This volume
unites eleven essays in four languages, selected among papers first
presented at the International Symposia in Late Medieval and
Renaissance Music held at Kloster Neustift/ Novacella, South Tyrol, in
1997 and 2000. Their common thread is the exploration of borders and
borderline areas in music of the fourteenth and early fifteenth
century. The authors, all acknowledged scholars in their field, hail
from countries and scholarly traditions as diverse as Israel, Greece,
Italy, Spain, Germany, Great Britain and the United States.
Christian
Berger explores the differentiation between French and Italian styles
in early fifteenth-century music, while Alice V. Clark probes the
musical patronage of a ‘black sheep’ in the house of Valois, Duke
Louis I of Anjou (1339–84). Francesco Facchin casts light on
music-related images from late medieval Padua. Maricarmen Gómez
examines a little-studied cantorale from Palma de Mallorca. Irmgard
Lerch-Kalavrytinos introduces a recently discovered fragment with Ars
Nova motets. Lucia Marchi’s contribution traces intersections between
music, devotion, and civic life in early Quattrocento Umbria. Jehoash
Hirshberg and Andrew Kirk-man investigate transitional zones between
oral composition and writing in settings from the Rossi codex (Hirshberg),
and form and content in the music of Binchois (Kirkman). The semantic
nodes between texts, musical settings and meanings are the subject of
Virginia Newes’s study on mimesis and imitation, whilst Elizabeth Eva
Leach maps out intertextualities between three polyphonic songs that
(re-)interpret the Roman de la Rose. Anne-Marie Treacy examines the
emotional use of song in Chaucer’s Book of the Duchess against the
models provided by the dits of Guillaume de Machaut.
The editors,
Karl Kügle and Lorenz Welker, are Professors of Musicology at Utrecht
and Munich Universities. Together, they organized the 1997 and 2000
symposia
