La Trobe University Library Medieval Music Database |
This database is a systematic collection of scores, colour images, texts and bibliographic information of medieval music which can be searched by text or melody and which will return musical information in the form of a modern score, text data and, where available, a colour facsimile of an original manuscript. In contains a complete annual cycle of liturgical chant taken from original medieval sources and complete works of selected composers from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries.
Liturgical Chant
The sources of the liturgical chant used in this database are a
fourteen-volume set of corali for Dominican use now
in Perugia (1305-1320), the two exemplars on which
these were based (London, British Library, Additional 23935, c. 1270 and Rome,
Santa Sabina, Ms XIV L1, c. 1260) and the Poissy
Antiphonal (1335-1345), now in the possession of the State Library of Victoria
(Ms *096.1 R66A). These seventeen manuscripts are closely related to each
other, and constitute a reliable source of the state of the liturgical melodies
in use in the fourteenth century by Dominicans throughout
To this foundation collection selected other manuscripts are constantly
being added: the liturgical chant from
Medieval Secular Music
The complete works of important composers such as Francesco Landini (150 works), Don Paolo Tenorista (59 works), and selected works by Jacopo da Bologna, Giovanni da Cascia, Philippe de Vitry and Guillaume de Machaut complement the comprehensive bibliographical data and sound files previously available in Gopher format from The 14th Century Music Database. This has been updated and is presented here in HTML format, superceding the older Gopher database.
