Adhuc sum de numero Antiquorum quos horum aliqui rudes vocant.

I am now one of the ancients who are called backward-looking by some. I am old. They are clever and young. ...although in this work some things will be said against the opinions of the moderni, where they oppose the views of t…

The Use of Cut Signatures in Sacred Music by Binchois
Margaret BentCHAPTERBinchois studies2000
At the Binchois conference, I suggested that some early uses of φ might be better accounted for not as signs of acceleration but, rather, in certain recurrent and specific contexts, as general-purpose signs with a range of possible significations, some of them only minimally prescriptive. The observation arose from examining a repertory plagued by one particular problem of reconciling available theoretical testimony with musical sense: the music …

Diatonic ficta Revisited
Open AccessMargaret BentARTICLEMusic Theory Online1996
Roger Wibberley in MTO 2.5 has criticized a version I published of the sequence from Josquin'sAve Maria, on grounds that it flouts Glarean's modal classification. Cristle Collins Judd has already challenged Wibberley's construction of mode, and I further deny Glarean's relevance on chronological grounds. The first part of my article restates and revises some of the premises (ignored by Wibberley) which provided the context for my discussion of th…
Early Papal Motets
Margaret BentCHAPTERPapal music and musicians in late…1998
The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries were perhaps the most protracted period of instability the papacy has ever suffered. For much of the four teenth century the papal residence was not in Rome but at Avignon. During the Great Schism from 1378 there were two popes, one in Avignon and one in Rome. Instead of ending the Schism, the election of a third pope at Pisa in 1409 ushered in a period of threefold division, since neither of the other popes…
