Description

In the 1000 years between the fall of the Roman Empire and the so-called Renaissance, the Western European musical tradition developed in different cultural contexts and was shaped not least by new forms of rule and imperialism. In the course of Christianization and the formation of the empire, the development of new centers of power such as monasteries, cathedrals, universities and courts led to the emergence of musical notation, the canonization of Gregorian chant and the development of new musical genres.

The lecture aims to provide an insight into the connection between music and rule in the Middle Ages on the basis of various institutions, musical genres and musical sources. The monastery of St. Gall, Notre-Dame Cathedral and the University of the Sorbonne in Paris, smaller courts in southern Europe and the Seventh Crusade to Tunis and Jerusalem are some of the focal points.
