Download or read book Symbolic Scores written by Willem Elders and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2024-01-08 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symbolic Scores is the first monograph on Renaissance music devoted to discussing more than 150 compositions which involve symbolism inspired by ideas and themes inherent in the musical culture of the time. The introduction describes the historical and theoretical premises of the use of the terms 'allegory', 'sign', and 'symbol', and goes into the aspect of number symbolism as well as the aims, limits, and principles of musico-symbolical analysis. Other studies concentrate on Dufay and Josquin, deal with the symbolical application of soggetto ostinato and canon technique, or treat such themes as music for the dead and the Holy Virgin. The final study is about the conception of heavenly music and musical composition. Symbolic Scores is finely illustrated and includes musical examples, and indices of compositions and names.

Download or read book Music in the Renaissance written by Richard Freedman and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Like the other volumes in the series, Music in the Renaissance brings a fresh perspective to the study of music by emphasizing social, cultural, intellectual, and political contexts of the music. Richard Freedman looks far beyond the notes on the page or the details of composers’ lives to embrace audiences, performers, institutions, and social settings. For example, the text shows how new technologies of music printing in the Renaissance permitted composers to align notation with sound, causing audiences accustomed to aural transmission to rethink the concept of a musical work."--Résumé du site web de l'éditeur.
Download or read book Ars Nova and the Renaissance 1300 1540 written by Anselm Hughes and published by . This book was released on 1960 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an entirely new work, and replaces the Oxford History of Music, which first appeared over fifty years ago. It has been planned as a complete survey of music from the earliest times down to the present day, including not only the achievements of the Western world but also the contributions made by Eastern civilizations and primitive societies. The subject matter in Volume Three stretches from the introduction of the Ars Nova at the beginning of the fourteenth century to the full flood of renaissance music in the mid-sixteenth century. For the first time there emerge named composers with an undisputed corpus of surviving works: Machaut, Landini, Dunstable, Dufay, Ockeghem, Josquin, and many others of lesser fame. Polyphony grows steadily more mature and organic, and keyboard music begins to appear in recognizably distinct forms. Many of the works composed during this period are still regularly performed, and apart from its value to specialists the volume should provide interesting and illuminating reading for all who take pleasure in the music of an age remarkable not only for promise but also for achievement.
