Understanding Old Hispanic chant manuscripts

项目摘要

ContextOld Hispanic chant manuscripts do not specify precise intervals or pitches. This has constrained scholarly understanding of the melodies. In grant AH/H008306/1, we began to understand Old Hispanic chant's musical language systematically, especially the cadences. We identified characteristic cadence gestures, and how they are adapted to different numbers of syllables and (sometimes) accent patterns. We also explored how melodic pacing interacts with text: there are often many notes on theologically important words, directing participants' meditations towards those words and ideas. AimsWe will significantly increase the cultural impact of these research findings, through: digital exhibitions; public workshops in Madrid and Coimbra; incorporation of Old Hispanic chant data in www.cantusdatabase.org (the flagship digital archive of ecclesiastical manuscript contents); explanatory Youtube videos; and promotion of our online transcription and analysis software.We will reconnect locals who visit archives and museums in Lamego, Coimbra, Madrid, León and Valencia with this almost-forgotten aspect of their cultural heritage, as well as reaching out to tourists. An interactive digital exhibition will combine with display - in their home institutions - of some fragmentary manuscripts. The exhibition, co-produced with the five institutions, will raise consciousness of Old Hispanic liturgy, the broad outlines of its history generally, and the history of these fragments in particular. We will also introduce the general public to some of our melodic findings, through a beginners' guide to reading the notations, and a primer to help people recognise cadence shapes and appreciate how the melody paces and parses the text. Some exhibition materials will be presented in short videos, also posted on Youtube (further broadening the potential reach). All exhibition materials will be presented in English, Spanish and Portuguese.Old Hispanic material will be included in www.cantusdabatase.org for the first time. As well as academics, this is the first port of call for choirmasters and amateur chant/liturgy enthusiasts, who may be struck by the liturgical and theological distinctiveness of the Old Hispanic chants and want to explore further: we will add links to our web-based Chant Editing and Analysis Program, where they will find the digital exhibition and our transcription and analysis tools. We will use social networking and communicate with special interest groups to spread knowledge of our activities. Potential applications and benefitsWe will engage audiences in ways that go far beyond superficial appreciation of the beauty and antiquity of the materials. The benefits are cultural: certainly aesthetic and historical, likely giving people the joy of spotting meaningful patterns across initially incomprehensible signs, and (for some) devotional and spiritual as well. Although it is little known nowadays, the Old Hispanic liturgy is theologically and musically complex; the sophistication of the liturgies put together for individual feasts and for whole seasons bears comparison with other treasures of the medieval age. The proposed activities allow a large number of people to engage with this cultural treasure.We will develop a network of new Iberian partners, with whose institutions we will explore the possibility of similar knowledge transfer in future, on the innovative model proposed here. Our longterm aim is a three-way collaboration between our analytical software, www.cantusdatabase.org and SIMSSA (McGill University, in the opening phase of developing optical neume recognition software). The proposed project brings together the two parts of this research that are ready for public use, while continuing to develop three-way dialogue with SIMSSA.

旧的西班牙圣歌手稿没有指定精确的间隔或音高。这限制了对旋律的学术理解。在AH/H 008306/1号文件中，我们开始系统地理解古西班牙圣歌的音乐语言，尤其是韵律。我们确定了特征性的节奏手势，以及它们如何适应不同数量的音节和（有时）口音模式。我们还探索了旋律节奏如何与文本相互作用：通常有许多关于神学重要词汇的注释，引导参与者对这些词汇和想法进行冥想。目标我们将通过以下方式显著增加这些研究成果的文化影响：数字展览;在马德里和科英布拉举办公共研讨会;在www.example.com中纳入古西班牙圣歌数据www.cantusdatabase.org（教会手稿内容的旗舰数字档案馆）;解释性的Youtube视频;并推广我们的在线转录和分析软件。我们将重新连接访问拉梅戈，科英布拉，马德里，莱昂和瓦伦西亚的文化遗产中几乎被遗忘的一面，以及向游客伸出援手。一个互动的数字展览将结合联合收割机与显示-在他们的家庭机构-一些零碎的手稿。该展览与五个机构共同制作，将提高人们对旧西班牙裔礼拜仪式的认识，其历史的大致轮廓，特别是这些片段的历史。我们还将通过初学者阅读符号的指南向公众介绍我们的一些旋律发现，并通过入门来帮助人们识别节奏形状并欣赏旋律如何节奏和解析文本。一些展览材料将以短视频的形式呈现，并在Youtube上发布（进一步扩大潜在的影响范围）。所有展览材料将以英语、西班牙语和葡萄牙语呈现。旧的西班牙语材料将首次被收录在www.cantusdabatase.org上。以及学者，这是呼吁唱诗班指挥和业余圣歌/礼仪爱好者的第一个港口，他们可能会被古老的西班牙圣歌的礼仪和神学特色所打动，并希望进一步探索：我们将添加链接到我们基于网络的圣歌编辑和分析程序，在那里他们将找到数字展览和我们的转录和分析工具。我们将利用社交网络，并与特殊利益集团沟通，以传播我们的活动知识。潜在的应用和好处我们将吸引观众的方式远远超出了肤浅的欣赏美丽和古老的材料。好处是文化上的：当然是美学和历史的，可能会给人们在最初无法理解的符号中发现有意义的模式的乐趣，（对一些人来说）也是虔诚和精神的。虽然它是鲜为人知的今天，旧西班牙语礼仪是神学和音乐复杂;复杂的礼仪放在一起，为个人节日和整个季节熊与中世纪的其他宝藏比较。我们将建立一个新的伊比利亚合作伙伴网络，我们将与这些合作伙伴的机构探讨今后在这里提出的创新模式下进行类似知识转让的可能性。我们的长期目标是我们的分析软件www.cantusdatabase.org和SIMSSA（麦吉尔大学，处于开发光学中子识别软件的开放阶段）之间的三方合作。拟议的项目汇集了这一研究的两个部分，可供公众使用，同时继续发展与SIMSSA的三方对话。
