The London British Museum Manuscript Additional 35087, hereafter referred to as London Add. 35087, is an important parchment manuscript in large octavo choirbook arrangement from the beginning of the sixteenth century. Its measurements are 19.4 x 29.3 centimeters. The manuscript contains ninety-five folios and one stub where a leaf has been torn out (f. 4).1 The last composition in the manuscript is incomplete, which indicates that one leaf is lacking at the end (f. 96). Two sets of foliation are shown: the original Roman and a more recent Arabic. Both are placed in the upper right hand corner of folio recto. The sets agree in folios 4-93. Folios 1 and 2 show no Roman figures now; folio 3 has "ii," and therefore the missing leaf probably had "iii." The Arabic numbering does not account for this missing leaf. This folio might have been assigned "4," but this number is given on the next complete leaf to coincide with the Roman "iiii." At the end, by mistake, folio 94 has "xciii" and folio 95 has "xciiii."

Ce mémoire porte sur la vie et l’œuvre des trois maîtres de chapelle de la Cathédrale de Quito aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles : Gonzalo Pillajo, Manuel Blasco et Joseph Hortuño. Leurs œuvres de musique chorale se trouvent dans la compilation des manuscrits situés dans les archives du diocèse d’Ibarra (Équateur). Elles ont été classées, pour la plupart, en tant que chants de Noël appelés villancicos. À la lumière des caractéristiques physiques des manuscrits en question, des recherches spécifiques faites à ce sujet, et de la documentation existante sur le gouvernorat de Quito et ses alentours tout au long de la vice-royauté du Pérou, ce travail démontre dans un premier temps le contexte dans lequel ces villancicos ont été composées. Par ailleurs, l’étude des manuscrits révèle les détails sur l’organisation des voix, et la façon dont les œuvres ont pu être interprétées. En plus, l’étude de la musique des trois maîtres de chapelle révèle les liens existant entre leurs œuvres et celles des compositeurs Francisco Guerrero et Juan de Araujo. De cette façon, une démarche historico-culturelle musicale autour de la Cathédrale de Quito lors de l’époque coloniale a été accomplie et a permis d’identifier les particularités qui font référence aux croyances et aux habitudes de la population indigène latino-américaine. / This study showcases the life and works of three Chapels Masters of the Cathedral of Quito during the 17th and 18th centuries: Gonzalo Pillajo, Manuel Blasco et Joseph Hortuño. Their choral music pieces can be found in the compilation of manuscripts located in the archives of the diocese of Ibarra (Ecuador). Most of these pieces have been classified as Christmas carols called Villancicos. Taking into account the physical characteristics of the manuscripts in question, previous research completed on the subject and existing documentation on the governorate of Quito and its surroundings along the territorial viceroyalty of Peru, this dissertation demonstrates the context in which these villancicos were composed. Furthermore, the study of these manuscripts reveals details regarding the organization of voices and the manner in which these choral pieces were interpreted. Lastly, from the three Chapel Masters we note the similarities between their works and those of Francisco Guerrero and Juan de Araujo. In this way musical historical-cultural research around the Cathedral of Quito during the colonial period has been accomplished and has allowed to identify the particularities that refer to the beliefs and habits of the Latin American indigenous population.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar de que forma um catálogo comentado de manuscritos musicais é importante ferramenta de pesquisa, que pode apoiar a musicologia na tarefa de análise de documentos, levando à compreensão dos diversos aspectos que envolvem o binômio compositor/composição. Aliando conceitos da teoria arquivística e do estudo do processo de criação, e levando-se em conta, principalmente, que o conteúdo musical deveria ser o elemento norteador na feitura do trabalho, pudemos observar a importância da informação presente na documentação musical estudada. Como fio condutor, temos a oportunidade de apresentar os principais aspectos de um conjunto de documentos inéditos, objeto privilegiado de análise, manuscritos na juventude pelo compositor Camargo Guarnieri. A Obra de Difusão Interdita, título dado pelo autor para nomear o conjunto de anotações musicais escritas entre os anos de 1920 a 1928, abarca uma variedade grande de registros musicais que, pela sua natureza de obra imatura, em fase redacional de elaboração idéias, nos permite desvendar a fixação de conceitos e caracterização da personalidade do artista em formação. / The goal of the present work is to demonstrate in which way a special list of musical manuscripts is an important tool of research, able to support the musicology in the task of analyzing documents and to lead to the comprehension of the different aspects involved in the binomial composer/composition. By bringing together the concepts of the archival science theory and the study of the artistic process and by considering mainly that the musical content should be the guiding element in the making of the work, we have been able to observe the importance of the information present in the musical documentation studied. As a guideline, we have the opportunity to present the main aspects of an unpublished collection of documents, privileged object of analysis, handwritten during the youth of the composer Camargo Guarnieri. The Interdicted Work of Diffusion (Obra de Difusão Interdita), title given by the author in order to denominate the collection of musical notations written between 1920 and 1928, embraces a big variety of music registration that, by their nature of immature work, in the redactional phase of the elaboration of ideas, allows one to disclose both the establishment of the concepts and the distinctness of the personality of the artist in development.

