Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Among the forms of notation found in historical sources, one of the most important and least understood by musicians today is tablature. Tablature was very widely used for notating music between about 1450 and 1800, principally for a variety of stringed and keyboard instruments, including the lute, guitar, viola da gamba, harpsichord and organ, and has survived to the present day in the cifra notation of flamenco guitar music; tens of thousands of pieces survive, of which only a tiny proportion are available in CMN transcriptions. In recent decades there has been a revival of a 'dialect of tablature in the context of popular guitar music, where thousands of guitar' tabs' are daily exchanged on the internet between amateur players. This project aims o design, implement and test an XML encoding scheme for historical music documents which are written in performance-based notation systems rather than conventional music notation, in particular, lute tablature, so as to allow the possibility of editorial apparatus such as text-critical commentary and alternative readings.
