Performance of Medieval Monophony: Text and Image as Evidence for Musical Practice (Introduction)2023 •
This issue of Textus & Musica, «Performance of Medieval Monophony: Text and Image as Evidence for Musical Practice», explores textual and visual sources related to the performance of medieval monophonic song, providing insight into historical contexts and practices. Monophonic song is fundamental to medieval musical culture, but many questions related to its performance still need to be explored further. Medieval music manuscripts document the evolution of monophonic music and its performance practices over time; however, they only capture a fraction of the story. Other sources, such as architectural remains, artwork, and textual accounts, provide complementary perspectives on how monophonic song was experienced and practiced. This issue brings together research from an international conference held at the Nova University of Lisbon in January 2023. Scholars from different disciplines examine medieval monophonic song performance, including liturgical practices, visual depictions, normative literature, and artistic representations across medieval Europe and Byzantium. The contributions explore various aspects of monophonic singing, from musical and textual interpretation to the embodied experience of performers, revealing a rich interplay between text, music, and performance practice. This introduction opens up these interdisciplinary approaches, focusing mainly on liturgical practices within medieval religious orders. Descriptive sources like chronicles offer glimpses into the daily practices of religious communities. These narratives underline the spiritual significance of sung performance and the expectations for singers in performing liturgical chants. Prescriptive sources, such as customaries and liturgical ordinals, outline the specific tasks of chant leaders and provide instructions for conducting liturgical music. These documents reveal meticulous attention to detail in maintaining musical quality and correcting deviations during performance through hand signals and other gestures. The introduction also explores how performance practices were organized and adapted within religious communities. Letters exchanged between convents demonstrate the practical performance of musical genres like sequences, including the alternating practices between soloists and choir or organ and choir. This variability shows the dynamic nature of monophonic chant performance and the creative solutions devised by singers, cantors, and chantresses to navigate challenges in the daily liturgy.

Adages come into vogue and discussion that are just good sounding baloney. Of course there are people in religious crises. Crisis come when their belief doesn't square with the world they face. We need to get real about this misnomer of a discussion and re-rail the a train wreck of religious ideas today.

Thesis Novel: Composting with Academia expands on an essay written for the last remaining credited course of my PhD, and elaborates on an exhibit from 2021 where texts relating to Art, Farming and Land in the Global Neoliberal Era were placed on a foldable table. The thesis novel places the reader in tension and dialogue, with the many characters and worlds by the author. I argue that the thesis novel is a counter-form of the conventional thesis which Susan Suleiman argues has a ‘simplifying and schematizing tendency’. The counter acknowledges the complexity of the world(s) that the thesis author is situated in—violent and oppressive, flourishing and hopeful, wild and transversal, etc. The counter-form does not exist in a vacuum or in the academic vault, with its inaccessible campuses and libraries, digital paywalls, and neoliberal agendas that are competitive, capitalistic and colonial (in an extractive, profit-driven and geographically expansive sense). The counter-form acknowledges that research is always done with others (co-produced, sometimes with other species), centering their perspectives and stories, with the thesis writer “simply” weaving everything together, and then giving the research back to the community. For example, in the form of bilingual and self-published printed matter, freely distributed to community members.
