CANT

The CANT contains records of each composition, which comprehend all available information regarding poetical and musical sources as well as bio-bibliographical data on poets and musicians and secondary literature, including editions and studies. Records are accessible through a specific search function, allowing several query types (poet name, composer name, incipit of the text, manuscript index, etc.). The indicative chronological span for authors and anonymous compositions ranges from 1309 (transfer of the Papal see to Avignon) to 1417 (resolution of the Western Schism). The CANT does not include Machaut’s works, nor compositions on liturgical texts. It is implemented in collaboration with the Ezio Franceschini Foundation.

ANT

The ANT is constituted by two archives, separate but interconnected: one for the critical editions of poetic texts and one for the critical editions of musical compositions. The project also envisages the possibility of obtaining multilingual concordances, useful for the study of the lexicon and to identify intertextual relations between texts written in different languages.

ANS

The ANS hosts information regarding poetic and musical formal features. Each poetic text record shows syllabic and rhyme scheme, number of stanzas and number of verses per stanza, rhymes and technical rhymes, formal genre, thematic genre. Musical texts records contain the following data: number of voices, Textierung, voice range, finales (also pertaining to internal sections), key and accidentals, notational system, musical genre, compositional techniques. The records also contain a schematic representation of the musical form and an analysis of the relationship between the rhythmic accents of poetry and the spatial-temporal organization of music.

ATLAS

The ATLAS is an interactive map showing the places of activity of musicians and poets and the places where manuscripts falling within the repertoire studied by the project were copied.
