Cristóbal de Morales and the early modern Magnificat

该项目的目的是描绘早期现代伟大的历史依赖于克里斯托巴尔的莫拉莱斯伟大的循环，14个版本，迄今为止最广泛的Canticum设置在16世纪的欧洲。这项研究遵循了一个指导性的假设，即莫拉莱斯的周期在国际上广受欢迎的原因在于作品本身，许多当代文献中归因于周期的原型人物是各种作曲模型融合的结果，莫拉莱斯从他在塞维利亚和罗马获得的广泛的伟大剧目中获得了各种作曲模型。在第一步中，将分析莫拉莱斯大典与15世纪和16世纪初保存在西班牙和罗马来源的大典传统的关系。其次，我们将考察莫拉莱斯周期在多大程度上成为后世伟大作曲家的原型。由于16世纪后期意大利和西班牙的理论论文经常提到莫拉莱斯的伟大，可以获得分析的标准，这将被应用于追踪他的Cantica在16世纪下半叶的创作接受。根据传播他的版画所绘制的接待地形图，将分析西班牙语、意大利罗马人和德国人对莫拉莱斯作为榜样的依赖程度。通过这样做，不仅可以在大量但经验明显的作曲借用谱系的基础上描绘早期现代伟大的历史，也可以突出莫拉莱斯作为约斯昆和帕莱斯特里纳之间的历史关键人物的作用，以及西班牙作曲家在早期欧洲音乐史上长期被忽视的显赫地位。

The aim of the given project is to depict the history of the early modern Magnificat depending on Cristóbal de Morales Magnificat cycle, with 14 editions the by far most wide-spread setting of the Canticum in 16th century Europe. The study follows the guiding assumption that the reason for the enormous international popularity of his cycle lies within the composition itself and that the archetypal character ascribed to the cycle in many contemporary documents was the result of a merging of various compositional models Morales drew from the extensive Magnificat repertoire he had access to in Seville and Rome. In a first step Morales Magnificat will be analyzed regarding their relation to 15th and early 16th century Magnificat traditions preserved in Spanish and Roman sources. Second it will be examined to what extend Morales cycle served as an archetype for succeeding Magnificat composers. As late 16th century Italian and Spanish theory treatises frequently refer to Magnificat of Morales, criteria for analysis can be obtained, that will be applied to trace the compositional reception of his Cantica in the second half of the 16th century. According to a reception topography drawn from the dissemination of his prints Spanish, Italo-Roman and German Magnificat will be analyzed in regard of their dependence on Morales as a model. By doing so the history of the early modern Magnificat can not only be depicted on the basis of a vast and yet empirically evident genealogy of compositional borrowing, the role of Morales as a historical key figure between Josquin and Palestrina can also be highlighted as can the long neglected eminence of Spanish composers in early European music history.
