Carmina Burana: vom Codex zum Klang

20.11.2025 – 22.11.2025

Die Carmina Burana sind weithin bekannt durch Carl Orffs berühmte Kantate sowie durch die Klangwelt, die seit den 1960er-Jahren von Ensembles für mittelalterliche Musik neu erschaffen wurde. Ihrem Kern nach jedoch liegt ihnen eine Handschrift des 13. Jahrhunderts zugrunde, der Codex Buranus (D-Mbs Clm 4660-4660a), der eine umfangreiche Sammlung lateinischer und volkssprachiger Gedichte teilweise mit Notation überliefert. Berühmt für ihre lyrischen, satirischen und dramatischen Texte ist diese Handschrift ein zentrales Zeugnis der mittelalterlichen Liedkultur.

Singing the Galliard

21.10.2025

Dancing and singing at the same time is rare today. However, written records reveal that dance songs have been an integral part of musical culture for as long as musical practices have been documented. The years around 1600 saw the heyday of texted dance tunes. And among the extant sources, the sung galliard is the most prominent dance.

The moresca in the long 16th century

26.04.2024

The moresca is a widespread dance and term in the Renaissance. However, what is referred to as “moresca” in the various regions and contexts is so heterogeneous that it defies a standardised definition. It is precisely because of these characteristics that the moresca is interesting for an examination within the framework of historically informed musical practice. The aim is to find a way of dealing with gaps in knowledge, problematic terms and cultural attributions and, not least, with polyvalences.
