Hi again,
So we have a new reading this week.
Edward Roesner, "Who 'Made' the 'Magnus Liber'?" Early Music History 20 (2001): 227-266.
We will be having the same time as last week: Wednesday, 28 July, 6:30pm
and the same place: Barriques Downtown.
The reading can be found here.

Some questions that I wondered about while reading:
ReplyDelete1. Are there other important documents that we use in teaching music history that we take out of context like that of Anon IV?
2. Roesner discusses small musical gestures as an essential part of understanding this music. How has this importance on small musical gestures fluctuated over time? Or has it? My initial though is that it has: to an extent it seems important in Ren polyphony and of course musica poetica is all about small musical gestures and I guess set theory(? I can't think of what it's called, 014 etc) also seems interested in small units.
