1. to build on and enhance the skills acquired in the year 2 module "Notation and Editing"
2. enable the student to engage in a sustained independent scholarly enquiry in the field of musical editing
3. enable the student to communicate the results of this enquiry in an adequate fashion
4. to develop practical and widely applicable problem-solving skills
5. to develop the student's confidence in working with musical sources and making editorial decisions based on educated reasoning

Participants of this module will prepare a critical edition of a suitable work from original sources or photographic reproductions of such sources. The work concerned will be selected by the candidate in consultation with the module coordinator, preferably by the start of the preceding summer. The length of the work will depend upon various factors, including scoring, the number and complexity of sources, and the extent and degree of editorial intervention the materials demand; but in every instance full editorial apparatus will be required, including a detailed textual commentary. The edition should show awareness of previous editions of relevant music, but also demonstrate a capacity for solving specific editorial problems. Credit will be given for the quality of presentation as well as of editorial work. The project will be accompanied by seminars on the research, bibliography and methodology skills required for preparing the edition.

PLEASE NOTE: A single source project (unless that source is highly corrupt and/or incomplete and thus requiring an extended amount of editorial intervention or reconstruction) is a transcription. A transcription is not a critical edition in and of itself. Thus, most single-source projects are not suitable for an Edition project. An extended transcription plus commentary is better addressed (in terms of learning outcomes) under the Dissertation module. You thus typically need at least two sources; the more complex the relationship the better. It is essential to discuss any concerns you may have with the module coordinator in the first instance.

Written assignment, including essay	Edition	A submission will normally consist of the following elements (not of which is described here exhaustively – see the FORMAT OF SUBMISSIONS document, posted under Information on Blackboard). The word limits are suggestions only given to you as a guide, and will inevitably vary depending on the complexity of the editorial challenge: Introduction: Typically 750–1000 words. Description of sources: Typically 750–1000 words. Words (vocal music only): This section typically consists of the words in the original language(s) and in English translation; identification of the author and the textual source. Editorial Principles: Typically 300 words. Bibliography Edition: Typically 400 bars of average complexity, but this will vary depending on the nature of the edition: you must discuss this with the module coordinator well in advance of submission, and keep it under review as the project develops. If the music is not editorially complex you should discuss with the module coordinator other ways to expand the project to allow you to fulfil the relevant learning outcomes. Critical Commentary: The length of this section will vary depending on the project. The dimensions of the edition: While written submissions can be measured easily in words, there is no simple yardstick that suits editions of all kinds. As a rule of thumb, 10 credits are normally equivalent to 80–100 bars of a work of ‘average’ complexity. The module coordinator will advise on levels of complexity. But you must ensure that you discuss it with the coordinator in advance of submission as your definition of appropriate complexity may not be that held by the coordinator nor by the examiners.	80.00
INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATION	Presentation	Each student will be asked to give a 15-20-minute oral presentation on their edition topic. This is due in the assessment period of Semester 1. Detailed guidance on what to include etc. will be provided over the course of Semester 1 (see also module handbook).	10.00
REPORT	Review	Select a critical edition of music either by the composer(s) you are yourself editing or from the same genre/period. You are strongly advised to seek advice on choosing suitable editions from the module coordinator. Your task is to review the edition in the style of a published journal review (examples can be found in journals such as Early Music, Music and Letters etc). A bibliography is required.	10.00

		Oriau
Supervised time in studio/workshop	Two three-hour peer-review sessions held in semester 2, normally held in the week before or after reading week and in the week before the Easter break. If the class size is small alternatives will be provided.	6
Individual Project	Individual supervisions with an allocated supervisor, amounting to a minimum total duration of 8 hours. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange supervisions. Supervisions will take place via a University approved platform such as Teams.	8
Private study	Including preparation for seminars and all assessments.	381
Seminar	Five seminars (four during Semester 1: in the second, fourth, sixth and ninth weeks of term, i.e. weeks 7, 9, 11, 15; and one in the fourth week of semester 2, i.e. week 25). The seminar in semester 2 will focus on formatting and layout etc.; those in semester 1 will focus on editorial issues and presentation preparation. Tasks / reading will normally be set as preparation. You are strongly encouraged to complete preparation as a group, adhering to health and safety advice.	5
