The Early Mass in Music History Between Liturgical Function and Art

在这个项目中，将系统地重新评估弥撒的背景，这是十五和十六世纪的中心音乐类型。作为对个人作品和音乐风格历史的传统分析的补充延伸，将在广泛的经验基础上进行工作，考虑音乐材料和礼仪目的之间的联系。其目的是开发一种新的方法矩阵，以解释早期的复调群众，同时考虑到历史的仪式和虔诚和组成的角度。该项目将分为三个阶段。首先，我们为准备这项工作而开始建立的数据库将完成，然后扩大。这个数据库已经包含了有关时代的每一个幸存的质量，包括出处，现代版本和二手文献的信息。它将通过添加文本、音乐和形式参数来完善。在此基础上，在第二阶段，三篇博士论文和/[或]博士后项目将研究三个大规模语料库，每个语料库都来自明确定义的空间，上下文或文本框架，考虑音乐对这些上下文的反映和反应。最后，在第三阶段，项目负责人（与礼仪历史学家合作）将根据数据库和进一步的背景调查编写一本关于弥撒历史的专著。这本专著将围绕以下几点提供更广泛的大众历史：对预先存在的音乐材料的方法，大众文本的解析，美学价值的增加，忏悔之间的差异，曲目的转移以及与建筑空间的关系。模块4致力于礼仪问题的跨学科研讨会。

In this project the setting of the mass, the central musical genre of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, will be systematically reassessed. As a complementary extension to the traditional analysis of individual works and histories of musical style, there will be worked on a wide empirical basis, considering the connections between musical material and liturgical purpose. The aim is to develop a new methodological matrix for the interpretation of early polyphonic masses that takes both histories of ritual and piety and compositional perspectives into account. The project will be divided into three stages. In the first, a database we began constructing in preparation for this work will be completed and then expanded. This database already contains every surviving mass of the era in question and includes information about provenance, modern editions and secondary literature. It will be refined by adding textual, musical and formal parameters. On this basis, in stage two, three doctoral theses and/[or] postdoctoral projects will examine three mass corpora each emerging from clearly defined spatial, contextual or textual frameworks, considering musical reflection and reaction to these contexts. Finally, in stage three, the project leaders (in cooperation with a historian of liturgy) will write a monograph on the history of the mass based on the database and further contextual investigations. This monograph will offer a wider history of the mass around the following points: approaches to pre-existing musical material, parsing of the mass texts, additions of aesthetic value, differences between confessions, transfer of repertoire and relations to architectural space. Modul 4 is dedicated to interdisciplinary workshops on liturgical questions.
