y proposed project seeks to develop a new understanding of the nature of personal musical performance within Renaissance culture. I seek to explore how musical instruments, made as for self-fashioning and for display, provided permanent visibility to claims of virtue embedded in personal musical accomplishment. I intend to focus on the English Renaissance court for my evidence of a broader European phenomenon because England serves as an enthusiastic latecomer to these Renaissance ideals, and because there is a compelling body of evidence (such as surviving instruments and evidence of ownership) upon which to develop these arguments. I seek to establish how high-status musical instruments, and other material embodiments of music, were made as decorative art in order to respond to the metaphors of humanist virtue embedded in the performing of music. Crucially, this proposed research is intended to explore underlying Renaissance philosophies that underpin these claims. This is a little explored area in the field of musical instruments where 'organology' has chiefly observed the technology of their making.

我提出的项目旨在发展对文艺复兴文化中个人音乐表演本质的新理解。我试图探索乐器是如何为自我塑造和展示而制作的，为个人音乐成就中所蕴含的美德提供了永久的可见性。我打算把重点放在英国文艺复兴时期的法庭上，作为我对更广泛的欧洲现象的证据，因为英国是这些文艺复兴理想的热情后来者，因为有一个令人信服的证据体（如幸存的乐器和所有权的证据）来发展这些论点。我试图建立高地位的乐器，以及其他音乐的物质体现，是如何作为装饰艺术制作的，以回应音乐表演中嵌入的人文主义美德的隐喻。至关重要的是，这项拟议的研究旨在探索支撑这些主张的潜在文艺复兴哲学。这是乐器领域中一个很少被探索的领域，“器官学”主要是观察它们的制造技术。
