Egidius De Francia
Egidius de Francia (; also Egidius de Murino or Magister Frater Egidius) was a French music theorist of medieval music, known for the short treatise ''De motettis componendis''. He possibly was an Augustinian friar, as in a miniature illumination he is titled ''Magister Egidius Augustinus''. Along with "Guilelmus de Francia", he was probably a friar at the Monastery of Santo Spirito in Florence. Egidius de Murino is, with Philippus de Caserta, one possible author of the '' Tractatus figurarum,'' a practical guide to the notation of ''ars subtilior.'' Egidius was also the author of '' De modo componendi,'' a theoretical guide to motet writing. He is featured in the ''Squarcialupi Codex'', the British Library manuscript Add MS 29987 and the ''Modena Codex'' (often known with the sigla ''ModA''). He is considered as likely being distinct from another Egidius, who was a contemporary Italian poet. No composition can be certainly attributed to him, although he is potentially identif ...

Medieval Music
Medieval music encompasses the sacred and secular music of Western Europe during the Middle Ages, from approximately the 6th to 15th centuries. It is the first and longest major era of Western classical music and followed by the Renaissance music; the two eras comprise what musicologists generally term as early music, preceding the common practice period. Following the traditional division of the Middle Ages, medieval music can be divided into Early (500–1150), High (1000–1300), and Late (1300–1400) medieval music. Medieval music includes liturgical music used for the church, and secular music, non-religious music; solely vocal music, such as Gregorian chant and choral music (music for a group of singers), solely instrumental music, and music that uses both voices and instruments (typically with the instruments accompanying the voices). Gregorian chant was sung by monks during Catholic Mass. The Mass is a reenactment of Christ's Last Supper, intended to provide a ...

Year Of Death Unknown
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the mea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chantilly Codex
The Chantilly Codex (''Chantilly, Musée Condé MS 564'') is a manuscript of medieval music containing pieces from the style known as the ''Ars subtilior''. It is held in the museum at the Château de Chantilly in Chantilly, Oise. Most of the compositions in the Chantilly Codex date from c. 1350–1400. There are 112 pieces total, mostly by French composers, and all of them polyphonic. The codex contains examples of many of the most popular courtly dance styles of its time, such as ballades, rondeaus, virelais, and isorhythmic motets. Some of the motets are rhythmically extremely complex, and are written in intricately exact musical notation. Two pieces by Baude Cordier were added at a slightly later date at the front of the manuscript, and use unusual shapes to reflect their musical contents. The piece "Belle, Bonne, Sage, Plaisant" (image right) was written to a special lady for the New Year, and reflects the shape of the notation with the text (Lovely, good, wise, and pleasant ...

Egidius (Chantilly Codex Composer)
Egidius, sometimes Magister Egidius, (c. 1350-1400?) is an ''ars subtilior'' composer found in the ''Chantilly Codex'' and the ''Modena Codex.'' Works attributed to "Egidius" in the ''Chantilly Codex'' comprise the ballades ''Roses et lis'' and ''Courtois et sage,'' dedicated to Pope Clement VII in Avignon. He is potentially identifiable with Egidius de Murino Egidius de Francia (; also Egidius de Murino or Magister Frater Egidius) was a French music theorist of medieval music, known for the short treatise ''De motettis componendis''.

Poet
A poet is a person who studies and creates poetry. Poets may describe themselves as such or be described as such by others. A poet may simply be the creator ( thinker, songwriter, writer, or author) who creates (composes) poems (oral or written), or they may also perform their art to an audience. The work of a poet is essentially one of communication, expressing ideas either in a literal sense (such as communicating about a specific event or place) or metaphorically. Poets have existed since prehistory, in nearly all languages, and have produced works that vary greatly in different cultures and periods. Throughout each civilization and language, poets have used various styles that have changed over time, resulting in countless poets as diverse as the literature that (since the advent of writing systems) they have produced. History In Ancient Rome, professional poets were generally sponsored by patrons, wealthy supporters including nobility and military officials. For inst ...

Scribal Abbreviation
Scribal abbreviations or sigla (grammatical number, singular: siglum) are abbreviations used by ancient and medieval scribes writing in various languages, including Latin, Greek language, Greek, Old English and Old Norse. In modern manuscript editing (substantive and mechanical) sigla are the symbols used to indicate the source manuscript (e.g. variations in text between different such manuscripts) and to identify the copyists of a work. History Abbreviated writing, using sigla, arose partly from the limitations of the workable nature of the materials (rock (geology), stone, metal, parchment, etc.) employed in record-making and partly from their availability. Thus, lapidary, lapidaries, engravers, and copyists made the most of the available writing space. Scribal abbreviations were infrequent when writing materials were plentiful, but by the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, writing materials were scarce and costly. During the Roman Republic, several abbreviations, known as sigla (p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Modena Codex
The Modena Codex (''Modena, Biblioteca Estense, α.m.5,24''; often referred to with the siglum Mod A) is an early fifteenth-century Italian manuscript of medieval music. The manuscript is one of the most important sources of the ''ars subtilior'' style of music. It is held in the Biblioteca Estense library in Modena. The precise origin of Mod A is controversial, with Pavia/Milan, Pisa and Bologna all being proposed. Firm evidence of ownership of the book by the Biblioteca Estense only occurs in the early nineteenth century, although a 1495 catalogue of the Este family library in Ferrara might refer to it. It was rediscovered by the philologist Antonio Cappelli in 1868. Excluding flyleaves and modern additions, Mod A comprises 51 parchment folios divided into five gatherings. The first and last gatherings are decorated in a simpler style from the central gatherings and mostly contain the works of Matteo da Perugia, while the middle three gatherings contain works by a more varied ...
