A New Look at Ars Subtilior Notation and Style in the Codex Chantilly, Ms. 564

Evans, Michael C.

Abstract Details

2011, Master of Music (MM), Ohio University, Music History and Literature (Fine Arts).
The ars subtilior is a medieval style period marked with a high amount of experimentation and complexity, lying in between the apex of the ars nova and the newer styles of music practiced by the English and the Burgundians in the early fifteenth century. In scholarly accounts summarizing the period, however, musicologists and scholars differ, often greatly, on the precise details that comprise the style. In this thesis, I will take a closer look at the music of the period, with special relevance to the Codex Chantilly (F-CH-564), the main source of music in the ars subtilior style. In doing so, I will create a more exact definition of the style and its characteristics, using more precise language. In addition, I will provide more accurate transcriptions of musical examples, which build and improve on existing scholarship while representing, as close as possible, the original stylistic feel of the music in modern notation.
