Johannes Ockeghem

Bardzo często sugerowano, że wyjątkowa twórczości Johannesa Ockeghema była być może odbiciem mistycyzmu łączonego w XV w. z ruchem religijnym znanym jako devotio moderna. Ponieważ jednak trudno to twierdzenie udowodnić, bardzo często zgłaszano do tej teorii zastrzeżenia. Artykuł jest próbą ukazania, że muzyka Ockeghema – mimo swojej oryginalności – ma również wiele cech występujących w utworach innych kompozytorów działających w XV w. Podobnie jak jego rówieśnicy Ockeghem hołdował idei różnorodności jako wiodącej w tamtym czasie zasadzie estetycznej. Stosował także tzw. ukrytą imitację i eksperymentował z niskim rejestrem głosu basowego. Patrząc zatem na twórczość Ockeghema przez pryzmat dzieł innych kompozytorów działających w XV w., jego twórczość wydaje się być dobrym przykładem wszystkich ważnych tendencji i zmian, które były tak charakterystyczne dla kultury muzycznej tamtych czasów.

The University

Lefèvre described his own mathematical turn as a kind of conversion. This chapter explains what motivated his turn to mathematics, considering the place of mathematics in fifteenth-century Paris in relation to court politics and Lefèvre’s own connections to Italian humanists. But more importantly, Lefèvre’s attitude to learning and the propaedeutic value of mathematics drew on the context of late medieval spiritual reform, with its emphasis on conversion and care of the soul. In particular, Lefèvre’s turn to university reform seems to have responded to the works of Ramon Lull, alongside the devotio moderna and Nicholas of Cusa, which he printed in important collections. With such influences, Lefèvre chose the university as the site for intellectual reform.

Devotio Moderna

AbstractIn the Devotio Moderna, women appear to have used vernacular religious song to a much greater degree than men. Why this is so is an as yet unanswered question and the focus of this article. It explores in the first instance how song might have fit into the lives of meditation to which such women were dedicated, arguing that vernacular religious song was accepted but under some suspicion as a lesser meditative mode. It then interprets documented instances of actual singing in order to assess under what circumstances song might have been permitted to serve as meditative vehicle.

Early Date ◽  
Devotio Moderna

AbstractAt an early date already, shortly after they had been written by Geert Grote (1340-84), his letters were collected by adherents of the Devotio Moderna movement. Individual or collected letters were transmitted through four different channels: (1) in the form of independent corpora epistolarum; (2) as part of a miscellany or convolute; (3) incorporated in the Chronicon Windeshemense, the historiography of the movement finished in 1463 by Johannes Busch (c. 1399-1480); (4) as appendix to the Vita Gerardi Magni, compiled 1436-50 by Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471). Three collections of collected letters have come down to us, but information available through other sources suggests that Latin (and vernacular) corpora must have been much more widespread. It seems possible to suggest that Grote’s friend and contemporary Johan Cele (1343-1417) may have been instrumental in the constitution of a ‘canon of Grote’s letters’. Since the order of the letters is not consistent in the three extant corpora, the criteria for their arrangement must have been fluctuating.
