This unit will enable students who successfully completed the 2nd year Transcription and Editing Unit (MUSI20056) to study the discipline at a more advanced and specialised level. They will transcribe an agreed amount of music from one single manuscript or early printed source, typically involving a type of notation or tablature studied at 2nd year level (i.e. from the period 1450-1650); with the agreement of the Unit Director, however, earlier or later sources may also be proposed. The final submission will include a professionally presented edition together with an extended editorial preface.
Aims:
This unit aims to consolidate the student's understanding of modern techniques of editing early music. Attention will also be devoted to more advanced matters of notation, source filiation and effective scholarly presentation.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
Fortnightly 30-minute tutorials (plus additional time in tutor’s office/surgery hour when needed)
Weekly 3rd year Musicology seminars
Submission of an extended edition (as agreed with the Unit Director), together with a 3000-word editorial preface
Learning outcomes 1 – 4 will be demonstrated through the edition, outcomes 5 – 6 in the editorial preface.
