Thanks to the AHRI3 for their financial support over the last two years of this thesis, and to York University for their award of a part-time bursary. A number of libraries and staff deservemy thanks and frequently my apologies! They are the JI3 Morrell and King's Manor libraries at York (especially the Inter-Library Loan department), the Brother-ton at Leeds, York Minster library, Cambridge University library and the Rupert Brooke archive at King's College, Cambridge. Unlike the above, Stanbrook Abbey does not exist for the benefit of scholars:I would therefore like to expressmy particular gratitude to the community, and especiallyto Sister Philippa Edwards and Dame Felicitas Corrigan, for the generous hospitality they extendedto me during my study of Helen Waddell's papers. I would like to thank Paul Hardwick for permissionto quote his unpublishedpaper, and for all his help and guidancein the running of the 'medievalism'xesearch group at York.

Lastly, my thanks and love go to my husband Alex for his share in three years of 'interesting times'. Long may they continue to be so. iv ABSTRACT This thesis discussesinterpretations of goliardic poetry, in particular the manuscript coRectionknown as Carmina Burana, between 1884 and 1930. The Introduction to the thesis discussesthe different approachesand methodology available to the scholar in the field of medievalism, and explains how this study relatesto them. Chapter I discussesgoliardic poetry in its original context, and explores a number of themes in the poetry which were to be taken up by its later interpreters. It also addressesthe question of the goliards' identities, describing and evaluating some of the theorieswhich critics have proposed. Chapter 2 explores the development of a new kind of medievalism in the late nineteenthcentury, deliberately opposed to the more familiar 'chivalric' medievalism of writers like Tennyson.It then goes on to discussthe relationship of John Addington Symonds' Wine, Womenand Song to this form of medievalism. Chapter 3 deals with some possible links between the poetry of Rupert Brooke and goliardic lyrics. It also explores the developmentof Brooke's self-image, suggesting that Helen Waddell might have drawn on his posthumous myth when writing The WanderingScholars. Chapter 4 looks at Waddell's The WanderingScholars in the context of the collective mourning for the dead of World War 1, and the growth of the 'Lost Generation' myth. It suggeststhat Waddell made imaginative links between the young men of the 'Lost Generation' and the twelfth century goliard poets. Chapter 5 offers an overview of post-1927 translations of goliardic poetry, and containsa brief discussionof Carl Orffs 1937 cantataCarmina Burana. V INTRODUCTION In 1884, John Addington Symonds wrote diffidently that: 'When I look back upon my own work, and formulate the impression left upon my own mind by familiarity with the songs which I have translated, the doubt occurs whether some apology be not required for having draggedthese forth from antiquarianobscurity. ' I It must occur to the reader of this thesis that some explanation,at the very least, may also be required for the even more dubious enterpriseon which it embarks- not merely a study of obscure goliardic poems, but, as it were, a second-hand study of them - the study of other writers' interpretationsof the goliard poets in the nineteenthand twentieth centuries. The initial justification for dragging forth Symonds' Wine, Womenand Song and even Helen Waddell's much better known The Mandering Scholars must lie in an understanding of the different possibilities wWch medievalism (by wWch I mean the study of post-medieval interpretations of literature, history and culture) has offered to the scholar in recent years. 1. MethodolgW Two main approacheshave been used by scholarsin what is still a relatively new and developing field of study. The first, discussedbelow, is an older and perhaps more straightforward approach.It is in an exploration of the secondmethodology ' John Addington Syrnorids,Wine, Womenand Song: Medieval Latin Students'Songs nowfirst translated into English verse Kith an essayby JohnAddington Symonds(London: Chatto and Windus, 1907: first edition 1884), p. 190 1) that we can see how much is to be gained from its application to a study of 'medievalist' versionsof the goliards. The first approachis concernedwith the achievementsof individual authors, with the means by which they have transformed a medieval original into a modem text,,and with the artistic merits of the results. Although most studies of this kind place the author's work in the context of contemporarymedievalism, the writer's main concern is not to discussthe social and cultural factors which might have led to the author's choice of source material, but rather to examinethe merits of what they produced having chosen it. The context into which the work is placed is often a biographical,rather than a historical or cultural one. A recent study which utilises this methodology is Elisabeth Brewer's book on T. H. White's Arthurian tetralogy, The Once and Future King. Beginning her work with a brief biography of White, Brewer goes on to remark in her introductory chapterthat: The Once and Future King is probably the last major retelling of the story based on Malory, set in the Middle Ages and in the chivalric tradition... None has so lovingly and minutely evoked the medieval scene,or so painstakinglyendeavoured to interpret Le Morte dArthur for his contemporaries,showing us not only how Arthur's tragedy unfolded, but also endeavouring to bridge the gap between medieval ways of thinking and our own. ' Brewer's main aim in studying VA-dte is to assess the artistic merit of his transformed version of the Arthurian story, exploring in passing how accessible he makes the medieval material to modem readers. Throughout, her approaches are twofold: comparative and biographical. Large parts of the study compare the book to its major medieval source, Malory, discussing the points of similarity 1 Brewer, Elisabeth, TH. nite's 7he Once and FutureUng (Cambridge: DS Brewer, 1993), p. 18 3 and divergence,and assessingwhether the changeshave proved to be successful or otherwise. In the chapter ')White and Malory', Brewer offers a detailed comparison of the two authors. She draws attention, for example, to the fundmentally different interpretation which the two place on the Arthurian story: Malory sees the downfall of the Round Table as a political, institutional tragedy, while )Whiteis drawn to seethe relationshipsbetween Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot, and between Arthur and Mordred, as lying at the heart of the tragedy. She further draws our attention to issues such as VMte's infusion of Malory's entirely seriousstory with a consistentelement of comedy'. The major part of the book, then, is a study of the ways in which White has transformed Malory and made a perhaps inaccessible medieval text into a popular modem novel. As Brewer writes: The S;vord in the Stone can dissolve the prejudices of those who believe that the medieval is dull, remote and irrelevant, as it creates interest in the Arthurian charactersand draws the reader into the story, even if it does not presenta veraciouspicture of medieval life.2 The qualities of the transformation, however, are seen as dependenton White himself, rather than on the cultural milieu in which he wrote, and this leadson to the secondimportant element in the study - biography. Accounting for important themes in The Once and Future King, Brewer refers frequently to White's fife and.,in particular, to his relationship with his mother. In his characterisationof Guinevere, and even more so, of Morgause, she argues that WWte's difficult relationship with his mother was highly influentia.13. Elsewhere, she suggests that: ' Brewer, Yhe Once and RutureUng, pp. 207 - 225 passim 2 Ibid, p.207 3 lbid, p.55 4 His genuine and sympatheticinterest in young boys, and his life- long passion for both learning and teaching led him readily to cast himself as tutor in the shapeof Merlyn'.

