FAB-Musiconis Indexing Workshops New York April-May 2019 Music and Metadata: The Musiconis Database and FAB-Musiconis Project Susan Boynton, Department of Music (Columbia University) Musiconis (http://musiconis.huma-num.fr/en/) is a metabase that analyzes medieval visual representations of musical performances (instrumental musicians, singers, and dancers) in art from the 8th to the 16th century imported from existing databases, with the addition of music-related metadata. Musiconis came out of a long-term project that involved both music historians and art historians. In 2016, Columbia joined the Paris team for FAB-Musiconis, a three-year transatlantic exchange involving graduate students and faculty. Graduate student participants learned how to create and edit records in the Musiconis metabase; an engineer improved functionality in real time during working sessions. The Columbia University Libraries supported the project through excellent seminars on metadata, digital humanities seminars, guidance on learning outcomes, and access to spaces and collections. “Representation of Sound and Music in the Middle Ages” (2011-15, Paris) collaborative project supported by the French National Research Agency Fundamental objectives 1 / creation of a meta-database of images representing medieval music 2 / conceptualization of theoretical tools for a new indexing model, starting point for research on the subject of the representation of the sound, and the place and function of sound in Medieval culture Musiconis: Representation of Sound and Music in the Middle Ages Original indexing system 1. Import basic information extracted from partner databases: Location, date, century, url, technique, material, accession number, etc. 2. Add musicological & iconological elements: ● A / Organology, playing and singing techniques ● B / Analogies and sound characteristics, as a result of iconographic analysis (symbolic interpretation of images rooted in earlier studies and articulated with the results of the research team). Musiconis now includes 2200 performances in which are analyzed more than 2300 musicians and 2700 instruments (from 58 separate instruments belonging to 4 families).

  • The Trecento Lute
    UC Irvine UC Irvine Previously Published Works Title The Trecento Lute Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1kh2f9kn Author Minamino, Hiroyuki Publication Date 2019 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 4.0 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California The Trecento Lute1 Hiroyuki Minamino ABSTRACT From the initial stage of its cultivation in Italy in the late thirteenth century, the lute was regarded as a noble instrument among various types of the trecento musical instruments, favored by both the upper-class amateurs and professional court giullari, participated in the ensemble of other bas instruments such as the fiddle or gittern, accompanied the singers, and provided music for the dancers. 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.

Morris dancing is always (or almost always) performed with live music. This means that musicians are an essential part of any morris team. If you are reading this document, it is probably because you are a musician (or potential musician) for a morris dance team. Good morris musicians are not always easy to find. In the words of Jinky Wells (1868– 1953), the great Bampton dancer and fiddler: .

First of all, I would like to take the opportunity to offer deep thanks to my supervisor Prof. Bill Brunson whose wonderful lessons I will never forget, for the kind support, the probing questions, and the helpfulness shown in many occasions. Secondly, I express my gratitude to professors Lars Ekström, Christofer Elgh, and Karin Rehnqvist who, in their composition lessons, were able to instill in me a love for the subjects they taught me. I am also grateful to all the staff of KMH which I interacted with, in particular the professors of the Departments of Composition, Conducting and Music Theory as well as of Folk Music. I also want to express my gratitude to Saverio Santoni whose advises about orchestration I have treasured a lot, as well as to Anna Einarsson for the precious comments about this thesis. I wish to thank the musicians of the KammarensembleN and the director Niklas Tamm who have been the first to perform in concert my composition “The Integrated Consciousness”. Last but not least, I would like to thank all the students I met at the KMH Royal College of Music of Stockholm, a list that would be much too long to include here, for providing a stimulating and fun environment in which to learn and grow.

  • 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.
