Musicology

 

 

Introduction

Since my first interest was musicology, this page grew out of my work in that field.

Items here are: links to other musicology pages (some Dutch ones).

And secondly my M.A. thesis: Seventeenth Century Ideas on the Harmony of the Spheres: Robert Fludd, Johannes Kepler, and Athanasius Kircher. University of Utrecht, 1996. (Note: my thesis and the artikels are in Dutch.)

 

Subjects I am interested in (and may develop further):

* J.A.K. Colizzi’s Dissertatio de Sono. An 18th century booklet on acoustics, by the dutch court musician and amateur-scientist J.A.K. Colizzi.Translation and notes.

* Johannes Scotus Eriugena and the beginnings of Polyphony. A bibliographical study on wheter or not Scotus hints at polyphony in his work De divisio naturae (9th century AD).

* Gaudentius’ Harmonikê eisagogê. A study of or commentary on this 3rd century (AD) Greek treaty on the science of music.
