Download or read book Material Cultures of Music Notation written by Floris Schuiling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Material Cultures of Music Notation brings together a collection of essays that explore a fundamental question in the current landscape of musicology: how can writing and reading music be understood as concrete, material practices in a wider cultural context? Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches from musicology, media studies, performance studies, and more, the chapters in this volume offer a wide array of new perspectives that foreground the materiality of music notation. From digital scores to the transmission of manuscripts in the Middle Ages, the volume deliberately disrupts boundaries of discipline, historical period, genre, and tradition, by approaching notation's materiality through four key interrelated themes: knowledge, the body, social relations, and technology. Together, the chapters capture vital new work in an essential emerging area of scholarship.

Download or read book Palaeobyzantine Notations 3 written by Gerda Wolfram and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der vorliegende Band als Ergebnis einer Tagung von Musikologen und Byzantinisten in Schloss Hernen/NL, beleuchtet verschiedene Aspekte des byzantinischen und des daraus entsprungenen slavischen Kirchengesangs. Zwei grosse Themenkreise stehen im Vordergrund: Notation und Melismatik, daneben beleuchten Beitrage zur Liturgie, zur Modalitat der Gesange und zur oralen Uberlieferung die byzantinische und slavische Tradition. Es ist wichtig, musikalische und liturgische Erscheinungsbilder der byzantinischen und slavischen Spatzeit nicht losgelost von der fruhen Tradition zu untersuchen, sondern die Wurzeln ihrer Entstehung stets im Auge zu behalten. Hierin stellt die Entwicklung der verschiedenen Notationssysteme die Basis fur jede weitere Untersuchung dar. In der liturgischen Musik der Hagia Sophia von Konstantinopel entstanden bereits im 8.-10. Jahrhundert melismatische Gesange, wahrend im monastischen Ritus einfache Melodien vorherrschten. Die Verschmelzung von Kathedral- und monastischer Tradition schuf eine neue Basis fur die Entstehung einer hochmelismatischen Gesangform, der Kalophonie. Basierend auf der byzantinischen Gesangtradition sind auch im slavischen Raum bereits ab dem 11. Jahrhundert melismatische Gesange uberliefert, die auf die ornamentierten Melodien der russischen Kirchenmusik des 15.-17. Jahrhunderts Einfluss hatten. Ein bedeutender Aspekt ist die Berucksichtigung der oralen Tradition, die durch alle Zeiten ein tragendes Element in der Uberlieferung der Gesange war.
