Manuscripts And Performances In Religions Arts And Sciences

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Throughout history, manuscripts have been made and used for religious, artistic, and scientific performances, and this practice continues in most cultures today. By focusing on the role manuscripts have in different kinds of performances, this volume contributes to the evolving field of investigating written artefacts and their functions. The collected essays regard manuscripts as points of intersection where textual, material, and performative aspects converge. The contributors analyse manuscripts in their forms and functions as well as their positioning in the performances for which they were made. These aspects unfold across the volume's three sections, examining how manuscripts are (1) used backstage, for preparing and giving instructions for performances; (2) taken onstage, contributing to the enactment of performances; and (3) performers in their own right, producing an effect on the audience. The diversified, interdisciplinary, and innovative methodologies of the included papers carry great potential to expand the traditional approaches of manuscript studies and find application outside the contributors' respective fields.

Silent Music

BOOK EXCERPT:

This book shows the influence of medieval musical manuscripts on the articulation of national identity in Enlightenment Spain. For the eighteenth century Jesuit Andrés Marcos Burriel (1719-1762) and his associate the calligrapher Francisco Palomares (1728-1796), the notation that preserved the music of the past was a central source in the study of history.

Senza Vestimenta The Literary Tradition Of Trecento Song

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

The metaphor of marriage often describes the relationship between poetry and music in both medieval and modern writing. While the troubadours stand out for their tendency to blur the distinction between speaking and singing, between poetry and song, a certain degree of semantic slippage extends into the realm of Italian literature through the use of genre names like canzone, sonetto, and ballata. Yet, paradoxically, scholars have traditionally identified a 'divorce' between music and poetry as the defining feature of early Italian lyric. Senza Vestimenta reintegrates poetic and musical traditions in late medieval Italy through a fresh evaluation of more than fifty literary sources transmitting Trecento song texts. These manuscripts have been long noted by musicologists, but until now they have been used to bolster rather than to debunk the notion that so-called 'poesia per musica' was relegated to the margins of poetic production. Jennings revises this view by exploring how scribes and readers interacted with song as a fundamentally interdisciplinary art form within a broad range of literary settings. Her study sheds light on the broader cultural world surrounding the reception of the Italian ars nova repertoire by uncovering new, diverse readers ranging from wealthy merchants to modest artisans.

Cambridge Music Manuscripts 900 1700

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This volume marks the exhibition 'Cambridge Music Manuscripts, 900-1700', mounted in the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1982. It draws together fifty-three manuscripts of polyphony and monophony from the college and university libraries of Cambridge, all selected for their textual and historical importance. A full technical description of each source is followed by a critical appraisal, and in most cases at least one illustration is provided. Many of these manuscripts have never been adequately described in print, and this book will be a valuable work of reference for musicologists, historians and paleographers. Its plates will also provide a varied selection of transcription exercises for students of notation.

Medieval Music Codices

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Knjiga je predstavitev izbora tistih srednjeveških rokopisov v slovenskih knjižnicah ali arhivih, ki imajo glasbeni zapis. To so bodisi glasbeni kodeksi, ki so notirani od začetka do konca, fragmentarno ohranjeni glasbeni rokopisi ali zapisi glasbe v rokopisih, ki prvenstveno niso bili glasbene knjige. Glasba izbranih primerov pripada repertoarju srednjeveškega korala. Tako jo je treba pojmovati kot sestavni del nadnarodne srednjeveške latinske kulture, razširjene po vsej zahodni Evropi. Predstavljeni rokopisi so iz časovnega razdobja od 11. do 16. stoletja; izkazujejo zelo različne tipe srednjeveških glasbenih, nevmatskih pisav, ki niso zanimive le z glasbenega, ampak tudi likovnega stališča in pričajo o domala nepoznanem segmentu srednjeveške kulture in glasbene pismenosti na Slovenskem. Knjiga je opremljena s celostranskimi barvnimi reprodukcijami izvirnih rokopisov.
