Using as its basis one source of Heinrich Isaac’s “Güretzsch,” Chapter 16 gives a step-by-step guide on how to transcribe into modern notation a piece of music in renaissance notation. This chapter presents “translations” of all the elements of original notation, including note values, rests, clefs, and time signatures. We also offer practical suggestions on how to rehearse when using partbooks in manuscript or original print.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
