MODE : Marenzio online digital edition - beta version
-
The Marenzio Online Digital Edition (MODE) is a critical edition of the secular music of Luca Marenzio (ca. 1553-1599), one of the most influential composers of the European Renaissance. MODE is the product of an international collaboration that started in 2006 with a conference held at Harvard University, the proceedings of which were later published by Brepols. In 2011 the project was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Numerous people and institutions have supported the project along the way. MODE makes Marenzio’s music available to musicians and scholars for free on the world wide web. It integrates music philology and digital technology by introducing an innovative model for producing and disseminating modern editions of musical repertoires of the Western tradition. In the input phase, the musical sources--i.e., the partbooks of the madrigal books--are digitally collated with the software application Aruspix, improving speed and accuracy via optical music recognition. In the output phase, the music is presented through a dynamic web-based digital interface based on Verovio in which the critical commentary and other materials interact productively with the musical text. The encoding of the original musical notation follows the criteria recommended by the Music Encoding Initiative. The edition is fully optimized for desktop and mobile devices and can be used on most operating systems. Users can visualize the music in different formats (including modern and original clefs), open the critical apparatus directly in the score, play the music in MIDI format (or, when available, in a recording by a vocal ensemble), and download the music in PDF format.
