  • Madrigal, Lauda, and Local Style in Trecento Florence
    Madrigal, Lauda, and Local Style in Trecento Florence BLAKE McD. WILSON I T he flowering of vernacular traditions in the arts of fourteenth-century Italy, as well as the phenomenal vitality of Italian music in later centuries, tempts us to scan the trecento for the earliest signs of distinctly Italianate styles of music. But while the 137 cultivation of indigenous poetic genres of madrigal and caccia, ac- corded polyphonic settings, seems to reflect Dante's exaltation of Italian vernacular poetry, the music itself presents us with a more culturally refracted view. At the chronological extremes of the four- teenth century, musical developments in trecento Italy appear to have been shaped by the more international traditions and tastes associated with courtly and scholastic milieux, which often combined to form a conduit for the influence of French artistic polyphony. During the latter third of the century both forces gained strength in Florentine society, and corresponding shifts among Italian patrons favored the importation of French literary and musical culture.' The cultivation of the polyphonic ballata after ca. 1370 by Landini and his contem- poraries was coupled with the adoption of three-part texture from French secular music, and the appropriation of certain French nota- tional procedures that facilitated a greater emphasis on syncopation, Volume XV * Number 2 * Spring 1997 The Journal of Musicology ? 1997 by the Regents of the University of California On the shift in patronage and musical style during the late trecento, see Michael P. Long, "Francesco Landini and the Florentine Cultural Elite," Early Music History 3 (1983), 83-99, and James Haar, Essays on Italian Poetry and Music in the Renaissance, 1350-1600 (Berkeley, CA, 1986), 22-36.

  • „Faccend'ognitoscan Di Te Tremare“: Resonanzen Politischer
    chapter 10 „Faccend’ogni Toscan di te tremare“: Resonanzen politischer Kontroversen in Florentiner Liedsätzen um 1400 Signe Rotter-Broman Zwischen 1300 und 1430 etabliert sich in Italien eine neue Form spätmittelalter- licher Liedkunst, die von Musikhistorikern gemeinhin als Kernrepertoire einer eigenständigen Epoche namens Trecento oder Ars nova Italiana verstanden wird.1 Das damit abgesteckte Repertoire besteht aus mehrstimmig, genauer: aus in zwei beziehungsweise drei Stimmen überlieferten weltlichen Liedsät- zen.2 Deren Texte wurden gezielt für die Vertonung verfasst; schon die Zeit- genossen verstanden diese Gedichte als Poesia per musica.3 Die primären poetisch-musikalischen Gattungen sind in der Spätphase des Trecento vor allem Madrigal und Ballata. Die musikalischen Quellen, mindestens sieben erhaltene, zum Teil umfangreiche Handschriften4 sowie eine erhebliche und durch jüngste Entdeckungen stetig anwachsende Zahl von Fragmenten, stam- men – bis auf eine Ausnahme – aus der Zeit um und nach 1400. Sie zeich- nen die Musik nach Tonhöhe und Rhythmus präzise in Mensuralnotation auf. Aufgrund der besagten Ausnahme, des erst in den 1920er Jahren entdeckten Codex Rossi (ca. 1350),5 konnte man die eigenständige Ausprägung dieser mehr- stimmigen Kompositionsweise schon für die Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts bele- gen. 1 Vgl.

