Abstract

Renaissance vocal music has an editorial problem. Performers and editors of pre-Baroque repertoire are unable simply to realise the music on the page but instead must decide whether the notation means what it says it means: manuscripts require interpretation. This obligation arises from the widely accepted idea that the surviving compositions were not chromatically precise and that certain types of inflection—what today we would call accidentals—were omitted in writing but applied in performance. There are several well-known ‘rules’ that govern the creation of these inflections,1 but this is where the consensus ends. Every scholar’s particular application of these rules is slightly different, and consequently, no two recordingsof a Josquin mass or a Mouton motet sound identical. As Peter Urquhart observes in his weighty contribution to the topic, even the term used to describe these problems, musica ficta, is ambiguous. […]
彼得·厄克特。文艺复兴时期法国-佛兰芒音乐中的声音与感觉:升、降与Ficta音乐问题(回顾)
文艺复兴时期的声乐有一个编辑问题。前巴洛克曲目的表演者和编辑不能简单地理解乐谱上的音乐,而是必须决定乐谱是否如它所说的那样:手稿需要解读。这种义务源于一种被广泛接受的观点,即现存的作品在音色上并不精确,某些类型的屈折——今天我们称之为偶然——在写作中被省略,但在演奏中得到了应用。有几个众所周知的“规则”支配着这些变化的产生,但这是共识的终结。每个学者对这些规则的具体应用都略有不同,因此,没有两段乔斯金弥撒或木顿圣歌的录音听起来完全相同。正如彼得·厄克特(Peter Urquhart)在他对这个话题的重要贡献中所观察到的那样,即使是用来描述这些问题的术语,“音乐电影”(musica ficta),也是模棱两可的。[…]

期刊介绍: Science in Context is an international journal edited at The Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas, Tel Aviv University, with the support of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute. It is devoted to the study of the sciences from the points of view of comparative epistemology and historical sociology of scientific knowledge. The journal is committed to an interdisciplinary approach to the study of science and its cultural development - it does not segregate considerations drawn from history, philosophy and sociology. Controversies within scientific knowledge and debates about methodology are presented in their contexts.
