Abstract

Abstract As he explains at great length in his introduction, Sigismondo Fanti painstakingly calculated and constructed his Triompho di Fortuna with the purpose of enlightening its reader as to their fortunes following on from a given situation in their life. Every step along the somewhat convoluted journey towards discovering one’s fortune is accompanied by richly meaningful imagery. The illustrations not only, in some cases, summarize the text, but also make persistent connections between the playing of the game and broader intellectual, military and artistic culture. Music appears in multiple visual forms throughout the book. Some of the ‘Wheels’ forming part of the journey through the game are given musical characters (‘Wheel of Music’, ‘Wheel of the Lyre’). A very large cycle of portraits appearing alongside some segments of the game includes musicians ranging from mythological figures to Fanti’s contemporaries. And among the tiny woodcut scenes that accompany and characterize the various fortunes at the end of the book are several musical scenes. A substantial proportion of the questions and answers provided by the book concern love, and it is with fortunes concerned with love that musical scenes are most often associated, shading across the topics of sex, romance, decorum and faithfulness. In this article—the first to expose Fanti’s the Triompho di Fortuna as a rich, multidisciplinary source—the connections proposed in the book between different aspects of love and their musical characterization will be discussed and contextualized.

西吉斯蒙多-方蒂的《福星三重奏》（1527 年）中的音乐与爱情

西吉斯蒙多·凡蒂在引言中用了很长的篇幅解释说，他煞费苦心地计算和构建了他的《命运的凯旋门》，目的是让读者明白，他们的命运是在他们生活中的特定情况下发生的。在发现自己财富的曲折旅程中，每一步都伴随着丰富而有意义的意象。在某些情况下，插图不仅总结了文本，而且还将游戏玩法与更广泛的智力、军事和艺术文化联系起来。音乐在整本书中以多种视觉形式出现。一些形成游戏旅程的“轮子”被赋予了音乐角色(“音乐之轮”，“竖琴之轮”)。在游戏的一些片段中，出现了一个非常大的肖像循环，其中包括从神话人物到凡蒂同时代的音乐家。在书的最后，伴随着各种命运的小木刻场景中，有几个音乐场景。书中提供的大部分问题和答案都与爱情有关，而音乐场景最常与与爱情有关的财富联系在一起，并在性、浪漫、礼仪和忠诚等主题之间产生阴影。在这篇文章中——第一个揭露凡蒂的《命运的凯旋门》是一个丰富的、多学科的来源——书中提出的爱的不同方面和它们的音乐特征之间的联系将被讨论和语境化。

期刊介绍： Early Music is a stimulating and richly illustrated journal, and is unrivalled in its field. Founded in 1973, it remains the journal for anyone interested in early music and how it is being interpreted today. Contributions from scholars and performers on international standing explore every aspect of earlier musical repertoires, present vital new evidence for our understanding of the music of the past, and tackle controversial issues of performance practice. Each beautifully-presented issue contains a wide range of thought-provoking articles on performance practice. New discoveries of musical sources, instruments and documentation are regularly featured, and innovatory approaches to research and performance are explored, often in collections of themed articles.
