Class attendance/participation

Students are expected to attend every class; please do not schedule conflicting activities.

Please let the instructor know beforehand by e-mail if you are forced to miss a class. Members of the class are expected to participate actively in class discussions and to be fully prepared to do so every time.

Assignments for each class

Most meetings will be led (in shorter or longer segments) by members of the seminar based on assignments carried out beforehand in consultation with the instructor.
Final paper and presentation

The last meetings of the seminar will be devoted to presentations by members of the class. At the first meeting we will establish dates for the presentations. Presentations will be based on research papers circulated in advance to the members of the seminar. This means that completed papers need to be submitted in electronic form one week before the date of the presentation.

GRADING

3. Meeting of 29 January. Music printing and publishing

Assignment: Description of a 17th-century German book in the Lilly Library

Choose a handpress-era book from the Lilly Library's collection and make a basic bibliographic description according to standard principles, including title and imprint, format and collation, contents, signing and pagination.

Things to note:

1. The Library's holdings are not fully included in IUCAT; you should investigate other catalogues and finding aids.

2. As in any library, you may not subject a book to the kind of physical examination necessary for this kind of study (especially prying into the binding or holding it up to determine the orientation of chainlines in the paper) without the permission of a librarian. For this reason, you will need to choose a book and then ask Joel Silver, Curator of Books, for permission to examine it if its condition allows. Be sure to read the Library's guide to the use of its materials at http://www.indiana.edu/%7eliblilly/text/using.html.

3. Please write up your description (1 page should suffice) and prepare copies for each member of the seminar.

2. Original print: musical contents

Make an inventory of the music in the collection, including scoring, text sources, key. Be prepared to discuss the organization of the print in relation to these various points. Into what categories can the works be divided (by scoring, use of forces, text, genre)?

3. Original print: physical features

Make an collation of the printed edition from the microfilm copy and notes on the contents of each part. In exactly what part are the various lines of each piece presented? What are the various uses of the capella (ripieno parts) in different pieces, and how are these lines represented in the printed music? The instrumental parts?

4. Examples for musical study

"Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen" SWV 29, "Ich hebe meine Augen auf" SWV 31 [texts and translations here; scores in notebook].

6. Meeting of 19 February

I would to continue our close examination of the pieces in the Psalmen Davids. In particular, I am interested in the various ways Schütz uses performing forces--especially singers beyond the eight typically represented in the principal vocal parts and instrumentalists--and the way they are presented in the parts.

What are the various uses of additional voices? What are the various roles of the capellae? Devise a typology of pieces according to their use of additional parts. How are these additional voices realized in the printed parts?

How are instruments specified and used? To what pieces and parts do Schütz’s instructions about instruments in his preface apply? How are the trumpet and drum parts notated? What do historical sources have to say about their realization?
