Renaissance Music and Musicology
In Summer 2002, when the International Musicological Society (IMS) gathered for its quiquennial meeting in Leuven, I was still a relatively junior scholar, with only a few grants and publications to my name. My presentation, "When Is a Madrigal Not a Madrigal?," focused on challenging the status of the musical score, which for over a century had been the primary tool for the study, analysis and performance of Renaissance music. After one set of a…
The performance of polyphony in early 16th-century Italian convents
This article explores evidence for polyphonic music in Italian convents during the first half of the 16th century. It presents a summary of documentary evidence relating to conventual music in the pre-Tridentine era, alongside practical evidence from contemporary treatises regarding methods by which convent choirs could develop a polyphonic repertory from existing music. It revisits claims for mandatory downwards transposition of music written in…

The Ricreationi per monache of Suor Annalena Aldobrandini
Two newly discovered manuscripts in the Biblioteca Estense provide an insight into convent culture in late sixteenth‐century Italy. They are the work of Annalena Aldobrandini, a nun at the convent of Santo Spirito in Florence. Annalena's manuscript contains eight veglie intended for performance during Carnevale and the Calendimaggio. Striking detail is preserved in the instructions for instruments, music, staging and costumes. Subject matter rang…

Sing a song of difference
Although a wheelchair-user and permanently disabled through polio, the southern American singer Connie Boswell was one of radio and vaudeville's biggest stars in the 1930s. She and her sisters were a compelling force in American popular entertainment for the first half of the decade; and when the group split in 1936, Connie carried on a solo career in radio, recording, film and television for another twenty-five years. Connie's unique position as…
White Face, Black Voice
The New Orleans hot jazz vocal trio the Boswell Sisters was one of the leading ensembles of the 1930s. Enormously popular with audiences, the Boswells were also recognized by colleagues and peers to be among the finest singers, instrumentalists, and arrangers of their day. Many jazz historians remember them as the first successful white singers who truly "sounded black," yet they rarely interrogate what "sounding black" meant for the Boswells, no…

'Onde havrà 'l mond'esempio et vera historia'
Le voyage de Henri III, roi de France, en Italie du Nord en 1574 fut marque par un contexte politique moins favorable que le laisse entendre certaines chroniques de l'epoque. Apres avoir delimite les contours du climat politique entourant ce voyage en Italie, l'A. propose quelques echos musicaux de la progression du Roi depuis Venise jusqu'a Turin. Si les traces des compositions et representations musicales en l'honneur du Roi furent dispersees p…
