Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning a millennium of musical history, this monumental volume brings together nearly forty leading authorities to survey the music of Western Europe in the Middle Ages. All of the major aspects of medieval music are considered, making use of the latest research and thinking to discuss everything from the earliest genres of chant, through the music of the liturgy, to the riches of the vernacular song of the trouvères and troubadours. Alongside this account of the core repertory of monophony, The Cambridge History of Medieval Music tells the story of the birth of polyphonic music, and studies the genres of organum, conductus, motet and polyphonic song. Key composers of the period are introduced, such as Leoninus, Perotinus, Adam de la Halle, Philippe de Vitry and Guillaume de Machaut, and other chapters examine topics ranging from musical theory and performance to institutions, culture and collections.

Download or read book Ethelwold and Medieval Music drama at Winchester written by George B. Bryan and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1981 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval drama has been the subject of more intensive scholarly examination within the past decade than at any other time since its origin. In this book, the original medieval drama, the «Visitatio Sepulchri» of the «Regularis Concordia» and the «Winchester Troper» is delineated in terms of the environment in which it was created: the Monastic Revival of tenth-century England. The Easter music-drama is seen in the context of medieval English society, continental monastic reformation, liturgical practices, the fine arts, and learning. The writer concludes that the author of the «Visitatio Sepulchri» was Ethelwold, Bishop of Winchester, who at some time between 950 and 970 formulated the music-drama, drawing from secular theatrical conditions and adapting them to contemporary liturgical and devotional requirements. He presented his creation to the English monastic community as an act of worship, not as a separate dramatic entity but as a vital part of the extended ritual of Holy Week. Hence the music-drama must be studied in terms of music and liturgy as well as its literary text; failure to do so diminishes its dramatic magnitude and its powers of exciting worshipful awe of the transcendental reality of the Resurrection.

Download or read book Medieval Music Drama written by Wyndham Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-11-28 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2018 will mark the 800th anniversary of the consecration of the Abbey of St Benoît-sur-Loire - or Fleury Abbey - the previous home and namesake of the Fleury Playbook, a collection of 10 medieval music-dramas that has long held been a source of fascination, and not a little perplexity, for scholars in a variety of disciplines: history, music history, literary studies, art history in particular. The Fleury Playbook has been justly celebrated as the most comprehensive extant collection of medieval music-dramas, containing in a single manuscript examples of non-biblical miracle plays, and settings of the Nativity and Resurrection stories, together with accounts of the conversion of Paul and Mary Magdalene. In this the first full-length monograph on the Playbook, Wyndham Thomas places the collection in its historical, cultural and musical context. The first three chapters introduce and then explore the issues raised by the collection: following an introduction, chapter 2 is devoted to the history and traditions of the Abbey, making a persuasive argument for that institution as the original home of the collection, and perhaps the venue in which the plays were first performed. Chapter 3 discusses medieval saintsâe(tm) cults, placing the dramas, and particularly the four devoted to St Nicholas, in this context. The remaining chapters are devoted to a close musical and dramatic analysis of the 10 plays themselves.

Download or read book Liturgical Drama and the Reimagining of Medieval Theater written by Michael Norton and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 2017-08-31 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expression "liturgical drama" was formulated in 1834 as a metaphor and hardened into formal category only later in the nineteenth century. Prior to this invention, the medieval rites and representations that would forge the category were understood as distinct and unrelated classes: as liturgical rites no longer celebrated or as theatrical works of dubious quality. This ground-breaking work examines "liturgical drama" according to the contexts of their presentations within the manuscripts and books that preserve them.
