Abstract

Striggio’s forty-part motet Ecce beatam lucem survives in a unique manuscript source, dated 1587, in the Ratsschulbibliothek in Zwickau. Its text, first published in 1595, formed part of a Pindaric ode written by the neo-Latin poet and Calvinist Paul Schede Melissus (1539–1602). A closer consideration of Melissus’ biography indicates that he probably wrote it after 1575, long after the wedding festivities with which the motet has habitually been associated (Florence, 1565; Munich, 1568). Its subject matter – a Calvinist vision of the New Jerusalem – also makes it an unlikely wedding text and inappropriate for Catholic festivities. Rather, it was probably used as the text of a contrafactum, for an as yet unidentified occasion, with which Striggio himself had little or no connection.

新耶路撒冷的远景:施特里希欧的《我比你光明》文本

施特里乔的四十篇圣歌《Ecce beatam lucem》保存在一份独特的手稿中，日期为1587年，在茨维考的Ratsschulbibliothek。它的文本首次出版于1595年，是新拉丁诗人和加尔文主义者保罗·舍德·梅利苏斯(1539-1602)所写的品达尔颂歌的一部分。对梅利苏斯传记的仔细研究表明，他可能是在1575年之后写的，早在婚礼庆典之后，人们习惯性地将圣歌与婚礼庆典联系在一起(佛罗伦萨，1565;慕尼黑,1568)。它的主题——加尔文主义对新耶路撒冷的愿景——也使它不太可能成为婚礼文本，也不适合天主教的庆祝活动。更确切地说，它可能被用作合同的文本，用于一个尚未确定的场合，施特里乔本人很少或根本没有联系。
