DE HEER, MUZIEKHANDEL SAUL B. GROEN. All rights reserved. VOCAL MUSIC TO c. 1825 first version, 2006 This catalogue follows the same principles as the one of instrumental music which was issued in 2002 and of which a completely revised and updated version is in preparation: it tries to link information on the sources (manuscripts and early printed editions) to all currently available modern editions, not only of the calibre of the Opera Omnia, but also all those practical ones of more modest scope. However, in the vocal section manuscripts hold much more the spotlight, as all music up to about 1500 has come down to us in hand-written form; only since the 1530s-1540s the printing presses flooded the market with editions for a much larger public than before. Manuscripts in alphabetical order of the RISM-library sigla which are listed here under the tab "Sources"; they have been selected from the complete RISM-list, readily available in "RISM-Bibliotekssigel. Gesamtverzeichnis" (1999). To make things easier you will find a complete list (again under: "Sources") of all manuscripts described here, specifying call names and sections where to find them. After the description and inventory of each manuscript are to be found the editions (in facsimile or in transcription) of the complete or partial contents of this ms., editions of anonymous works, and concordances with other mss. Other editions of works ascribed to a composer (or several composers) can be traced in the section "Composers A-Z" where the lists of sources refer back to the manuscripts and early prints. Early Prints in chronological order of publication After the description and inventory of each early print are to be found the editions (in facsimile or in transcription) of the complete or partial contents of this print, editions of anonymous works, and concordances with manuscripts and other early prints. Other editions of works ascribed to a composer (or several composers) can be traced in the section "Composers A-Z" where the lists of sources refer back to the manuscripts and early prints. Modern Collections in alphabetical order of titles All compositions ascribed to a composer are also included in the section "Composers A - Z". Composers Organization differs as per composer: a) Complete list of works; all editions refer to the numbers in that list. b) Opera Omnia available; all other editions refer to the description of it. c) No complete work list and no Opera Omnia: 1. editions in chronological order of early prints 2. each publication with a description of its sources Endless Beginnings This is a first tentative version of the vocal catalogue. As a sort of "completion" will be a matter of a longer time, I decided to issue this intermediate state of affairs. It is a house still in the scaffoldings, one room nicely decorated, some staircases missing, the doorstep scrubbed but the hall still half bare; and the attic..... Noli me tangere? I will be grateful for every sensible correction and for information concerning publications I might not have noticed; this last remark is also meant for all those small scale music publishers who do not normally advertise their issues in the music magazines. Thanks I am very grateful to Saul B. Groen who gave me the opportunity to start this crazy work and who sustains through all these years. Orders Orders to sponsor all this work will be very welcome. Please see: "Order Information". Help! The lists of vocal music in this catalogue form by far the most extensive and complicated section of the whole project. Particular care has been taken to be as clear and explicit as possible. In case you cannot find the right path or are doubtful about something, please let us know! Last but not least: we hope that this catalogue will be of help to you and that you will enjoy browsing through it. Meindert de Heer M U Z I E K H A N D E L S A U L B .

E-ISSN: 2413-7502 Vol. 5, Is. 1, pp. 3-13, 2017 DOI: 10.13187/crus.2017.5.3 www.ejournal29.com Articles and Statements «The Romance of the Rose» as an Outstanding Example of a Philosophical-Allegoric Novel in a French Chivalric Literature Olga F. Jilevich a, Ruslan B. Gagua a , * a Polessky State University, Republic of Belarus Abstract The present article is devoted to the research of the features of the philosophical and allegorical poem «The Romance of the Rose» as an outstanding example of French chivalric literature. The philosophical and allegorical aspects of the medieval mentality determined many features of the era’s allegorical works artistic world, such as the event scheme, the chronotope, the system and the characters peculiar qualities. The allegory in «The Romance of the Rose» helps to discover a hidden philosophical meaning, abstract knowledge. In Guillaume de Lorris, the allegory served as a technical function, allowing the lyrical song to be translated into narrative discourse. For Jean de Meung, the allegory is important in itself, as a method of interpretation. In the novel Jean de Meung allegorical images utter extensive speeches, they personify certain moral and philosophical positions. In the image of the main character, features characteristic of the characters appear in the future philosophical novel: he is asked by eternal questions and tries to find answers to them. The specificity of Jean de Meung’s novel is the predominance of satire and didactics.

