Nasce il Centro studi europeo di musica medievale

info@italiamedievale.org (Italia Medievale) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 06:55:00 +0000

C’è un’emozione palpabile. Tante sensazioni per una certezza: il talento, la passione, la dedizione, lo studio, la ricerca di un musicista non comune destinati a restare per sempre. Le stesse, peraltro, che emersero subito dopo lo sgomento e il vuoto seguiti a quel giorno in cui Adolfo Broegg si spense. D’improvviso, dopo l’ennesima notte di note. Folle, come quelle veglie che solo l’arte può farti vivere. Senza riferimenti di spazio e di tempo. Piene di colori. Fatte di squarci laceranti. Dove senti e non pensi per la potenza delle vibrazioni. Da queste stesse colonne, appunto il giorno dopo in cui il maestro Broegg morì, Patrizia Bovi, Goffredo degli Esposti, Gabriele Russo, gli amici, i musicisti, i politici, gli amministratori, i melomani dissero, prima a loro stessi e poi agli altri, che quel nome non doveva essere dimenticato. Di più: grazie a quel nome e in coerenza con quanto aveva significato, si sarebbe potuto “fare”. Ieri mattina, dopo tanti sforzi e nella rotonda coincidenza dei 25 anni dalla nascita dell’Ensemble Micrologus che Broegg volle fortissimamente, l’annuncio che a Spello (PG) è sorto il Centro studi europeo di musica medievale a lui intitolato. E proprio qui, dopo un vagabondare imbarazzante soprattutto in quel di Assisi dove pure era nata la passione del Gruppo per il Medioevo, i Micrologus hanno trovato degnamente e finalmente casa. Per un patto morale, sociale, culturale stretto e scritto dal sindaco Sandro Vitali e dalla gente di Spello colta e orgogliosa che la anima e la infiora,da oggi si irradierà verso l’Europa e oltre, la bontà di un progetto fatto di convegni, seminari, corsi per le scuole, concerti. Di competenze utili a supportare le celebrazioni storiche di cui l’Umbria è piena. La casa dei Micrologus e, dunque, del Centro studi Broegg, indissolubilmente e giustamente uniti, è prestigiosa, adeguata: è la Chiesa di Santa Maria della Consolazione di Prato totalmente restaurata e adibita ad auditorium. Qui troveranno posto i liuti del musicista donati dalla famiglia e che la stessa Gigliola, mamma di Adolfo, vuole che non restino chiusi in bacheche ma fruibili agli alunni, ai futuri musicisti nel rispetto di un desiderio che sicuramente il figlio aveva: fare della musicale medievale una forma espressiva fruibile. L’inaugurazione ufficiale con la consegna delle chiavi, avverrà in una due giorni di festa nello spirito aperto alla vita di Broegg. Il 5 e 6 dicembre 2009 si assisterà all’apertura della mostra di liuti, a due concerti dei Micrologus, a due tavole rotonde “La formazione professionale in campo musicale” e “La ricerca e la riproposta della musica antica in Umbria, in Italia”. E siccome questa è gente concreta, dall’11 al 13 dicembre 2009 prenderà vita l’iniziativa “Porte aperte alle voci” con lo scopo di conoscere coloro che studiano, lavorano o sono semplicemente interessati alla musica medievale (domanda da inoltrare entro il 6 dicembre a info@micrologus.it). Che bello avercela fatta. Che bravi quelli che sono riusciti a realizzare il Centro Broegg e dare una sede stabile ai Micrologus. E soprattutto che energia dà pensare quante cose, con un’auspicabile consapevolezza, si potranno realizzare partendo da uno spartito antico.

THE LITURGY IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND

info@italiamedievale.org (Italia Medievale) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 12:13:00 +0000

The Liturgy in Medieval England
by Richard W. Pfaff
622 pages
Published September 2009

