Cantum Pulcriorem invenire - Thirteenth-Century Latin Poetry and Music: Workshop, Performance and Impact (CPI-III)

“Cantum pulcriorem invenire - 13世纪拉丁诗歌和音乐：研讨会，表演和影响”采用了从ahrc资助的“Cantum pulcriorem invenire: 13世纪拉丁诗歌和音乐”项目（CPI-I，从2010年到2014年）中获得的知识，并与原始项目几乎没有机会产生任何影响的社区进行接触。最初的研究开始于一个前提，即在漫长的13世纪（公元1170年至公元1320年），出现了三种连贯的复调音乐曲目：称为organum的礼拜圣歌的背景，最初源自organum部分的赞美诗和指挥。在过去的150年里，风琴和圣歌一直是音乐学研究的主题，令人印象深刻，而指挥——尽管它是新创作的复调的第一个连续曲目——在某种程度上仍然处于阴影之中。虽然汇编已经编目，但在这些书目基础上的工作很少，尽管非常杰出。因此，指挥站在这个项目的中心，将拉丁诗歌和音乐融合在一个流派中。原始项目中那些将表演作为影响途径的部分是通过CD工作室录音来实现的。利用在中世纪复调演奏方面有着无与伦比的记录的世界级表演者，并以PI在这一领域的经验为基础，CPI-I通过将问题的各种解决方案带入表演舞台，并与商业标签一起录制CD，研究了指挥中的节奏和节拍问题。这不仅非常成功，而且还带来了一些现场音乐会的预订和一些研讨会活动。从这个特别的工作中，很明显，通过创新和创造性的方法来互动研讨会，可以大规模地增强项目的影响。目前的项目提出了八个活动，每个活动包括一个互动研讨会和一个正式的音乐会。对项目产生影响的关键途径是双重的：伙伴关系网络和一系列创新研讨会。该项目受益于8个合作伙伴，其中5个在英国，3个在欧洲大陆：布莱顿、剑桥、达勒姆、爱丁堡、约克、巴塞罗那、尼德奥尔姆和Radovljica。我们所有的音乐会发起人或音乐节经理不仅要负责发展观众，还要负责发展公众与其他机构的互动；他们是寻求增强其影响力的研究项目的理想合作伙伴。我们正在提议一系列研讨会，探索各种途径，与那些不仅仅购买原始研究制作的cd的社区进行接触。为了做到这一点，我们将探讨符号、表演、诗歌和音乐创作的问题，以及介绍讲座独奏会和类似活动的特点。该项目的一个关键部分是监测、评估和记录研究产生的影响。我们的主要工具是匿名问卷、一对一访谈和视频录制；这些文件和他们的分析将成为项目的永久遗产，并将被安装在项目网站上，作为材料和提示其他希望承担类似工作的团队。

'Cantum pulcriorem invenire - Thirteenth-Century Latin Poetry and Music: Workshop, Performance and Impact' takes the knowledge that has been gained from the AHRC-funded 'Cantum pulcriorem invenire: Thirteenth-Century Latin Poetry and Music' project (CPI-I, which ran from 2010 to 2014), and engages with communities on which the original project had little opportunity to make any impact. The original research started from the premise that the long thirteenth century (c1170 to c1320) saw the emergence of three coherent repertories of polyphonic music: settings of liturgical chant called organum, motets that were originally derived from parts of organum and the conductus. Organum and the motet have been the subject of impressive levels of musicological study in the last 150 years whereas the conductus - despite its status as the first consistent repertory of newly-composed polyphony - has remained somewhat in the shadows. While the repertory has been catalogued, little work, although very distinguished, has been built on these bibliographical foundations. The conductus therefore stands at the centre of this project, merging Latin poetry and music in a single genre.Those parts of the original project that engaged with performance as a path to impact did so via CD studio recordings. Using world-class performers with an unrivalled track record in the performance of medieval polyphony, and building on the PI's experience in this area, CPI-I investigated the questions of rhythm and metre in the conductus by bringing various solutions to the question into a performative arena and creating recordings on CD with a commercial label. Not only was this very successful, but it also engendered a number of live concert bookings coupled to some workshop activity. From this ad hoc work, it became clear that there was real scope for massively enhancing the impact of the project through innovative and creative approaches to interactive workshops. The current project proposes eight events that each consist of an interactive workshop and a formal concert.The key pathways to impact for the project are twofold: a network of partnerships and a series of innovative workshops. The project benefits from eight partners, five in the UK and three in continental Europe: Brighton, Cambridge, Durham, Edinburgh, York, Barcelona, Nieder-Olm and Radovljica. All our concert promoters or festival managers have responsibilities not just for developing audiences but for developing public engagement with other bodies; they are ideal partners for a research project seeking to enhance its impact. We are proposing a series of workshops that will explore various routes to engage with communities that extend beyond those who simply buy the CDs produced by the original research. To do this we will approach questions of notation, performance, poetic and musical composition as well as presenting introductions that characterise lecture recitals and similar sorts of events.A critical part of the project is the monitoring, evaluation and documentation of the impact that the research makes. Our central tools are the anonymous questionnaire, the one-to-one interview and the video recording; these documents and their analysis will form the lasting legacy of the project, and will be mounted on the project website to serve as materials and a prompt for other ensembles wishing to undertake similar work.
