The Squarcialupi Codex (Florence, MS Mediceo Palatino 87) is an illuminated manuscript compiled in Florence in the early fifteenth century. It is named for the noted fifteenth-century organist Antonio Squarcialupi, who owned it.
The Squarcialupi Codex is the single largest primary source of secular polyphonic music of the trecento. It consists of 216 parchment folios, organized by composer, with each composer's section beginning with a portrait of the composer richly illuminated in gold, red, blue and purple. The illuminated portraits of the musicians are attributed to Lorenzo Monaco and his circle.
The notation used in the Squarcialupi Codex is a hybrid form of French ars nova style and Italian trecento style notation. This class is geared towards more experienced players of early notation.
This is a recurring Zoom Link. That means the same link will bring you to each of your 4 class sessions.
