the empty area (the corner where the string length is too short for use) This is the same shape and type as in the Cantigas illustration (the one chosen for reproduction). A double row of pegs can be seen – this clearly incicates double stringing even though the lines for strings do not show it. Psaltries come in many shapes and sizes. Music and Her Attendants. Fourteenth-century Italian miniature illustrating the De aritlumetica of Boethius. A pig snout psaltry. Copyright Barry Ebersole 2003 Cantigas de Santa Maria Psaltery (13th Century) pg 3 Hans Memling 1480 – a psaltery on the far left. Two inches thick – an on-going theme. 12th century psaltry – an early European representation. This is so similar to the period instrument I have in my personal collection dated 1650. Note this three dimentional carving clearly shows a thickness of about two inches.

The Early Medieval Music (500-1150). i. Early chant traditions Chant (or plainsong) is a monophonic sacred form which represents the earliest known music of the Christian Church. The simplest, syllabic chants, in which each syllable is set to one note, were probably intended to be sung by the choir or congregation, while the more florid, melismatic examples (which have many notes to each syllable) were probably performed by soloists. Plainchant melodies (which are sometimes referred to as a “drown,” are characterized by the following: A monophonic texture; For ease of singing, relatively conjunct melodic contour (meaning no large intervals between one note and the next) and a restricted range (no notes too high or too low); and Rhythms based strictly on the articulation of the word being sung (meaning no steady dancelike beats). Chant developed separately in several European centers, the most important being Rome, Hispania, Gaul, Milan and Ireland. Chant was developed to support the regional liturgies used when celebrating Mass. Each area developed its own chant and rules for celebration. In Spain and Portugal, Mozarabic chant was used, showing the influence of North Afgican music. The Mozarabic liturgy survived through Muslim rule, though this was an isolated strand and was later suppressed in an attempt to enforce conformity on the entire liturgy.
