I am an Italian musicologist and I am presently working at the edition of Gaspar van Weerbeke's music.

I am specifically interested in liturgical aspects and Gregorian chant, especially in connection with questions related to Gaspar's music (identification of melodies, function of particular texts in devotional or liturgical contexts and so on).

At the moment I am looking for evidence about the use and diffusion of an antiphon included in an office after the usage of Paris, which Weerbeke used as cantus firmus in a motet.

For these reasons I would like to know where and/or if the Parisian liturgy of Notre Dame, actually a particular office, was adopted in North France and Flanders apart from the court of Burgund (Philipp the Good etc).

Any piece of news or information for example about online sources from Musicologie médiévale is helpful for me.

Thanks!

Bonjour, voici un appel à contributions pour une rencontre destinée aux "post-graduate students", si vous connaissez des personnes pouvant être intéressées

> Rethinking Medieval Liturgy: New Approaches across Disciplines
> 18–19 June 2010, London
>
> The study of medieval liturgy has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. As the lines between various kinds of cultural studies have become increasingly blurred, musicologists, art historians, literary scholars, and historians have realised its centrality and importance. Liturgy provides fundamental insights into the experience of worship and devotion in the middle ages, as the medium through which religious ideas were transmitted. There is now a need, we believe, to find coherent expression and a voice for the emerging generation of students of the liturgy, by breaking institutional and disciplinary boundaries, and by bringing so-called para-liturgical genres, such as drama, hagiography, and sermons, as well as art and architecture, back into their liturgical contexts.
>
> To this purpose, we are holding a two-day international workshop for post-graduate students from a variety of disciplines on the subject of medieval liturgy. It will include a training session in recent developments of liturgical studies, led by acclaimed professor Susan Boynton of the Department of Music at Columbia University. Proposals are invited from researchers who are engaged in or have recently finished their post-graduate studies.
>
> Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
> - Theories of ritual and their application to medieval liturgy
> - Musicology and music history
> - Art and architecture as related to liturgy
> - Worship and devotion as cultural phenomena
> - Liturgy in the history of religious institutions
> - Christianization and reform
> - Liturgy and material culture
> - The social role of liturgy
> - Hagiography, sermons and drama – in their liturgical contexts
> - Manuscripts and the representation of liturgical texts
>
> Papers will be 20 min. in length. Individual paper proposals (papers and proposals should be in English) to a maximum of 300 words should be sent by 1 March, 2010 to:
>
> Kati Ihnat (Queen Mary, University of London): kati_ihnat@yahoo.ca
> or
> Erik Niblaeus (King’s College London): erik.niblaeus@kcl.ac.uk
>
> If you have other queries concerning the workshop, please do not hesitate to contact either of the above.
>
> The workshop will take place in London at the Lock-keeper’s Cottage, Queen Mary, University of London, E1 4NS, from Friday June 18 (10am) to Saturday June 19 (5pm) 2010. Application for AHRC funding pending.

Cambridge University Press is inviting expressions of interest for the position of Co-Editor of Plainsong and Medieval Music

Plainsong & Medieval Music is published twice a year in association with the Plainsong and Medieval Music Society and Cantus Planus, a study group of the International Musicological Society. The journal covers the entire spectrum of medieval music: Eastern and Western chant, secular lyric, music theory, palaeography, performance practice, and medieval polyphony, both sacred and secular, as well as the history of musical institutions. The chronological scope of the journal extends from late antiquity to the early Renaissance and to the present day in the case of chant.

Dr Helen Deeming will be stepping down as Co-Editor of Plainsong and Medieval Music in Autumn 2010. In order to ensure a smooth transition, we are now inviting applications from those interested in taking on this position for an initial term of four years. The new Co-Editor will? shadow? Dr Deeming from August 2010, and will work alongside Professor James Borders (University of Michigan).

Anyone wishing to express interest in this position is invited to send a brief CV and a short statement outlining the qualities they can bring to the post to the Chair of the Search Committee and to Cambridge University Press at the email addresses below.

A job specification and outline of the annual editorial timetable are available on request from Sally Hoffmann (shoffmann@cambridge.org). Financial support in the form of an annual editorial stipend will be available from Cambridge University Press. Enquiries about this, or any other contractual issues, should also be made to Sally Hoffmann.

Expressions of interest should be submitted by 15 February 2010. It is anticipated that Cambridge University Press will make an appointment by the end of April 2010. In order to maintain geographical balance in the journal?s editorship, we would prefer to appoint a candidate based in the UK or in Europe.

Hello all! I'm currently finishing my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto. For the past year I've been a research assistant on the Becket Project and my main area of research at the moment is notation, primarily in the various sources containing the Office of Thomas Becket, both square and the handful which use adiastematic notation.
