Music in the Medieval English Liturgy: Plainsong and Mediaeval Music Society Centennial Essays de Susan Rankin

Music in the Medieval English Liturgy: Plainsong and Mediaeval Music Society Centennial Essays

Editat de Susan Rankin, David Hiley
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 aug 1993
This collection of essays celebrates the work of the Plainsong and Mediaeval Music society and was written in particular to celebrate their centenary. Founded in 1888, the Society quickly established two areas of activity: to propagate information on medieval music and to revitalize the Anglican liturgy with the riches of the plainchant of the Roman Rite.Of the two sides of the Society's activities, the scholarly and the practical, this collection represents the former. The essays reflect the founders' interest in medieval music, both monophonic and polyphonic, and, particularly, their concern with chant. From its inception, the PMMS has directed much of its attention to the British source of medieval music, the music which might contribute to a renewal of the liturgy of the Anglican church, and this is reflected here. The contributors to this volume are among the most distinguished scholars of medieval music of recent years. Their essays are complemented by many music examples and a number of line drawings.

Recenzii

`Many of these papers represent works in progress, and judging by this volume the PMMS has many more years of fruitful publishing ahead of it.'Early Music Today
'Most of these contributions will be of greatest use to specialists, but many raise issues of broader interest: the idiosyncrasies and hallmarks of repertories (and of individual composers), transmission, copying and performance contexts. By providing a new state of research on medieval English liturgical music, the editors have set the stage for the next 100 years of scholarship.'Barbara Haggh, Early Music, May 1994
'a welcome contribution to medieval musical scholarship ... It reveals evidence that important groups of medievalists ... are directing their attention towards the musical remains of England ..., As well as congratulating Dr Rankin and Professor Hiley for the care they have devoted to this important volume, one wishes the Plainsong and Mediaeval Music Society another century of scholarly success in facilitating the careful study of plainsong and the remarkable musical accomplishments of the English Middle Ages.'William J. Summers, Music and Letters, Vol. 75, No. 4, Nov '94
This collection of studies cannot but impress the reader with the constant, sophisticated liturgical and musical initiative in the medieval literagy.
a wealth of valuable information.
finely-edited volume
This volume belatedly commemorates the centenary of 1988 and is of considerable interest and value in its own right. The commemorative volume is a worthy signal that despite changing times there is life yet in the Society and its adherents. As will be seen, several at least of these essays are destined to rank as important contributions to the literature for many years to come, not least because the volume, magnificently prited, is furnished with a very full triple index of manuscript sources, of incipits and titles, and of names.
