Prerequisites
General Prerequisites
Students must be strongly acquainted to music notation software (Finale - Sibelius), in PC or Apple computers operation systems. The number of students attending this seminar cannot be over fifteen (15). Attending is obligatory. Students are strongly advised to have completed the courses "Greek Art Music" (ΙΠ1006) and "Aspects and phases of Greek musical avant-garde in the 20th century (Mitropoulos, Skalkotas, Dragatakis, Christou)" (ΙΠ2010), with grade 7,5 at least.
Learning Outcomes
Students are expected to be able to edit manuscripts of Greek art music composers to a software program of digital music notation (Finale - Sibelius), along with musicological commentary equivalent to the standards of a critical edition
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Work autonomously
- Work in teams
- Be critical and self-critical
Course Content (Syllabus)
During the course, the basic types of editing musical manuscripts are explained (facsimile, urtext, performance, critical), along with the special features of each category, the stages of proceeding to a musical edition, the scrutiny of the manuscript and its problems (mistakes, difficulty to read it, multiple versions, lack of evidence, etc.). Cases of Greek art-music composers' manuscripts are examined and analyzed, under varying range of difficulty. Issues of annotation and critical commentary are discussed as part of the editing process, also through sources and bibliography. The stages of transition from musical manuscript to the electronic format of a score are thoroughly described. Each student is expected to process a musical manuscript into an electronically edited and annotated musical score (in Finale - Sibelius). For this project to be completed, the professor is collaborating with the students for one (1) hour of tutorial per week (besides the standard weekly 4-hour lecture), while closely attending the students' progress of their project (critical edition) in office hours and also online (Dropbox, Moodle). Τhe weekly workload of the students (5 hours x 13 weeks = 65 hours in total) must be verified in their project's progress at a weekly basis by public presentation in the classroom. Finally, guest lectures are given by specialists on the field of musicological critical edition (e.g. Hellenic Music Centre - until 9 hours).