This is the first comprehensive historical treatment of the Latin liturgy in medieval England. Richard Pfaff constructs a history of the worship carried out in churches - cathedral, monastic, or parish - primarily through the surviving manuscripts of service books, and sets this within the context of the wider political, ecclesiastical, and cultural history of the period. The main focus is on the mass and daily office, treated both chronologically and by type, the liturgies of each religious order and each secular ‘use’ being studied individually. Furthermore, hagiographical and historiographical themes - respectively, which saints are prominent in a given witness and how the labors of scholars over the last century and a half have both furthered and, in some cases, impeded our understandings - are explored throughout. The book thus provides both a narrative account and a reference tool of permanent value.
CONTENTS
1. Introduction; 2. Early Anglo-Saxon England: a partly traceable story; 3. Later Anglo-Saxon: liturgy for England; 4. The Norman conquest: cross fertilizations; 5. Monastic liturgy, 1100-1215; 6. Benedictine liturgy after 1215; 7. Other monastic orders; 8. The non-monastic religious orders: canons regular; 9. The non-monastic religious orders: friars; 10. Old Sarum: the beginnings of Sarum use; 11. New Sarum and the spread of Sarum use; 12. Exeter: the fullness of secular liturgy; 13. Southern England: final Sarum use; 14. Regional uses and local variety; 15. Towards the end of the story.

The Soldier in later Medieval England: An exciting new AHRC research project

info@italiamedievale.org (Italia Medievale) — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 05:14:00 +0000

The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) has awarded a Research Grant worth just under £500,000 to Dr Adrian Bell of the ICMA Centre and Professor Anne Curry of the University of Southampton to challenge assumptions about the emergence of professional soldiery between 1369 and 1453.

The project has an innovative methodological approach and will be producing an on-line searchable resource for public use of immense value and interest to genealogists as well as social, political and military historians. The project employs two Research Assistants over three years and also includes one Doctoral Research Studentship - all of whom began work on 1st October 2006. The whole team is working on a jointly authored book, conference papers, and articles.

Instruments pour jouer les musiques du Moyen Age

info@italiamedievale.org (Italia Medievale) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 16:35:00 +0000

Quand à l'automne 1998, j'ai commencé à travailler sur ce site, mon but était de présenter les instruments que j'avais réunis depuis la fin des années 1970 pour jouer ces musiques du Moyen Age. Loin de moi l'idée d'une présentation exhaustive et scientifique! Des spécialistes n'ont d'ailleurs pas manqué de relever quelques erreurs dans mes propos. De plus certains instruments, même si leur sonorité est intéressante, présentent des caractères indéniablement fantaisistes ou anachroniques. Puis, au fil de rencontres, sur le Web ou ailleurs, j'ai compris qu'il y avait une demande pour en savoir plus sur ces instruments et sur les musiques qu'ils peuvent jouer. C'est pourquoi j'ai commencé à mettre en ligne toute la documentation que j'avais accumulée: fichiers .midi, photographies, fiches sur les instruments que je ne possède (malheureusement !!! ) pas, sur les possibilités de répertoire , ...........Aujourd'hui, je ne prétends toujours pas avoir réalisé un travail exhaustif; mais régulièrement j'ajoute des nouveautés. De plus, pour les visiteurs qui veulent en savoir davantage, je mets à jour régulièrement une longue page de liens, ainsi qu'une bibliographie francophone sur le sujet.

Musée national du Moyen Âge

info@italiamedievale.org (Italia Medievale) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 08:03:00 +0000

Le musée national du Moyen Âge, est installé dans deux monuments parisiens exceptionnels : les thermes gallo-romains (Ier-IIIe siècles) et l'hôtel des abbés de Cluny (fin XVe siècle). Il a été fondé par l'Etat, en 1843, grâce aux collections d'un amateur qui se passionnait pour le Moyen Âge, Alexandre Du Sommerard et qui habitait dans l'hôtel de Cluny. Enrichies au cours des années, les collections offrent aujourd'hui un panorama unique sur l'art et l'histoire des hommes de la Gaule romaine au début du XVIe siècle. Elles permettent de parcourir en un lieu unique près de quinze siècles d'art et d'histoire.
Les thermes gallo-romains sont l'un des témoignages les plus spectaculaires de l'architecture antique conservé sur le sol de la Gaule. Lutèce se partageait alors en deux ensembles urbains, l'un blotti à l'intérieur de la Cité ; l'autre sur la rive gauche de la Seine (Montagne Sainte-Geneviève). C'est là que se sont développés villas et monuments grandioses : le Forum sous la rue Soufflot, les arènes rue Monge, les thermes du sud rue Gay-Lussac, les thermes de l'est sous le Collège de France et les thermes du nord dits de Cluny.
Les thermes du nord revêtent une importance particulière du fait de leur état de conservation exceptionnel ; la réutilisation pratiquement continue de l'édifice depuis le Moyen Âge en est la cause principale. Les thermes étaient formés de différents espaces, destinés au public ou aux services, et de souterrains. On identifie aisément les trois salles importantes : le frigidarium (salle froide) englobé dans le musée avec sa voûte de 15 m de haut ; un calda à l'ouest bordé par le boulevard Saint-Michel et un autre caldarium au sud à l'angle du boulevard Saint-Michel et de la rue Du Sommerard. Ces deux dernières salles sont en partie ruinées depuis le XVIIIe siècle. Les murs en élévation ont conservé leur structure d'origine qui se singularise par l'emploi de petites pierres carrées séparées à intervalles réguliers de rangs de briques. A l'intérieur, ils étaient recouverts de mosaïque, de marbre ou de peinture. Le frigidarium en conserve des traces. Le fragment de mosaïque aujourd'hui exposé, « un Amour chevauchant un dauphin », pourrait en constituer le dernier vestige. Cet ensemble architectural était comme bien d'autres thermes, l'un des hauts lieux de la civilisation romaine.

