Η caccia του Trecento: Μία συγκριτική προσέγγιση
Translated title:
The Trecento caccia: a comparative approach
Summary:
This thesis is about the 14th century caccia, of the Italian style “Trecento”. A comparative approach is made to the extant repertoire, aiming to the observation of the the individual elements of cacce, the comparison based on the texts and their structure, but also the comparison of the style of each composer. Initially in the paper, there is a general historical review of the musical scene of Italy of the 14th century, while studying more specifically the historical side of the genre of Trecento caccia. In the second part, there is the topic of the structure and the main features found in cacce compositions, as the information from the relevant literature is given. There is also the case of caccia-madrigali, its main structural elements, as well as its main differences with the plain madrigal of Trecento. The third section of the paper presents the personal study and examination of the extant repertoire, which was done through the analysis of selected pieces, from their transcription in modern notation. An attempt is made to compare the pieces with each other, to form categories according to the characteristics of the tracks, as well as to isolate elements that characterize the cacce pieces of each composer. Based on the material given by the analyses, in the last chapter are recorded the general conclusions about the genre, but also about the musical style of the composers as of how they deal with the caccia genre. Also, there is the comparison between the two different versions of Chon brachi assai. Finally, there is an appendix with the Italian texts, as we find them in the editions from which the scores were drawn.
