Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Renaissance composers write their music? In this revolutionary look at a subject that has fascinated scholars for years, musicologist Jessie Ann Owens offers new and striking evidence that contrary to accepted theory, sixteenth-century composers did not use scores to compose--even to write complex vocal polyphony. Drawing on sources that include contemporary theoretical treatises, documents and letters, iconographical evidence, actual fragments of composing slates, and numerous sketches, drafts, and corrected autograph manuscripts, Owens carefully reconstructs the step-by-step process by which composers between 1450 and 1600 composed their music. The manuscript evidence--autographs of more than thirty composers--shows the stages of work on a wide variety of music--instrumental and vocal, sacred and secular--from across most of Renaissance Europe. Her research demonstrates that instead of working in full score, Renaissance composers fashioned the music in parts, often working with brief segments, according to a linear conception. The importance of this discovery on editorial interpretation and on performance cannot be overstated. The book opens with a broad picture of what has been known about Renaissance composition. From there, Owens examines the teaching of composition and the ways in which musicians and composers both read and wrote music. She also considers evidence for composition that occurred independent of writing, such as composing "in the mind" or composing with instruments. In chapters on the manuscript evidence, she establishes a typology both of the sources themselves and of their contents (sketches, drafts, fair copies). She concludes with case studies detailing the working methods of Francesco Corteccia, Henricus Isaac, Cipriano de Rore, and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. This book will change the way we analyze and understand early music. Clear, provocative, and painstakingly researched, Composers at Work: The Craft of Musical Composition 1450-1600 makes essential reading for scholars of Renaissance music as well as those working in related fields such as sketch studies and music theory.

Book Early Printed Music and Material Culture in Central and Western Europe

Download or read book Early Printed Music and Material Culture in Central and Western Europe written by Andrea Lindmayr-Brandl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a varied and nuanced analysis of the dynamics of the printing, publication, and trade of music in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries across Western and Northern Europe. Chapters consider dimensions of music printing in Britain, the Holy Roman Empire, the Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy, showing how this area of inquiry can engage a wide range of cultural, historical and theoretical issues. From the economic consequences of the international book trade to the history of women music printers, the contributors explore the nuances of the interrelation between the materiality of print music and cultural, aesthetic, religious, legal, gender and economic history. Engaging with the theoretical turns in the humanities towards material culture, mobility studies and digital research, this book offers a wealth of new insights that will be relevant to researchers of early modern music and early print culture alike.

Book Songs of the Women Trouv  res

Download or read book Songs of the Women Trouv res written by Eglal Doss-Quinby and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking anthology brings together for the first time the works of women poet-composers, or trouveres, in northern France in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Refuting the long-held notion that there are no extant Old French lyrics by women from this period, the editors of the volume present songs attributed to eight named female trouveres along with a varied selection of anonymous compositions in the feminine voice that may have been composed by women. The book includes the Old French texts of seventy-five compositions, extant music for eighteen monophonic songs and nineteen polyphonic motets, English translations, and a substantial introduction.

Book Quomodo Cantabimus Canticum

    Book Details:
  • Author : David Butler Cannata
  • Publisher : American Institute of Musicology, Gmbh
  • Release : 2008
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 304 pages

Download or read book Quomodo Cantabimus Canticum written by David Butler Cannata and published by American Institute of Musicology, Gmbh. This book was released on 2008 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward Roesner forged a career in musicology that placed him at the forefront of the discipline. This collection of thirteen essays entitled Quomodo Cantabimus Canticum? taking its name from an important motet text in the Roman de Fauvel, and written and edited by a group of scholar friends and students, honors not only his rigorous scholarship but also the breadth of his interest and learning. Starting with Leofranc Holford-Strevens' rationale of how Roesner, as Gustave Reese's protégée and successor, had no choice but to be a Medievalist, Gabriela Ilnitchi Currie's discussion of Eriugenian song, and Susan Rankin's exposé on the making of Carolingian chant books, the anthology traverses a wide continuum of argument all of which underscores Roesner's particular interests--liturgy, chant, polyphony, authenticity, the dissemination of texts and ideas over the centuries, and things Parisian. Andreas Haug brings new perspectives to bear on Notker's Preface; and following Roesner's interest in all aspects of the Medieval and Renaissance eras, today's leading scholars--Rebecca Baltzer, Margaret Bent, Bonnie Blackburn, Susan Boynton, Michel Huglo, Karl Kügle, and Joshua Rifkin--reexamine previously accepted notions of time and space, terminology, and transmission within previously "explicit" texts and tropes. The collection comes full circle with Linda Correll Roesner's discussion of a Clara Schumann letter (Reese's wedding gift to the Roesner couple), and a return to Paris with David Cannata's investigation of Messiaen as Thomistic Christologist. The editors were resolute that Roesner provide his own bibliography! With every sentence, Quomodo Cantabimus Canticum? Essays in Honor of Edward H. Roesner, a compilation that can only begin to plumb Roesner's facility and relentless pursuit of precision in all areas of academic investigation, marvels "How Can We Sing the Song?"
