Testo completoSince we are interested in the 13th-century, the motet is the musical example most frequently called to illustrate the rationalization of the medieval thought. Therefore, this one joins with difficulty in the standardized frame of a polyphonic continuity.Nevertheless, the motet is a passage, necessary and passing, between the organum and the contrapuntal polyphony of the 14th-century. The music which ensues from it aggravates the technique of the discant while keeping the melodic originality of every voice.It’s the difficulty appropriate for any median place: preserve, reproduce, modify, to pass on then the congeal on a leaf of parchment. In the case of the motet, the main questioning concerns the possibility of realizing one polyphonic completely measured work in which remains one, even some, melodic wefts extending the “style formulaire” of organa. Does the musical analysis allow to identify the various compositional gestures of the motet? In other words, we can be made a precise idea of the motet at the 13th-century from the only written sources concerning them and to build a coherent emic analytical model?The ambition of this study is to identify the normative elements of the motet in the 13th-century and to determine, between the lines, the gestures of inventiveness of each of ten analyzed parts. It’s by the implementation of a standard, presently renewed by the musical invention, in the medieval sense, that it’s possible to reconstitute the motet within its sociocultural environment

Testo completoSeveral motets---Tota pulchra es by Ludwig Senfl, Tota pulchra es by Nicolaus Craen, Nigra sum sed formosa by Johannis Lheritier, and the anonymous Vulnerasti cor meum from Petrucci's Motetti de la Corona I print---will be analyzed through the lens of the historical Christian exegesis and generic considerations of the motet. I interpret diverse musical parameters---among them, texture, quotation of pre-existent material, motivic structuring, cadential manipulation, mode and modal commixture---as some of the ways in which the composers responded to their Song of Songs texts.

Testo completoLa série de quatorze volumes de motets par Pierre Attaingnant (1534-1539) fut une réalisation monumentale dans l'impression de la musique, démontrant des approches novatrices dans son organisation et dépassant de loin, en taille et en structure, les quatre séries de motets imprimées plus tôt par Petrucci, Antico et Moderne. La première partie de ma thèse fournit un contexte historique pour la série de motets. Le premier chapitre passe en revue les premières années du règne de François Ier et les institutions de musique à la cour. Le deuxième chapitre décrit l'état du motet en France au XVIe siècle, et les débuts de l'impression de la musique. Je compare ensuite, au troisième chapitre, les quatre «prédécesseurs» à la série d'Attaingnant et soutiens que bien qu'il y avait un ensemble de conventions vagues pour la série de motets imprimée avant 1534, la plupart des caractéristiques variaient d'un imprimeur à l'autre et d'un livre à l'autre. La deuxième partie offre un premier aperçu de la série d'Attaingnant comme un produit construit et examine quatre aspects principaux: le format et la présentation (chapitre 4), les compositeurs, les concordances et les marchés propres à la série (chapitre 5) ainsi que les rubriques (chapitre 6), et les sources des textes des motets (chapitre 7). Par l'entremise d'une étude des aspects physiques de la série et des différentes approches organisationnelles utilisées par Attaingnant (chapitre 4), j'illustre que la série d'Attaingnant était remarquablement standardisée, et conçu comme un produit unique et cohérent. La discussion des soixante compositeurs nommés (chapitre 5) examine la répartition des motets entre deux principaux groupes de compositeurs (le bien connu et le peu connu), et souligne des liens supplémentaires entre la série et la cour royale française. Une étude des concordances des motets de ces compositeurs révèle un grand nombre d'unica, soulignant l'importance de la série pour la préservation du répertoire, y compris les seules œuvres survivantes pour un petit nombre de compositeurs que j'appelle les «Compositeurs Attaingnant». En utilisant les concordances pour les motets d'un seul livre, ainsi que les détails sur les six exemplaires survivants de la série j'examine le marché pour la série et suggère des types probables de propriétaires de ces livres. Je me concentre ensuite sur une caractéristique unique de la série, l'utilisation de rubriques dans les titres de livres et dans les motets individuelles (chapitre 6). Les rubriques sont de courtes phrases latines que l'imprimeur fournit afin d'identifier les occasions possibles de représentation pour les motets et les sujets des textes de motets, elles lient la série à la liturgie et aux livres d'heures. Poussé par les liens des rubriques à la liturgie et livres d'heures, j'étudie le contexte dans lequel la série a été vendue à Paris, plus précisément la boutique de la rue de la Harpe, et j'explore une connexion de longue date entre les livres d'heures et la boutique qui appartenait auparavant à Philippe Pigouchet, beau-père de Pierre Attaingnant, et l'un des imprimeurs principaux de livres d'heures à Paris. Le chapitre 7 fournit une étude approfondie des textes des 281 motets, dans laquelle j'identifie les sources de ces textes, et je démontre que ces textes étaient liés à la fois à la liturgie et aux livres d'heures. Dans le dernier chapitre (8) je revisite la question de la fonction du motet au XVIe siècle à la lumière de mes conclusions, et affirment que le format, le contenu, les rubriques et les textes de la série indiquent une fonction polyvalente pour le motet et la série dans son ensemble. Je conclus que la série de Pierre Attaingnant, avec son mélange de compositeurs célèbres et obscurs, sa large gamme de texte en latin et ses liens à la fois à la liturgie et aux livres d'heures, est mieux comprise comme une encyclopédie de la musique sacrée qui reflète ce qui était chanté à Paris, permettant l'imitation par tous.

