The long Middle Ages: Forms of notation in early modern non-professional manuscripts containing sacred music

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › Other research output

Abstract

A Cantuale written around 1600 and stemming from the library of the Beguinage in Amsterdam (today Nijmegen, University Library, ms. 402) includes liturgical chant and religious songs, both monophonic and polyphonic. The main corpus of this manuscript is written by one hand using four kinds of music notation: gothic notation, black and white mensural notation, and modern notation. In several melodies elements of two or three notations are mixed. Although a broad range of music notations appears in this manuscript, the notations are not generally used as separate notational systems but constitute a unity to some extent.
