  1. towards a history of sonic experience in the renaissance Daniele V. Filippi

  2. Introduction: Methods • three main methodological pillars • the integration of different perspectives, from different disciplines • the awareness of the mutual interaction between experience and symbolic systems • a realistic, phenomenological approach to music analysis

  3. Three examples from the case studies • a composer and his oeuvre • a non-musical figure • a compositional medium

  4. Case study 1 A composer and his oeuvre: Tomás Luis de Victoria • Phase 1: His polychoral works • Phase 2: His monochoral works

  5. Case study 2 A non-musical figure often cited in music historical accounts: Saint Charles Borromeo A sonic life of SCB: • varied musical experiences in his youth • a vivid attention to liturgical music • not a potential ‘musicoclast’: a solid basis of knowledge, experience, and consciousness (…)

  6. Case study 2(cont.) A sonic life of SCB (continued) • pastoral-devotional use of music • custodia oris, vox sacris dicata • regulating the soundscape • the plague of 1575-1576: “plateae aut vici quasi choros singulos efficiebant” • normative interventions & symbolic context

  7. Case study 3 A compositional medium: polychorality • a largely understudied phenomenon • a widespread diffusion, even in peripheral regions • lack of detailed analyses • phenomenology of polychorality & cultural spheres of influence

  8. Case study 3(cont.) polychorality: a crucial role both in the history of composition and in the history of sonic experience • a reconfiguration of the relationships between structure, scoring, and timbre • an ontological discontinuity • repetition; sequential writing; clearer tonal patterns • contrasts: abrupter syntax, contrasting sections • smaller formal units, symmetrical structures

  9. … concluding… (Deo gratias!)