Testo completoThis dissertation constitutes a material study of the four-voice motet prints published in Venice by Ottaviano Petrucci between 1502 and 1505. These prints, Motetti A, Motetti de passione de cruce de sacramento de beata virgine et huiusmodi, Motetti C and Motetti Libro Quarto, coincided with a burgeoning silent reading culture that was interested in and attuned to devotional reading—particularly as it was made available through books of hours (horae)—and thus, represented a new opportunity for early sixteenth-century singers, readers, and collectors. This dissertation considers how the relationship between motet print, reader and horae might have encouraged a devotional attitude from readers and singers of these volumes.
Chapter 1 considers horae, late medieval reading practice, and the intertwined relationship between reading and prayer. Many of the material aspects of the prints—especially size and mise-en-page ("page layout")—are similar to those of contemporaneous books of hours (horae) and their likeness might have encouraged a reading posture that resonated with devotional reading. Additionally, pictorial evidence is presented that suggests that by the mid-sixteenth century at least one family may have considered printed music in this manner.
Chapter 2 takes the page as a formal starting point and, building upon the work of Gérard Genette and Bonnie Mak, extends the discussion of materiality to considerations of paratexts. Here, a nuanced reading of the mise-en-page, which considers the page layout, typeface, musical font, and table of contents (tavolae), reveals a web of intellectual and devotional associations available to a contemporary reader of Petrucci's four-voice Venetian motet prints.
Chapter 3 explores the relationship between the page and the music-making that the page enabled and considers these through a study of a uniquely musical paratext—the fermata. Analytic apparatus advanced by both Robert Hatten and Bonnie Blackburn reveals that the concept of markedness as it relates to the visual, oral, and aural aspects of the page allows for all the elements of the page to coalesce in a manner uniquely familiar and meaningful to the devotionally attuned reader/singer of Petrucci's prints.
In analyzing the material and paratextual features of Petrucci's motet prints, this dissertation engages with an array of theoretical, analytical, and historical frameworks. It simultaneously positions Petrucci's prints within a multivalent world of reading, printing, publishing, and singing and ultimately situates the prints within the realm of devotional activities.

