Tudor Partbooks: the manuscript legacies of John Sadler, John Baldwin and their antecedents

“都铎Partbooks”有两个主要目标：从16世纪20年代到16世纪80年代，特别是通过出版恢复和重建的关键手稿传真，改变公众和学术对都铎音乐资源的访问;并通过回答一些关键的研究问题来促进我们对这些手稿及其古地理和上下文相互关系的理解，这些问题只能通过此项目创建的异常文档访问权限。实现这些目标的前提是对亨利八世和他的女儿伊丽莎白一世一生中的英语复调来源进行数字化。待调查的手稿包括：16世纪早期的唱诗班书籍（已经数字化）;亨利王朝时期的部分书籍集《福雷斯特-海瑟集》、《皇家附录45-8》和《彼得豪斯集》;爱德华王朝时期的集《卢姆利集》和《万利集》。但主要的见证人是16世纪60年代和80年代之间复制的一组埃克塞特集：鲍德温，道，吉法德，哈蒙德和萨德勒。这些partbooks是都铎复调传统的主要见证人，但在他们保存的许多作品已经完成几十年后被复制，这引起了人们对他们作为早期实践见证人的可靠性的怀疑。都铎Partbooks将分析整个十六世纪的数据，以提供客观的证据来解决这个问题。通过对16世纪至16世纪80年代的记谱语法的研究，以及对手稿本身的详细和方法学上一致的研究，建立一个全面的数字图像库将使这一工作得以进行。都铎Partbooks将通过一系列出版物实现其主要目标，这些出版物将反过来实现更广泛的次要目标，开发数字和印刷格式的潜力。中世纪音乐数字图像档案馆（www.example.com）的数字图像在线出版www.diamm.ac.uk将使公众免费获得所有主要来源;两个传真版本将部署研究小组的技术专长（在严重腐蚀的萨德勒partbooks的数字修复），以及其在重建不完整的复调的经验（通过合作为Baldwin partbooks创建一本替代Tenor图书）;进一步的产出将包括都铎抄写实践的博士论文，十六世纪早期复调的两个版本，关于复调重建的方法和原则的合作书籍，都铎手稿文化的背景研究，详细的来源研究，并在线传播项目成果（关于符号的VLE、关于数字修复的播客以及为重建讲习班准备的其他材料）。项目团队已经获得了大英图书馆和Bodleian图书馆的合作，这两个图书馆是与本项目相关的手稿的主要持有者，作为项目合作伙伴，项目团队还获得了DIAMM的合作，以实现主要机构知识库以外资源的数字化。所有图像将通过diamm.ac.uk在线交付，无需为此项目支付额外费用。英国学院和Oundle国际音乐节也同意作为项目合作伙伴加入;国际知名的声乐合奏Stile Antico将作为项目合作伙伴。

'Tudor Partbooks' has two main objectives: to transform public and scholarly access to Tudor musical sources from the 1520s to the 1580s, particularly through the publication of restored and reconstructed facsimiles of key manuscripts; and to advance our understanding of this corpus of manuscripts and their palaeographical and contextual interrelationships by answering a number of key research questions that can only be addressed with the exceptional document access created by this project. Achieving these objectives is predicated upon digitization of the English polyphonic sources from the lifetimes of Henry VIII and his daughter Elizabeth I. The manuscripts to be investigated include: early sixteenth-century choirbooks (already digitized); Henrician partbook sets Forrest-Heyther, Royal Appendix 45-8 and Peterhouse; and the Edwardian sets Lumley and Wanley. But the central witnesses are a cluster of Elizabethan sets copied between the 1560s and the 1580s: Baldwin, Dow, Gyffard, Hamond and Sadler. These partbooks are the dominant witnesses to the Tudor polyphonic tradition, but were copied several decades after many of the works they preserve had been composed, raising doubt as to their reliability as witnesses of earlier practices. Tudor Partbooks will analyse data from across the sixteenth century in order to provide objective evidence with which to address this question. The creation of a comprehensive bank of digital images will enable this to be undertaken through an investigation into notational syntax from the 1500s to the 1580s, alongside a detailed and methodologically consistent study of the manuscripts themselves.Tudor Partbooks will achieve its principal objectives through a range of publications which will in turn fulfil a wider range of secondary aims, exploiting the potential of both digital and print formats. Online publication of digital images at the Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music (www.diamm.ac.uk) will give free public access to all the primary sources; two facsimile editions will deploy the research team's technical expertise (in the digital restoration of the badly corroded Sadler partbooks), and its experience in the reconstruction of incomplete polyphony (through the collaborative creation of a replacement Tenor book for the Baldwin partbooks); further outputs will include a PhD thesis on Tudor scribal practices, two editions of early sixteenth-century polyphony, a collaborative book on methodologies and principles of polyphonic reconstruction, contextual studies of Tudor manuscript culture, detailed source studies, and online dissemination of project findings (a VLE on notation, podcasts on digital restoration, and additional materials prepared for the reconstruction workshops). The project team have secured the collaboration of the British Library and the Bodleian Library, the major holders of manuscripts relevant to this project as Project Partners, and of DIAMM for digitization of sources outside major institutional repositories. All images will be delivered online through diamm.ac.uk without additional cost to this project. The British Academy and the Oundle International Festival have also consented to join as Project Partners; the internationally-acclaimed vocal ensemble Stile Antico will act as project collaborators.