  • Guillaume IX, Le Gap Et La Psychologie Évolutionniste
    Guillaume IX, le Gap et la Psychologie évolutionniste Si l’on s’accorde pour attribuer le titre de premier troubadour à Guillaume de Poitiers (1071-1126), septième comte de ce nom et neuvième duc d’Aquitaine, ce n’est pas seulement à cause de l’igno- rance où nous sommes de tout ce qui a pu le précéder; cela reflète aus- si l’exceptionnelle diversité de la mince œuvre qu’il nous a léguée, indice d’un tâtonnement typique des débuts. A une exception près, contestée d’ailleurs, les pièces conservées sont toutes désignées par l’appellation passe-partout vers (autre signe d’un art qui se cherche), et pourtant le prince-poète n’a jamais cessé d’explorer les diverses possibilités métriques et thématiques qu’offrait cette forme. Dès avant la fameuse étiquette «trovatore bifronte» dont Pio Rajna a doté Guillaume, Friedrich Diez, qui ne connaissait que neuf sur onze de ses poésies, avait partagé son œuvre en trois catégories en fonction de leur contenu sensuel (sinnlich), tendre (zärtlich) ou sérieux (ernst), réparti- tion reprise dans l’édition Jeanroy 1. Les recherches les plus récentes raffinent encore l’analyse, distinguant non moins de cinq «registres» (Bec), voire six groupes ou sous-groupes (Lafont) dans l’œuvre de notre poète 2. L’hétérogénéité de la production poétique de Guillaume, sur- tout son ‘bifrontisme’, l’écart entre ses poèmes ‘courtois’ et ‘non-cour- tois’, a toujours posé un problème pour les études occitanes, susci- tant de nombreuses tentatives d’explication, dont on ne peut citer que quelques-unes des plus saillantes.

  • 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.

  • Troubadours NEW GROVE
    Troubadours, trouvères. Lyric poets or poet-musicians of France in the 12th and 13th centuries. It is customary to describe as troubadours those poets who worked in the south of France and wrote in Provençal, the langue d’oc , whereas the trouvères worked in the north of France and wrote in French, the langue d’oil . I. Troubadour poetry 1. Introduction. The troubadours were the earliest and most significant exponents of the arts of music and poetry in medieval Western vernacular culture. Their influence spread throughout the Middle Ages and beyond into French (the trouvères, see §II below), German, Italian, Spanish, English and other European languages. The first centre of troubadour song seems to have been Poitiers, but the main area extended from the Atlantic coast south of Bordeaux in the west, to the Alps bordering on Italy in the east. There were also ‘schools’ of troubadours in northern Italy itself and in Catalonia. Their influence, of course, spread much more widely. Pillet and Carstens (1933) named 460 troubadours; about 2600 of their poems survive, with melodies for roughly one in ten. The principal troubadours include AIMERIC DE PEGUILHAN ( c1190–c1221), ARNAUT DANIEL ( fl c1180–95), ARNAUT DE MAREUIL ( fl c1195), BERNART DE VENTADORN ( fl c1147–70), BERTRAN DE BORN ( fl c1159–95; d 1215), Cerveri de Girona ( fl c1259–85), FOLQUET DE MARSEILLE ( fl c1178–95; d 1231), GAUCELM FAIDIT ( fl c1172–1203), GUILLAUME IX , Duke of Aquitaine (1071–1126), GIRAUT DE BORNELH ( fl c1162–99), GUIRAUT RIQUIER ( fl c1254–92), JAUFRE RUDEL ( fl c1125–48), MARCABRU ( fl c1130–49), PEIRE D ’ALVERNHE ( fl c1149–68; d 1215), PEIRE CARDENAL ( fl c1205–72), PEIRE VIDAL ( fl c1183–c1204), PEIROL ( c1188–c1222), RAIMBAUT D ’AURENGA ( c1147–73), RAIMBAUT DE VAQEIRAS ( fl c1180–1205), RAIMON DE MIRAVAL ( fl c1191–c1229) and Sordello ( fl c1220–69; d 1269).

    The Song from the Singer: Personification, Embodiment, and Anthropomorphization in Troubadour Lyric Anne Levitsky Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Anne Levitsky All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Song from the Singer: Personification, Embodiment, and Anthropomorphization in Troubadour Lyric Anne Levitsky This dissertation explores the relationship of the act of singing to being a human in the lyric poetry of the troubadours, traveling poet-musicians who frequented the courts of contemporary southern France in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. In my dissertation, I demonstrate that the troubadours surpass traditionally-held perceptions of their corpus as one entirely engaged with themes of courtly romance and society, and argue that their lyric poetry instead both displays the influence of philosophical conceptions of sound, and critiques notions of personhood and sexuality privileged by grammarians, philosophers, and theologians. I examine a poetic device within troubadour songs that I term ‘personified song’—an occurrence in the lyric tradition where a performer turns toward the song he/she is about to finish singing and directly addresses it. This act lends the song the human capabilities of speech, motion, and agency. It is through the lens of the ‘personified song’ that I analyze this understudied facet of troubadour song. Chapter One argues that the location of personification in the poetic text interacts with the song’s melodic structure to affect the type of personification the song undergoes, while exploring the ways in which singing facilitates the creation of a body for the song.
