Book excerpt: The motet cycles known as motetti missales are among the most intriguing repertoires of late-fifteenth-century polyphony. This series features a new critical edition of the six cycles by Loyset Compère, Gaspar van Weerbeke, and Franchinus Gaffurius included in the Milanese Libroni and of the two anonymous cycles transmitted in the Leopold Codex (Munich MS 3154). For the first time this corpus is presented with uniform editorial criteria, facilitating the comparison of mensural choices and other compositional strategies. Furthermore, the introduction of each volume thematizes the peculiar characteristics of each cycle, in terms of textual choices, use of preexisting material, and musical design, allowing for a new assessment of the motetti missales that goes beyond the homogenizing stereotypes of earlier literature and accounts for the individual contributions of the various composers. The editors’ insight in this repertoire is the result of two interdisciplinary research projects financed by the Swiss National Fund and carried out at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in 2014–21. The anonymous motet cycle Ave, Domine Iesu Christe, transmitted uniquely in Librone 1 of the Milanese Libroni, consists of eight motets for four and five voices on Christological texts; the first four, each of which begins with the words “Ave, Domine Iesu Christe,” take their text from a prayer to Christ popular in contemporary prayer books. Despite the anonymous transmission, several notable stylistic features of the cycle—including use of the technique of “split tenors”—suggest a possible attribution to Loyset Compère (ca. 1450–1518). All eight motets bear loco rubrics indicating their placement in the mass liturgy.

The motet cycle Ave, virgo gloriosa by Loyset Compère (ca. 1450–1518), consisting of eight five-voice motets on assorted Marian texts, is preserved in full in Librone 3 of the Milanese Libroni (Gaffurius Codices), with three motets also transmitted in Librone 1. The cycle appears with the title or rubric “Galeazescha” in Librone 3, raising the possibility of a connection to the court of Galeazzo Maria Sforza (1444–76). All eight motets bear loco rubrics indicating their placement in the mass liturgy.

The cycle Hodie nobis de virgine by Loyset Compère (ca. 1450–1518) consists of eight four-voice motets on assorted Christmas texts, making it the only of Compère’s motet cycles to center clearly on a specific occasion of the liturgical year. All eight motets are preserved uniquely in Librone 1 of the Milanese Libroni (Gaffurius Codices) and bear loco rubrics indicating their placement in the mass liturgy.

The cycle Ave, mundi domina by Gaspar van Weerbeke (ca. 1452–1517) consists of eight four-voice motets on assorted Marian texts. All eight motets are preserved in Librone 1 of the Milanese Libroni (Gaffurius Codices), with two also appearing in Librone 2. Of all the surviving motetti missales cycles, Ave, mundi domina is the only cycle whose component motets can also be found in sources from outside Milan; particularly notable in this regard is its fourth motet, “Anima mea liquefacta est,” on a highly expressive text from the Song of Songs, which with seven concordant sources is not only the single most transmitted motet within the motetti missales repertory but also in Weerbeke’s entire output.

Download or read book Early Music History written by Iain Fenlon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-19 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Music History is devoted to the study of music from the early Middle Ages to the end of the seventeenth century. It demands the highest standards of scholarship from its contributors, all of whom are leading academics in their fields. It gives preference to studies pursuing interdisciplinary approaches and to those developing novel methodological ideas. The scope is exceptionally broad and includes manuscript studies, textual criticism, iconography, studies of the relationship between words and music and the relationship between music and society. Articles in volume fifteen include: Costanzo Festa's Gradus ad Parnassum; Scenes from the life of Silvia Galiarti Manni, a seventeenth-century virtuosa; Galeazzo Maria Sforza and musical patronage in Milan: Compere, Weerbeke and Josquin.

The editors’ insight in this repertoire is the result of two interdisciplinary research projects financed by the Swiss National Fund and carried out at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in 2014–21. Of the six motetti missales cycles in the Milanese Libroni, which were copied under the supervision of Franchinus Gaffurius (1451–1522), only the cycle Salve, mater Salvatoris was composed by Gaffurius himself. Unlike the other five motetti missales cycles in the Libroni, Salve, mater Salvatoris consists not of eight motets but only four, each with two to three internal subsections. Also distinct among the motetti missales cycles is Gaffurius’s choice of texts, which, though still on Marian themes, are not centones but adaptations of two twelfth-century sequences with interpolations from the Litany of Loreto.

