  • The Trecento Lute

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.

  • El Rocío: a Case Study of Music and Ritual in Andalucía
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: EL ROCÍO: A CASE STUDY OF MUSIC AND RITUAL IN ANDALUCÍA W. Gerard Poole, Ph.D., 2007 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Carolina Robertson, Department of Ethnomusicology Music is central to the processional pilgrimage of El Rocío, which attracts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to Andalusia, Spain, late each spring. The pilgrimage affords a unique view, in microcosm, of the relationships between music and ritual from both ritual-studies and ethnomusicological perspectives. Based on extensive fieldwork and other research, this dissertation explores the nexus of the Catholic ritual system in Andalusia, flamenco, and the specific music of El Rocío: the Sevillanas Rocieras. That nexus becomes clear through exploration of three particular features of the pilgrimage: (1) the devotional processions that generate a single, focused, collective emotion; (2) the Andalusian musical form called the palo; and (3) the informal musical gatherings called juergas, which take place nightly along the route. Analysis of structural and morphological relationships between ritual, music, and emotion yields surprising realizations about how these three elements come together as embodied aesthetics within a communitas to generate popular culture. Another important finding of this work is the necessity of placing, at the center of the inquiry, the religious experience—including the curious Andalusian phenomenon of the “chaotic” emotional procession and its role within the overall pilgrimage and ritual system. The dissertation concludes with two theoretical positions. The first addresses the process of “emotional structuring” and its role within the musical rituals of El Rocío and, by extension, Andalusia. The second advances a theory of ritual relations with potential application to ritual systems beyond Andalusia.

It is a starting point for exploration into Tudor music. In it children will begin to learn about Tudor Dance music, in particular the Pavan as a popular Tudor dance. Children will identify its characteristic musical features and rhythms before attempting to dance the Pavan and performing their own Pavan melody over a drone accompaniment. Children will then move on to learn about traditional Tudor musical instruments before exploring Tudor songs and madrigal-style songs with a ‘fa, la, la, la’ refrain. Where they will compose their own lyrics to a madrigal melody. Fanfares are explored briefly before children work towards putting on a Tudor style banquet/concert combining elements of all the musical learning in to a class performance. Unit structure National Curriculum objectives: This unit is structured around six sequential music enquiries: 1. What is a Pavan? Links to previous and future National Curriculum 2.

Medieval Fyddle & Bow English (Canterbury), Passionale of Augustine c.1100 (detail of initial T from British Museum, London, MS Arundel 91, fol.218v). Note the four strings clearly detailed by the artist. Other parts are sketchy, such as bridge, tail piece and finger board. There appears to be a hint of a finger board but these details are again, sketchy. The nut is suggested in sketchy form like the fingerboard. Elevation of the bridge and other setup details are not determinable. The form of the body and the sound holes are clear in this picture. The same picture, full view. It is important to get the best picture one can find of the original or wrong conclusions can be make – this picture looks to have only three strings, yet the more detailed reproduction of the same manuscript – from another source – clearly shows more detail including four strings and a hint of a finger board. Page 1 Southern English, "Tiberius" Psalter, c.1050 ("Musician from King David's suite" in British Museum, London, Cotton MS.Tib.C.VI, fol. 30v). Other period icons of similar instruments are worth examining before starting the final work on the above recreation of the English (Canterbury), Passionale of Augustine c.1100 fyddle French, Gradual of Nevers c.1060 ("Musician dancing, with legend Consonancia cuncta musica" from Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, MS. lat.9449 The artist has shown us a line hinting at a finger board. Later instruments have longer fingerboards of two shades – the half closer to the nut being dark and the other half, closer to the bridge, being light and colored as the instrument.

  • 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.

  • Romanian Traditional Musical Instruments
    GRU-10-P-LP-57-DJ-TR ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Romania is a European country whose population consists mainly (approx. 90%) of ethnic Romanians, as well as a variety of minorities such as German, Hungarian and Roma (Gypsy) populations. This has resulted in a multicultural environment which includes active ethnic music scenes. Romania also has thriving scenes in the fields of pop music, hip hop, heavy metal and rock and roll. During the first decade of the 21st century some Europop groups, such as Morandi, Akcent, and Yarabi, achieved success abroad. Traditional Romanian folk music remains popular, and some folk musicians have come to national (and even international) fame. ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC Folk music is the oldest form of Romanian musical creation, characterized by great vitality; it is the defining source of the cultured musical creation, both religious and lay. Conservation of Romanian folk music has been aided by a large and enduring audience, and by numerous performers who helped propagate and further develop the folk sound. (One of them, Gheorghe Zamfir, is famous throughout the world today, and helped popularize a traditional Romanian folk instrument, the panpipes.) The earliest music was played on various pipes with rhythmical accompaniment later added by a cobza. This style can be still found in Moldavian Carpathian regions of Vrancea and Bucovina and with the Hungarian Csango minority. The Greek historians have recorded that the Dacians played guitars, and priests perform songs with added guitars. The bagpipe was popular from medieval times, as it was in most European countries, but became rare in recent times before a 20th century revival.
