4 Early Medieval Composers Notker the Stammerer (c ) Benedictine Monk in Switzerland. He wrote Liber hymnorum, a series of sequences (poems set to music) for use in church services.

Ademar de Chabannes (c ) French monk who wrote mass music for Saint-Martial church in Limoges, France. Some of his music has been recently recorded by the New York Ensemble for Early Music. Wipo of Burgundy (c.955-c.1048) a priest and writer, wrote Victimae paschali laudes an Easter sequence (poem to music) that is still in use today. Hermann of Reichenau ( ) born with either cerebral palsy or spina bifida and had difficulty walking & talking. His parents put him in a Benedictine monastery at 7 years old. He grew up there and wrote Alma Redemptoris Mater (a prayer that composers have set to music) and the hymn Salve Regina which is still in use today.

6 Early Medieval Composers Guido of Arezzo ( ) Benedictine monk and music theorist. Regarded as the father of modern notation. Constantly devising ways to teach singers traditional Gregorian chant. Developed early solfege system (do-re-mi, etc) based on the first six notes of the hymn Ut queant laxis. Developed the Guidoian Hand a visual music learning system that linked note names to parts of the hand. Invited to Rome by Pope John XIX to demonstrate his various teaching techniques to the priests and singers there. Guido s house in Arezzo. Honorary plaque with solfege.

7 Early Medieval Composers Saint Goderic (c ) English hermit & merchant. He wrote 4 hymns in English that are the earliest English music manuscripts to survive. Saint Goderic Manuscript of 4 hymns.

9 Medieval Composers Adam of Saint Victor (d.1146) prolific composer of Latin hymns and sequences. Many of his compositions were discovered and published over the years, the latest in the Bibliothèque Nationale, a listing of all French publications. Peter Abelard ( ) French philosopher & composer. Wrote a completely original hymn book in 1130 the earliest known sacred music that is not plainchant. One melody from this collection, O quanta qualia has survived. Albert of Paris ( ) French composer and cantor (music leader). He is credited with creating the first known piece of European music for three voices. Worked at the Notre Dame Cathedral along with the Medieval master Leonin (more on him next week). Peter Abelard Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, France

10 Medieval Composers Saint Hildegard of Bingen ( ) German writer, composer, philosopher. Recognized as one of the earliest European women composers. Most famous work is Ordo Virtutum (Play of the Virtues), believed to be the earliest surviving morality play. Wrote several liturgical songs that were collected into a cycle known as Symphonia armoniae celestium revelationum (wow.. that s a big title!) The majority of her music is plainchant (one melodic line) Songs are left to rhythmic interpretation only general pitches are notated. Claimed to receive visions from heaven as inspiration for composing. Her music has underwent a recent revival, due to the study of women in the Medieval period.
