Ventura Nieto Medieval and Renaissance International Music Conference Barcelona, 5-8 July 2011 Welcome! We are very pleased to welcome you to the Medieval and Renaissance International Music Conference which for the first time is being held in Spain, in the historic Institut d‘Estudis Catalans (IEC). The Catalan Academy was founded in 1907 by Enric Prat de la Riba with the aim of supporting research in every aspect of the Catalan language and culture and raising its profile in the world at large. The Conference is co-organized with the section of Musicology of the Institució Milà i Fontanals, Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), home to the former “Instituto Español de Musicología” created by Higini Anglès. Over 200 musicologists from 20 countries have registered for this year’s Conference, which offers over 130 papers and 7 poster presentations; it is the largest musicological conference ever organized in Barcelona. All papers and presentations will take place in the rooms around the patio of the IEC, except the Welcome and information session and the two keynote lectures scheduled in the nearby building of the Universitat de Barcelona. Breaks and the Conference Reception (Wednesday 6 July, 7.15pm) will be held in the IEC patio. In the upper and lower cloisters of the patio, there will be the following book stalls and exhibitions: Rosemary Dooley’s Books on Music (representing Boydell, Brépols, CUP, OUP, Reichenberger); Ashgate; Societat Catalana de Musicologia; Institut d’Estudis Catalans; and poster displays. Throughout the Conference there will be an exhibition of Medieval and Renaissance Music Manuscripts and Printed Books in the display area at the entrance to the Biblioteca de Catalunya (in the patio beyond the IEC): Mon-Fri, 9am-8pm; Sat, 9am-2pm. The Conference Concert takes place on Tuesday 5 July at the Capella de Santa Àgata (Capella Reial), Plaça del Rei, part of the Gothic complex of buildings that formed the medieval royal palace of Barcelona. The programme of music by Victoria to mark the 400th anniversary of his death is given by Musica Reservata de Barcelona, directed by Peter Phillips. The Conference Dinner takes place in the Asador de Aranda (c/ Londres, 94) on Thursday 7 July at 9pm. This spacious restaurant boasts a traditional Castilian décor and the speciality of roast lamb. We are very grateful to the following for helping to make the Conference possible: Institut d’Estudis Catalans; Institució Milà i Fontanals/CSIC; Universitat de Barcelona; Societat Catalana de Musicologia; Museu d’Història de Barcelona; Biblioteca de Catalunya; Residència d’Investigadors CSIC-Generalitat de Catalunya; and the Royal Musical Association.

  • Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
    Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

Consequently current research efforts often seem to operate in the manner of archaeologi- cal excavations; at times it is only as one layer is painstakingly uncovered that the configurations of another are revealed. This was certainly the experience of this contribution, which began as an investigation into late fifteenth-century Italian instrumental prac- tices. The early phases of the Italian study involved sifting through many archival documents, and one initial miscellaneous impression was that German players frequently appeared in Italian ensembles. Pursuit of this almost casual observation led first to an awareness that German presence in Italy was substantial, then, further, to the fact that the oltramontanidominated aspects of instrumental music.

  • Revisiting the Origins of the Italian Madrigal Using Machine Learning
    Revisiting the Origins of the Italian Madrigal (with machine learning) Julie E. Cumming Cory McKay Medieval and Renaissance Music Conference Maynooth, Ireland, July 6, 2018 1 The origins of the madrigal Current consensus • The madrigal emerges as a new genre of Italian-texted vocal music in the 1520s • The Italian-texted works by Verdelot are madrigals • It originated in Florence (and Rome?) in the 1520s But where did it come from? • The frottola (Einstein 1949) • The chanson and motet (Fenlon and Haar 1988) • Florentine song: carnival song, and improvised solo song (A. Cummings 2004) 2 Finding the origins: what happened before Verdelot? • Verdelot arrived in Florence in 1521 • Earliest sources of the madrigal New focus: Florence, 1515-1522 Music Printsbefore Verdelot Thanks to I. Fenlon, J. Haar, and A. Cummings Naming of Genres: Canzona in 1520s; Madrigale 1530 Prints (in or near Rome) • Pisano, Musica sopra le Canzone del petrarcha (partbooks, Petrucci, Fossombrone, 1520) (all Madrigals) • Motetti e Canzone I (partbooks, Rome, 1520) • Libro primo de la croce, choirbook, c. 1522 (surviving copy, later ed., Rome, Pasoti & Dorico, 1526) • Mix of frottole, villotte, and madrigals 4 Music MSS before Verdelot Thanks to I. Fenlon, J. Haar, and A. Cummings Florentine Manuscripts (all from Florence) • Florence, Basevi 2440, choirbook, c. 1515-22; 2 sections: • music with multiple stanzas of text (frottole) • through-composed works (madrigals & villotte) • Florence, BNC 164-167, partbooks, c. 1520-22 (4 sections) • Florence 164 or F 164 henceforth 5 My hypothesis The madrigal was deliberately created as a • high-style genre of secular music • that emulates the style of the motet Why? • Musical sources • Texts • Musical style • Cultural context (not today) 6 What do sources tell us? Madrigals are the first secular genre to be treated like Latin-texted motets in prints and manuscripts Copied and printed in partbooks (previously used only for Masses and motets) • Motetti e Canzone I (Rome, 1520), partbooks • Florence 164 (c.
