the pipelare mass and manuscript have so much more going on- there's ligatures and colorations galore! and i'm not always the best at accurately and neatly copying them. also, the bass clef is consistently wonky and i haven't looked much into it yet. that's all.

pipelare missa lhomme arme project ...

when i worked on my senfl missa lhomme transcription project, i used a guide, a version in modern notation, every now and again to make sure i was on the right track. this was especially useful for weird ligatures and different imperfections in the manuscript copy. 

with my pipelare project, i’m not using any sort of guide and ... this has been a much much slower, more difficult process so far. holy shit.

chris learns how to read and write music update: i’ve copied out and rewritten the kyrie, gloria, and most of the agnus dei of senfl’s missa lhomme arme; i want to finish copying out and re-writing the credo, and sanctus/ benedictus by the end of the school year. i’ve copied out and re-written the kyrie, and some of the gloria of pipelare’s missa lhomme arme. very excite.

i’ve admittedly been using a guide to help me through senfl’s mass, but i’ve been going through the pipelare on my own; i gave up on using a guide and want this to be a goal that i finish once i better understand all the old mensural notation so i can make my own fresh transcription. i plan on getting through that one not too long after i finish my copy of the senfl mass. i’ve got OODLES of digital copies of manuscripts to copy out over summer break. 

that’s all.