Migration et identité religieuse

info@italiamedievale.org (Italia Medievale) — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 07:02:00 +0000

Dans l’atelier «Migration et identité religieuse. Perspectives médiévales et contemporaines en dialogue», l’ensemble thématique «migration – identité religieuse – intégration» sera traité avec la perspective de l’historien médiéviste et du sociologue. L’objectif de l’atelier est d’expliquer la relation entre migration et transformation d’identités religieuses. Partant d’analyses de cas individuels, nous tenterons de répondre à la question principale si l’on peut trouver des mécanismes d’une relation causale entre les mouvements migratoires, les transformations religieuses et l’intégration des groupes migratoires dans la société réceptrice. Des spécialistes des processus de migration actuels dans un contexte européen, americain et arabe commenteront des interventions des médiévistes traitant la migration et christianisation des gentes germaniques de l’antiquité tardive et du haut Moyen Âge, l’expansion arabo-islamique du VIIe et VIIIe siècles, la situation dans la Hongrie médiévale, la migration des Normands ainsi que l’islamisation des groupes turcs en Anatolie du haut et du bas moyen âge. L’atelier sera complété par un film documentaire ainsi que par une table ronde entre médiévistes et contemporanéistes. Les interventions seront en allemand, anglais et français. Toutes les interventions allemandes seront traduites simultanément.

Medieval Space

Archaeologists have thrown new light on Britain's medieval past - using data gathered from a space shuttle mission, it was announced today.
A research team from Edinburgh University used an image taken from on board the shuttle to discover tracks on a remote Scottish island which they say give a new insight into the economy of the Scottish Highlands and islands in the Middle Ages.
The radar image showed a network of tracks around the castle of the Lords of the Isles, on Islay, Argyllshire, which they say indicates that mining played an important part in the economy of the area.
It was the first time radar pictures from the space shuttle's powerful imaging system had been used to help archaeologists working on Britain's past

Medieval York

info@italiamedievale.org (Italia Medievale) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:49:00 +0000

Medieval York

A ‘lost’ medieval gild roll which yields important clues about the origins of the York Mystery Plays has been uncovered by experts at the University of York.
The 600-year-old roll belonging to the Pater Noster Gild (the Gild of the Lord’s Prayer) was among a collection of historical documents given to the University by Raymond Burton, but its true significance only came to light following detailed study by archivists at the Borthwick Institute.
For more than 100 years, the roll was thought to be lost until it was discovered among the documents purchased by Raymond Burton from a London antiquarian books dealer. It is the only Pater Noster Gild roll to survive. A transcript and commentary is published in the latest edition of Northern History.
The four-feet-long parchment roll - a record of the accounts of the Pater Noster Gild for 1399 to 1400 - is in remarkable condition, save for a number of minor water stains and some abrasion damage that has caused the disappearance of the ink in one section. But Borthwick Institute conservator, Trevor Cooper, used UV light to decipher the imprint of the missing text.

Medieval geography
The great kingdoms of Sanfotsi and Toupo (Shopo) mentioned in the Chinese geographical works of Chau Ju-Kua, Chou Ku-Fei and Ma Tuan-lin are often located inareas of the West like Sumatra, Java and Malaysia. However, a close analysis of the texts give directions that point decidely further East. Thus, scholars like Roland Braddell and Paul Wheatley have looked further East, specifically to the region of Northern Borneo. Some other researchers, though, like J.L. Moens, from the Leiden school, M. Yang-ouen-hoei, D'Harvey de St. Denis and Austin Craig asserted that either Sanfotsi or Toupo were located among the Philippine islands.

