[I happily forward the following announcement (which had first been issued
a few months ago) for our new member Anne-Emmanuelle Ceulemans:]
The Department of Computer and Humanities (Utrecht University)
announces the publication of:
GIOSEFFO ZARLINO
MUSIC TREATISES
facsimile and transcription edited by Frans Wiering
Thesaurus Musicarum Italicarum, Volume 1
CD-ROM for Windows 95
Gioseffo Zarlino (1517-1590) was one of the most influential music
theorists of the Renaissance. His principal work, _Le istitutioni
harmoniche_, is a unique synthesis of the music theory of
Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and the
compositional practice of his own time. The _Dimostrationi
harmoniche_ presents music theory according to the axiomatic model
of Euclid’s _Elements_. In the _Sopplimenti_, Zarlino displays his
wide reading of classical sources in a sharp response to Vincenzo
Galilei’s critique of his earlier writings.
This CD-ROM contains the first edition of the _Istitutioni_
(1558), and all three treatises as they appear in the _Tutte le
Opere_ of 1588-89. Each document is available in two forms: a
facsimile and a transcription. The texts are transcribed using
Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), following the
guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). All
illustrations are included, and the music examples from both
editions of the _Istitutioni_ have been transcribed into modern
notation. Longer examples from the 1558 edition can also be played
from MIDI.
The CD-ROM also contains an SGML viewer for Windows 95, a viewer
for the facsimiles, and two fonts. Together these provide a
powerful and user-friendly software environment for the TMI.
