Drawing upon the close relationship between the medieval arts of rhetoric and music, this study of medieval and early modern literary texts investigates the ways in which music theory, particularly that of Boethius, is a structural presence in writings that are seemingly non-musical--texts that have no accompanying music and do not take music as their main subject matter. An influential intellectual figure for some thousand years after his death, Boethius (d. 524 CE), who is probably now best known for his allegorical dialogue "De consolatione philosophiae" ("The Consolation of Philosophy"), also set forth an influential theory of music in his treatise "De institutione musica" ("The Fundamentals of Music"). Boethian music has often been studied, but the ways in which major medieval and early modern writers incorporated it into non-musical texts have been largely overlooked. Examining the structural application of medieval music theory and performance practices in major and less-studied literary works from England, France, and Italy, I argue that these works demonstrate what I term a "literary aesthetic of 'musica'" that structurally integrates music theories, philosophies, forms, images, and performance practices. For example, in Thomas of Britain's "Tristan," music emphasizes the complications of Iseult's characterization. In Dante's "Commedia," music progressively emulates the souls' purgation in "Purgatorio" and delineates the organization of "Paradiso." In the tales of Chaucer's Knight and Miller, a shared six-part musical structure, hitherto unnoticed, provides an additional link between these two narratives. This aesthetic persists in early modern works as well. In the anonymous "Le Chevalier du Papegau," the 1589 Medici "intermedi," and Spenser's "The Faerie Queene," aspects of music are incorporated to characterize political authority and the functions of authorship and literary reception.These medieval and early modern examples of the afterlife of Boethian music theory illustrate a persistent interest in the interactions between rhetoric, music, and literature. They also foreground additional ways in which Chaucer and Spenser, as major early period British writers, share an intellectual context with their European forebears and contemporaries. Music here supports literary characteristics such as paradox, textual interpretation, authorship, and concerns for the promotion of social order.

Music Theory from Boethius to Zarlino is a companion volume to Music Theory from Zarlino to Schenker: A Bibliography and Guide by David Damschroder and David Russell Williams (Harmonologia, No. 4, Pendragon Press). Like the previous work, the goal of the volume is to create a logically organized introduction to the major theorists of the time and a thorough review of the scholarly work about these writers. While specialists in the history of music theory may find new materials in these pages, this work is primarily designed for the non-specialist as a practical and basic introduction to the treatises, people, and scholarship of Medieval and Renaissance theory.

Perfect Harmony and Melting Strains assembles interdisciplinary essays investigating concepts of harmony during a transitional period, in which the Pythagorean notion of a harmoniously ordered cosmos competed with and was transformed by new theories about sound - and new ways of conceptualizing the world. From the perspectives of philosophy, literary scholarship, and musicology, the contributions consider music's ambivalent position between mathematical abstraction and sensibility, between the metaphysics of harmony and the physics of sound. Essays examine the late medieval and early modern history of ideas concerning the nature of music and cosmic harmony, and trace their transformations in early modern musico-literary discourses. Within this framework, essays further offer original readings of important philosophical, literary, and musicological works. This interdisciplinary volume brings into focus the transformation of a predominant Renaissance worldview and of music's scientific, theological, literary, as well as cultural conceptions and functions in the early modern period, and will be of interest to scholars of the classics, philosophy, musicology, as well as literary and cultural studies.

Vincenzo Galilei, the father of the astronomer Galileo, was a guiding light of the Florentine Camerata. His Dialogue on Ancient and Modern Music, published in 1581 or 1582 and now translated into English for the first time, was among the most influential music treatises of his era. Galilei is best known for his rejection of modern polyphonic music in favor of Greek monophonic song. The treatise sheds new light on his importance, both as a musician who advocated a new philosophy of music history and theory based on an objective search for the truth, and as an experimental scientist who was one of the founders of modern acoustics.

This volume of essays draws together recent work on historical music theory of the Renaissance. The collection spans the major themes addressed by Renaissance writers on music and highlights the differing approaches to this body of work by modern scholars, including: historical and theoretical perspectives; consideration of the broader cultural context for writing about music in the Renaissance; and the dissemination of such work. Selected from a variety of sources ranging from journals, monographs and specialist edited volumes, to critical editions, translations and facsimiles, these previously published articles reflect a broad chronological and geographical span, and consider Renaissance sources that range from the overtly pedagogical to the highly speculative. Taken together, this collection enables consideration of key essays side by side aided by the editor‘s introductory essay which highlights ongoing debates and offers a general framework for interpreting past and future directions in the study of historical music theory from the Renaissance.

The articles in this volume focus upon Boethius's extant works: his De arithmetica and a fragmentary De musica, his translations and commentaries on logic, his five theological texts, and, of course, his Consolation of Philosophy. They examine the effects that Boethian thought has exercised upon the learning of later generations of scholars.

Number 10 Sound: The Musical Way 10 the Scientific Revolution is a collection of twelve essays by writers from the fields of musicology and the history of science. The essays show the idea of music held by Euro th pean intellectuals who lived from the second half of the 15 century to the th early 17 : physicians (e. g. Marsilio Ficino), scholars of musical theory (e. g. Gioseffo Zarlino, Vincenzo Galilei), natural philosophers (e. g. Fran cis Bacon, Isaac Beeckman, Marin Mersenne), astronomers and mathema ticians (e. g. Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei ). Together with other people of the time, whom the Reader will meet in the course of the book, these intellectuals share an idea of music that is far removed from the way it is commonly conceived nowadays: it is the idea of music as a science whose object-musical sound--can be quantified and demonstrated, or enquired into experimentally with the methods and instruments of modem scientific enquiry. In this conception, music to be heard is a complex, variable structure based on few simple elements--e. g. musical intervals-, com bined according to rules and criteria which vary along with the different ages. However, the varieties of music created by men would not exist if they were not based on certain musical models--e. g. the consonances-, which exist in the mind of God or are hidden in the womb of Nature, which man discovers and demonstrates, and finally translates into the lan guage of sounds.