Medieval Feasts

info@italiamedievale.org (Italia Medievale) — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 17:36:00 +0000

Medieval Feasts
Medieval feasts and dinners were remarkably similar to our own modern manner of eating; today's meals generally start out light, such as with a soup or salad, then move on to the heavier items of meats and vegetables, and end with something sweet - and the more formal or special the occasion, the more likely the dessert will be something extravagant or showy. Medieval meals, too, followed such a pattern, but the reasons for the foods that were eaten, how they were prepared, and when they were eaten followed a train of thought much different than ours of today.
Dinners & feasts usually started with foods that were considered easily digestible, such as light meats, warm & moist foods such as soups and broths, moist fruits (especially peaches), and greens such as lettuce, cabbage, and "herbs." Spices were thought to warm the stomach, and were therefore an excellent stomach opener. Cheese was eaten both before and during the meal, as an aid to digestion and to help a "weak stomach." Foods that were more difficult to digest, such as beef & fatty pork and heavy fruits, like pears & chestnuts, were consumed later in the meal. In large feasts, very rich and exotic foods were served in smaller portions only to highly distinguished guests after the more filling and common dishes had been served to the entire hall. This practice would continue as the feast progressed, ending with the finest of delicacies being served to just the table of the king or nobleman in charge of the affair.

By John Craton. Edited by John Craton. Chamber ensemble. For Violin, piano. Chamber music. St position) and piano. Medieval and renaissance. Level: Easy to intermediate. Book and part. 46 pages. Duration 3 minutes. Published by Wolfhead Music. (WM505)

A collection for violin in first position designed to introduce the young student to music from the Middle Ages and early Renaissance. The melody lines are essentially authentic tunes from the era with piano accompaniments that meld medieval and modern harmonies. The idea is to make the pieces more accessible and enjoyable to the student who approaches these works for the beauty of the melodic lines rather than for scholarly authenticity. Though not strictly so, the selections are generally progressive from very easy to intermediate in difficulty.

Medieval Manuscripts fossils

Through the ages, innumerable texts have been consumed by fire, war, theft, and other disasters. Each ancient or medieval manuscript in existence today has its own story of survival against the odds, whether the document was tucked away in an obscure monastery for a millennium or stolen by Vikings and passed from collector to collector. Manuscript experts have long puzzled over the question, what fraction of ancient works has survived?

THE ABBAYE AUX DAMES

This monastic house founded in 1047 by Geoffroy Martel and his wife Agnès de Bourgogne was the first female convent in Saintonge. It was highly prestigious up until the French Revolution when the Benedictines were harried out. The Church of Notre-Dame dates back to the origins in the 11th and 12th Centuries. The arch mouldings above the portal and the capitals on the belltower are magnificent examples Saintonge Romanesque art.There is a permanent exhibition in the 17th Century religious buildings recounting the history of the site. Nowadays the Abbey belongs to the prestigious grouping of Centres Culturels de Rencontre (Cultural Meeting Places) which produce a very well reputed festival every year in July, "le Festival de Saintes".www.abbayeauxdames.org

Medieval bible

The Latin Bible of the Middle Ages lacked a standard canonical version and differed considerably from modern Bible edition. It could consist of one or many volumes and varied considerably in size. The Latin translation could correspond to those we find in contemporary versions or be traced to older sources. Even the order of the biblical books could vary. The Latin Bible of the Middle Ages also contained texts which later came to be regarded as non-canonical. Only during the 16th century, did the Bible develop the form we are familiar with today.

Chicago collector Harvey B. Plotnick has assembled what is generally regarded as the finest private collection of early Islamic ceramics in the world. From these truly outstanding objects—much admired by specialists in the field of Islamic art and connoisseurs alike—a selection of approximately 100 treasures ranging in date from the early Abbasid caliphate in Iraq (9th–10th century) and the Mongol Ilkhanid dynasty in Iran (mid-13th–mid-14th century) to the Timurid dynasty in eastern central Asia (14th–15th century) is on view in the exhibition Perpetual Glory.