Testo completoThis thesis is founded on the corpus of french “grands motets” which are part of the collection of the Lyon public library, and tries to explain the question of musical practice in Lyon in the 18th century. The ninety-nine manuscripts and engraved sources conserved in the collection are scores and material which come mostly from the ancient “académie des beaux-arts”, also known as Concert. The first part of the thesis presents the context of Grand motet performances in Lyon, namely the Concert, which was active from 1713 to 1773, the short-lived “académie des Jacobins”, the yearly ceremony of the vow for salvation of the king Louis XV, and also public festivities and spiritual concerts. The corpus of motets conserved in Lyon is the subject of a rigorous analysis: the second part is dedicated to the catalogue of the Concert, the musical support (music papers, watermarks and musical handwritings) and to musical elements which appeared in the sources. The third part presents Lyon’s repertory of the motet genre. Half of the corpus is made up of Lalande’s works; most of the composers are from the Court or the capital, but there are musicians from other French provinces (Pétouille, Valette de Montigny, …) and also from Lyon (Estienne, Bergiron du Fort-Michon, Belouard…). The specific nature of the treatment of the motet in Lyon is brought to the fore by a comparison of the sources, while local particularities appear, like the composition by “fragments”. This study shows that if Lyonnais music belonged to its time, it nevertheless developed its own characteristics

Testo completoAbout thirty compositions attributed to Hesdin (masses, motets, Magnificat and chansons) are included in plenty of musical sources copied or edited during the sixteenth-century, in France, Italy and the Netherlands. However, nothing is known about the biography and the career of this composer. Among the many hypothesis proposed on Hesdin’s identity, none is based on objectives informations. This study attemps to offer an overview as comprehensive as possible of Hesdin, through the study of his compositions, of the diffusion of the musical sources and of the reception of Hesdin’s music during the centuries. The style of his music reveals clear links to the compositions of other composers of the first half of the sixteenth-century, Josquin, Willaert and Gombert above all. Moreover, it shows that the toponym « Hesdin » may possibly hide two different composers.The final section of this study is devoted to the critical edition of the whole corpus ascribed to Hesdin.

Testo completoThirteenth-Century motets composed on the response Stirps Jesse belong to a great exegetical, iconographical and musical tradition well-known as the « Tree of Jesse ». The response, which is possibly composed by Fulbert of Chartres (d. 1028), express the relationships between Mary and her Son. It calls to mind one of the most important Christian believes as the flesh Embodiment of God thanks to the Virgin which is one of the most important Christian dogmas. The Stirps Jesse, or more often the second part of the verse FLOS FILIUS EJUS, is rhythmically organized in order to create a textual and musical polyphony. The melody, the lengths of musical phrases and of the line of the upper part depend intimately on this quotation or tenor. Even if the tenor is of great influence on the polyphony, this study demonstrates that the textual structure of the upper part corresponds to the musical organization in the two-part motets on FLOS FILIUS EJUS in the manuscript W2. The relationships between poem and melody are built on the close connection between the structural organization of the text and of the melody thanks to the melodic patterns (colores), register and rhythms

Testo completoAnthonioz, Anne-Marie. "Houdar de La Motte : auteur tragique". Paris 4, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA040039.
Testo completoHoudar de La Motte is a well-known poet in the french literature by fables, odes and the translation of the Iliade that boosted up again "la querelle des Anciens et des modernes" in the years 1714-1715. He is less known as a tragic dramatist, nevertheless, he wrote four tragedies which were successsfull : les Macchabées (1721), Romulus (1722), Ines de Castro (1723) and Oedipe (1726). We have drawn a portrait of la Motte, pointing out the most important steps of his life, his carreer and his work. In parallel of his tragedies, he wrote some "discours" in which he formed new theories about dramatic art and he proposed, in the same way, some important reforms as writing a new tragedy in prose form. We have studied the arrangement of the tragedies, their sources, the different classes of characters and the political, moral or sentimental and religious themes. All theses themes, as we know, have given the touch of brightness and interest to the dramatic art of this century, a study of the poet's style completes this work. Our point was to promote this author unfairly forgotten, using a new sensibility and more pathetism, Houdar de La Motte gave the new way to the tragedy and by this fact he may be recognized as a forerunner of the romanticists
