On Keeping Things as Books
Music, literature, history. These things are not quite alike. But in Europe, before the advent of recording machines thatmade it possible for sounds to be recorded and played back, the three activities relied on the same technology ofpreservation. They were kept in/as books. Bookishness, in European and colonial imaginaries, was an often idealized,powerful means of keeping things from slipping away. An understanding of bookish things as a reposit…
Im/Materiality in Renaissance Arts
The inspiration for this Special Issue on Im/Materiality in Renaissance Arts arose from two convictions: (1) that sensual experiences and the physicality of creation must be a part of our accounts of the past, and (2) that crosstalk among scholars of music, literature, art, and architecture can reveal both the historiographical gaps endemic to specific disciplines and the critical tools each specialty brings to the project of incorporating living…
La partition musicale et chorégraphique: Un débat entre Bojana Cvejić, Marc Downie et Paul Kaiser, Benjamin Piekut, Frédéric Pouillaude et Edward C. Warburton, mené par Mark Franko et Kate van Orden
Parler de partitions musicales et chorégraphiques, qu’on les considère ensemble ou séparément, conduit inévitablement à soulever des questions sur les représentations textuelles très inégales, ayant évolué au cours du temps, qui tentent de saisir le son, la parole, le geste et le mouvement. En musique, la partition commence dès que sont notés des signes accompagnant le texte liturgique, représentant les gestes faits par les chanteurs d’un chœur p…
Materialities: Books, Readers, and the Chanson in Sixteenth-Century Europe
'Materialities' is a cultural history of song on the page. Concentrating on print in the early modern period, it approaches its topic via the French chanson, arguably the most broadly disseminated genre of polyphony in the sixteenth century. 'Materialities' is as much about how to study print culturally as it is about 'the music itself'. In this way it aligns with histories of the book by scholars such as Roger Chartier, adding a musical perspect…
Latin Primers
This chapter recovers the student’s first experiences of written texts by concentrating on Latin "primers": ABCs, books of hours, and catechisms. These pedagogical texts regularly open with the Pater noster and Ave Maria. Study of musical settings of these prayers leads to two conclusions: (1) some Latin motets may have been music for beginners rather than the musical preserve of clergymen, choristers, and literati, and (2) singing canons in unis…
Recent Trends in the Study of Music of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth Centuries
Leonardo da Vinci famously characterized music as “giving shape ... to invisible things”;1 the authors of these three essays on recent trends in the study of music illuminate a range of scholarly strategies that interpret and render meaningful the fleeting sounds of music. Two of the essays, by Elizabeth Eva Leach and Kate van Orden, trace some ramifications of the cultural turn in music research. As in other humanistic disciplines, musicologists…

Children's Voices: Singing and Literacy in Sixteenth-Century France
Around 1600, students in France learnt to read with printed primers. They began with the letters of the alphabet, learning them by playing with little wooden or cardboard tablets or picking them out of books, and then moved on to syllables, which were learnt from syllabaries printed in large letters and containing the Pater noster , Ave Maria , Credo , Confiteor and the Benedicite . When they began to spell out whole words, children moved on to a…

"Female "Complaintes: Laments of Venus, Queens, and City Women in Late Sixteenth-Century France
This essay studies a large repertory of French laments (complaintes,) written in the voices of women. As a feminine counterpart to masculine love lyric, the complainte arose from an alternative poetics, treating subjects excluded from fin amors, such as death, crime, and war. Essentially, lyric assigned erotic longing to men and mourning to women. The unusual subject matter accommodated by the complaintes, coupled with a set of material and music…