    Le Ray au Soleyl Musica alla corte dei Visconti alla fine del XIV secolo B © fra bernardo,f Wien 2011 LE RAY AU SOLEYL Musica alla corte dei Visconti alla fine del XIV secolo «... quando un’anima riceve un’impressione di bellezza non sensibile non in modo astratto, ma attraverso un’impressione reale e diretta, come quella avvertita quando si percepisce un canto» Simone Weil «Il canto è un animale aereo» Marsilio Ficino Verso la CORTE Del CoNTE DI VIRTÙ, sulle orme DI PETrarCA Nell’ultimo trentennio del Trecento e nei primi anni del Quattrocento il medioevo splende come una foglia d’autunno che sta per cadere e rivela colori impredicibili e irripetibili poiché conseguenza della sua estate e non di altre. L’Ars nova sembra arrivare a una fase di incandescenza, di ebbrezza per gli incredibili conseguimenti notazionali, che si accompagnano a una perizia estrema nell’arte del contrappunto e a una padronanza dell’intenzione retorica che ancora oggi si è soliti concedere solo ad epoche assai posteriori. Eminente- mente in Francia e in Italia, fioriscono maestri che raffinano l’arte musicale conducendola a vette da cui è difficile immaginare di poter muovere un solo passo ulteriore. Essi infatti giungono alle soglie della modernità, si affacciano arditamente sul Tempo Nuovo, ma per morirvi quasi senza eredità. Le prime testimonianze che legano il nome dei Visconti alla musica e ai musicisti sono più antiche di qualche decennio rispetto a questa sta- gione ultima. Risalgono infatti al II quarto del XIV secolo e ai primi maestri dell’Ars nova italiana: in particolare a Maestro Piero, Giovanni da Cascia e Jacopo da Bologna.

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.

  • Les Délices Intoxicates with Rare 14Th-Century Music (Jan
    Les Délices intoxicates with rare 14th-century music (Jan. 14) by Daniel Hathaway The Cleveland-based period instrument ensemble Les Délices generally traffics in French Baroque music. That national repertoire overlays special mannerisms onto forms and harmonic progressions that are otherwise relatively familiar to our ears. But when Debra Nagy takes her colleagues and audiences back another three or four hundred years on an excursion into the French 14th century, we enter a musical world that operates under very different rules. On Sunday, challenging ears and expectations, Les Délices performed its program “Intoxicating,” featuring music by the well-known Guillaume de Machaut; the obscure composers Solage, Hasprois, Antonello de Caserta; and the ever-prolific Anonymous, to a capacity audience in Herr Chapel of Plymouth Church in Shaker Heights. In these pieces, text setting seems capricious rather than directly illustrative of the words. Musical phrases come in non-standard lengths, and harmonies meander rather than point toward clear musical goals. When the music does come to a halt at a cadence, it’s usually the result of the linear movement of melodic lines — often decked out with double leading tones. And sections and pieces end on unisons or open fifths without that middle note that signals major or minor in later music. But once you immerse yourself in the music and let it carry you along on its own itinerary, the experience is mesmerizing. Five excellent tour guides — soprano Elena Mullins, tenor Jason McStoots, and instrumentalists Scott Metcalfe, Charles Weaver, and Debra Nagy — led the journey through the program’s four sections with easy virtuosity.

  • Chapter 3: the Ars Nova: Musical Developments in the Fourteenth Century I. Early Fourteenth Century A. Introduction 1. Changes I
    Chapter 3: The Ars Nova: Musical Developments in the Fourteenth Century I. Early Fourteenth Century A. Introduction 1. Changes in notation in the thirteenth century allowed for musical experimentation in the early fourteenth century. 2. The evidence that tells us that fourteenth-century composers understood that they were doing something different can be found in two treatises: The Ars novae musicae by Jehan de Murs and the Ars nova by Philippe de Vitry. B. Music from Mathematics 1. During the fourteenth century, mathematics expanded beyond the boundaries previously seen in European thought. Music, the discipline so closely coupled with mathematics, followed suit. a. A fourfold system existed for musical time. Each of those listed is a subdivision of the previous: Maximodus, Modus, Tempus, and Prolatio. b. Each of these could be divided into two or three parts. 1) The first two are essentially theoretical concepts, and practical use resided in the latter two. 2) These possibilities yield, in modern terms: 9/8, 3/4; 6/8, 2/4. 2. Not everyone liked the innovations of the Ars nova. a. One example of disapproval is Jacobus de Liege’s Speculum musicae. 1) He dismissed the complexity and innovation as superfluous. C. Music about Music 1. Another new idea in the Ars nova concerns a growing realization of self- awareness as composers of art. 2. Music composition is seen as an art, not a craft. D. Establishing the Prototype: The Roman de Fauvel 1. The earliest surviving pieces in the Ars nova style are found in the Roman de Fauvel. a. Compiled around 1317, poem by Gervais du Bus, this manuscript includes 126 musical compositions (different genres).