The cycle Quam pulchra es by Gaspar van Weerbeke (ca. 1452–1517) consists of eight four-voice motets on centonate Marian texts. Among the motetti missales cycles, it boasts not only the most concordances within the Milanese Libroni but is also the only one whose motets were copied in Librone [4], the latest of these codices. So far, none of the motets of this cycle has been found in other contemporaneous sources, suggesting a particular connection between this cycle and Milan.

The editors’ insight in this repertoire is the result of two interdisciplinary research projects financed by the Swiss National Fund and carried out at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in 2014–21. Although most known motetti missales cycles appear within the Milanese Libroni, two unique anonymous cycles appear together in Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Mus. Ms. 3154 (the Leopold Codex), a source evidently compiled in Innsbruck. The cycle Natus sapientia, like the Milanese motetti missales cycles, consists of eight motets, but with texts focusing on the crucifixion of Jesus rather than Marian themes. This edition improves upon previously published versions by providing full text underlay for all voices and correcting apparent mistakes while retaining the unusual dissonances that characterize this cycle.

Download or read book Music and Patronage in the Sforza Court written by Paul Merkley and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The core of this history involves the enormous number of documents on musicians and musical patronage recovered in Milanese archives and elsewhere during the course of our research. This evidence bears on the performing organizations of the court chapel and the biscantori of the Duomo, polyphonic sources of both sacred and secular music, the monophonic observance of the liturgy, the recruitment of singers, circumstances and working conditions, requirements of clients, demands and preferences of patrons, the tangled process of the procurement of benefices, jailing, and even espionage. It pertains to the biographies and activities of musicians, including the most influential composer of the late fifteenth century, Josquin Desprez, who we know lived and worked in Milan for more than twenty years, including the entire period of Duke Galeazzo Sforza's renowned chapel of Franco-Flemish singers, one that contained the most illustrious musicians in Europe. Within the chapel a new genre of music was cultivated and musical works that exemplified the high renaissance period were composed and performed. Later, under Ludovico Sforza, Franchino Gafori wrote several theory treatises and compiled polyphonic sources of great importance. Findings in the documents have necessitated a re-evaluation of all three, including the revision of dates for a substantial part of the repertory. All historians are familiar with the long and well established tradition in which the Medici and the city of Florence have been cast as the vanguard of modernism. Although no one would wish to detract from the brilliant history of Florence, recently it has been argued that Milan was the first city state to develop modern government (along with its bureaucracy), and diplomacy, both of which pertain directly to the musicians and music of this study.

Download or read book Crossing Boundaries written by Sally McKee and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays collected here have in common the concept of boundaries, which is defined according to discipline, and movement through boundaries. The essays cover a range of topics and periods. The first section consists of literary approaches to boundaries, ranging widely in subject matter from Norman drama to sixteenth-century goodnight ballads. The second section includes mainly historical studies of such topics as social mobility in Geoffrey of Monmouth's twelfth-century History of the Kings of Britain, post-1453 Byzantine identity, and Milanese Renaissance musical genres. Individually and as a group, the essays contribute fresh insights into well-known and some less familiar works of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Contributions include: Linda Georgianna, 'Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia regum Britanniae: lessons in self-fashioning for the bastards of Britain'; Robert L.A. Clark, 'Eve and her audience in the Anglo-Norman Adam'; John Damon, 'Seinte Cecile and Cristes owene knyghtes: violence, resignation, and resistance in the Second Nun's Tale'; Elaine R. Miller, 'Linguistic identity in the Middle Ages: the case of the Spanish Jews'; Emily Steiner, 'Medieval documentary poetics and Langland's authorial identity'; Patricia Marby Harrison, 'Religious rhetoric as resistance in Early Modern goodnight ballads'; Jami Ake, 'Mary Wroth's willow poetics: revising female desire in Pamphilia to Amphilanthus'; Annabel Patterson, 'The human face divine: identity and the portrait from Locke to Chaucer'; Jonathan Harris, 'Common language and the common good: aspects of identity among Byzantine emigres in Renaissance Italy'; Nolan Gasser, 'Beata et venerabilis Virgo: music and devotion in Renaissance Milan'; Elspeth Whitney, 'Sex, lies, and depositions: Pierre de Lancre's vision of the witches' sabbath'; Laura Hunt Yungblut, 'Straungers and aliaunts: the un-English among the English in Elizabethan England'.