The master thesis focuses on a neumed breviary, which presently resides in the Czech National Library under the signature VI.E.4c. The source, originally from the library of women's Benedictine monastery of St. George at the Prague Castle, dates from the middle of 12th century and is the oldest neumed manuscript from the convent. However, it is not clear where it was created and for whom. The breviary might have been intended for the convent from the beginning or got to its library later. Therefore, the main aim of this work is to find out the provenance of the codex. The first chapter deals with the physical description of the manuscript. Especially the musical-palaeographic aspects are inspected, both the original and younger (written usually in margins). The newly discovered fragment XXIV.A.65, which originally belonged to the breviary, is also investigated. With the use of these aspects, the possibilities of the source's provenance are specified. The content of the breviary is examined in the second chapter. The single sections of the manuscript are described: calendar, tonary, Commune Sanctorum and the liturgical year itself. The chapter also mentions some of the typical specifics, which appearred during the work at the musical-liturgical index of the third and fourth section of the breviary,...

Alors que de nombreux travaux ont déjà mis en lumière la circulation de musiciens et de genres musicaux italiens au Nord des Alpes durant les XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, la musique française est encore largement perçue, pour reprendre l'expression de Rousseau, comme « indéchiffrable pour toute autre nation ». Reconduisant le paradigme d'un isolement musical de la France au sein d'une Europe baroque tout acquise à la musique italienne, l'historiographie a eu tendance à sous-estimer le rôle des transferts musicaux depuis la France dans la vie musicale européenne, et singulièrement allemande. Plusieurs phénomènes témoignent pourtant d'une intensification des échanges musicaux entre la France et les territoires germaniques du Saint Empire autour de 1700 : l'embauche de musiciens français dans plusieurs cours d'Allemagne, la diffusion et la copie de sources imprimées de musique française, l'exécution d'œuvres françaises ou d'inspiration française dans les grands centres musicaux de l'espace germanique, ainsi que la formation d'un discours théorique de langue allemande sur la musique française constituent autant de modalités essentielles de la circulation des hommes, des œuvres, des savoirs et des pratiques musicales dans l'Europe moderne. La Basse-Saxe et la Saxe offrent deux cas d'étude exemplaires où la migration des musiciens français, qui fait d'abord l'objet d'une analyse prosopographique à travers une reconstruction des réseaux et des trajectoires individuelles, peut ensuite être mise en parallèle avec la circulation de nombreuses sources musicales transmettant des œuvres du répertoire français. Au carrefour de la musicologie et de l'histoire sociale des migrations, ce travail vise ainsi à éclairer les différentes facettes d'un transfert culturel, en restituant à ce concept une chair humaine dont il est trop souvent privé. / Many studies have highlighted the spread of Italian musicians and musical genres across the Alps during the 17th and 18th centuries, but French music remains time and again perceived as « undecipherable for any other nation », as Rousseau once put it. The historiography has long held fast to the idea of an isolated France within a European musical market shaped by the pervasive diffusion of Italian music, thus overlooking the role played by French music and musicians on the European and indeed the German musical scene. However, a few facts strongly indicate that musical exchanges between France and certain German territories of the Holy Roman Empire were becoming increasingly important around 1700 : several courts hired French bands, scores of French music were copied and disseminated throughout Germany, musical works genuinely French or emulating French models were performed in all major musical centers, and a coherent discourse on French music was further articulated in German theoretical production. Those facts are essential to our understanding of the mobility of people, works, ideas and practices in the Early-Modern Europe. Lower-Saxony and Saxony provide two case studies in order to show how the migration of French musicians, subjected to a prosopographical investigation that points out social networks and individual odysseys, can be connected to the dissemination of actual sources of French music. Bringing together musicology and social history of migrations, this study examines different aspects of a cultural transfer and ultimately reveals that human flesh is always part of it.
