Amcanion cyffredinol

  • to advance the student's knowledge and understanding historical systems used for the notation of music
  • to provide the students with an understanding of different types of sources and the skill to judge their validity and reliability
  • to understand the pragmatic and conceptual differences between original notation of different periods and functions and a modern performing score
  • to enable them to effect a translation from one into the other
  • to provide them with the practical skill of using music notation software to prepare such scores

Cynnwys cwrs

Students taking the course will transcribe and edit a variety of music, some vocal and some instrumental from the 17th to the 19th centuries, from reproductions of original sources. Some sources will be in score and others in parts; some will be manuscript and some printed. Certain pieces of work will involve a single source; others will require the collation and appraisal of more than one source, with variant readings tabulated and conclusions drawn about the relationship of the sources.

The module is designed to give students a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental principles of editorial musicology. ‘Editing’ covers techniques and approaches of critical editing and philology, which will enable you to produce a scholarly edition with all the standard ingredients. Case studies for this part of the module are taken mainly from the so-called ‘common practice era’. The ‘notation’ aspect will cover aspects such as tablature and coloration. Additional tutorials in using Sibelius will be provided if required.

Please note: this module only deals with repertoire from after c.1600. It will cover instrumental and vocal music.