  • Carmina Burana Carl Orff (1895–1982) Composed: 1935–1936 Style: Contemporary Duration: 58 Minutes
    Carmina Burana Carl Orff (1895–1982) Composed: 1935–1936 Style: Contemporary Duration: 58 minutes The Latin title of tonight’s major work, translated literally as “Songs of Beuren,” comes from the Abby of Benediktbeuren where a book of poems was discovered in 1803. The Abbey is located about 30 miles south of Munich, where the composer Carl Orff was born, educated, and spent most of his life. The 13th century book contains roughly 200 secular poems that describe medieval times. The poems, written by wandering scholars and clerics known as Goliards, attack and satirize the hypocrisy of the Church while praising the self-indulgent virtues of love, food, and drink. Their language and form often parody liturgical phrases and conventions. Similarly, Orff often uses the styles and conventions of 13th century church music, most notably plainchant, to give an air of seriousness and reverence to the texts that their actual meaning could hardly demand. In addition to plainchant, however, the eclectic musical material relies upon all kinds of historical antecedents— from flamenco rhythms (no. 17, “Stetit puella”) to operatic arias (no. 21, “Intrutina”) to chorale texture (no. 24, “Ave formosissima”). The 24 poems that compose Carmina Burana are divided into three large sections— “Springtime,” “In the Tavern,” and “Court of Love” —plus a prologue and epilogue. The work begins with the chorus “Fortuna imperatrix mundi,” (“Fortune, Empress of the World”), which bemoans humankind’s helplessness in the face of the fickle wheel of fate. “Rising first, then declining, hateful life treats us badly, then with kindness, making sport of our desires.” After a brief morality tale, “Fortune plango vunera,” the “Springtime” section begins.

  • Introitus: the Entrance Chant of the Mass in the Roman Rite
    Introitus: The Entrance Chant of the mass in the Roman Rite The Introit (introitus in Latin) is the proper chant which begins the Roman rite Mass. There is a unique introit with its own proper text for each Sunday and feast day of the Roman liturgy. The introit is essentially an antiphon or refrain sung by a choir, with psalm verses sung by one or more cantors or by the entire choir. Like all Gregorian chant, the introit is in Latin, sung in unison, and with texts from the Bible, predominantly from the Psalter. The introits are found in the chant book with all the Mass propers, the Graduale Romanum, which was published in 1974 for the liturgy as reformed by the Second Vatican Council. (Nearly all the introit chants are in the same place as before the reform.) Some other chant genres (e.g. the gradual) are formulaic, but the introits are not. Rather, each introit antiphon is a very unique composition with its own character. Tradition has claimed that Pope St. Gregory the Great (d.604) ordered and arranged all the chant propers, and Gregorian chant takes its very name from the great pope. But it seems likely that the proper antiphons including the introit were selected and set a bit later in the seventh century under one of Gregory’s successors. They were sung for papal liturgies by the pope’s choir, which consisted of deacons and choirboys. The melodies then spread from Rome northward throughout Europe by musical missionaries who knew all the melodies for the entire church year by heart.

  • Carl Orff Carmina Burana (1937)
    CARL ORFF CARMINA BURANA (1937) CARL ORFF CARMINA BURANA (1937) CARMINA: Plural of Carmen, Latin for song. BURANA: Latin for, from Bayern, Bavaria. CANTATA VERSUS ORATORIO: Ø Cantata: A sacred or secular work for chorus and orchestra. Ø Oratorio: An opera without scenery or costumes. THE MUSIC: Ø A collection of 24 songs, most in Latin, some in Middle High German, with a few French words. THE SPECTACLE: Ø Seventy piece orchestra. Ø Large chorus of men, women and boys and girls. Ø Three soloists: tenor, baritone and soprano. THE POETRY: Ø The Medieval Latin poetry of Carmina Burana is in a style called Saturnian that dates back to 200 B.C. It was accented and stressed, used by soldiers on the march, tavern patrons and children at play. Later used by early Christians. Ø While the poems are secular, some are hymn-like. Orff’s arrangements highlight this. Ø The poems were composed by 13th century Goliards, Medieval itinerant street poets who lived by their wits, going from town to town, entertaining people for a few coins. Many were ex monks or university drop-outs. Ø Common Goliard themes include disaffection with society, mockery of the church, carnal desire and love. Ø Benedictine monks in a Bavarian monastery, founded in 733 in Beuern, in the Alps south of Munich, collected these Goliardic poems. Ø After the dissolution of the monastery in 1803, some two hundred of these poems were published in 1847 by Andreas Schmeller, a dialect scholar, in an anthology that he labeled Carmina Burana. Ø Orff discovered these in 1935 and, with the help of the poet Michael Hoffman, organized twenty-four poems from the collection into a libretto by the same name.

As well as recording and performing music by composers such as Pérotin, Dufay, Josquin and Bach the ensemble has been involved in the creation of a large number of new works. James PÉROTIN MacMillan, Heinz Holliger, Arvo Pärt, Steven Hartke and many other composers have written both large and the and small-scale pieces for them. The ensemble’s performances ARS frequently include collaborations with other musicians such as the saxophonist Jan Garbarek, violinist ANTIQUA Christoph Poppen, violist Kim Kashkashian and orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra. John Potter’s contribution was crucial to getting the Hilliard Live project under way. John has since left to take up a post in the Music Department of York University.
