DESCRIPTION

The Cantigas de Santa Maria are an important document of medieval music making in Iberia, with their multi-ethnic influences

TRANSCRIPT

2 /ndausan Nusc and thcCun/igu: dc un/u AuriuManuel PedroFerreira When the question oftherelationshipbetweentheCantigasdeSanta MaraandmedievalHispano-Arabicmusicisraised,theshadowof Julian Ribera's partial musical edition of the Cantigas, published in 1922, cannotbe avoided. 1InRibera'sedition,theAlfonsinesongs are presented as derivatives of classical Arab music,and transcribed according towhatRiberathoughtwastypicallyArab;asaconsequence,their original notation was often disregarded.Ribera's approach came under heavy critcism from professional musicologists, amongst them Higinio Anges,who inhis monumentalwork of1943-58buried-seemingly for good-scholarly pretensions to read Arb music into theCantigas.2 In the past half-century(1943-93),the pro-Arabstancehas therefore beenconfinedtotheperormingdomainasakindofcolouristic exotcism, of doubtful historical seriousness, which is sometimes made vaguelyrespectablethroughmentonoftheIslamicinstrumentsdepicted inoneofthemanuscriptsourcesoftheCantias(MSE).This tendencytovalueinstrumentalcolourcanbeexplainednot only on thebasisofRibera'sclaimthattherepertoryhasan'orchestral' character, 3 but also in relation to the history of the modern 'early music' movement; in actual practice, instrumental colour has been ser ved as a kindofdressingaddedtoAnges'stranscriptions,whichhavebeen generally accepted byperformers. AlothasnonethelesschangedafterRibera'seditioninour knowledgeofmedievalArabmusic;andourunderstandingofthe original notationoftheCantigas has prgressedinthe past fewyears. The tme has cometore-evaluate the Arabquestion from a scholarly pointofview. 8MANUEL PEDROFERREIRA Thefirstthingtodoistorephrasethequestion,substituting 'Andalusian'for'Arab'.Moorish-Andalusian(orIbero-Arab)musicis notjust,orevenmainly,Arabmusicperse.Itisahy bridWestern traditionwhichevolved independendyfromorientaltrendsfromthe ninth centuryonwardsandreacheditshighestlevelofintegrationof Western and oriental elements in the twelfth century. 4The originality ofAndalusianmusic,whencomparedwithotherWesternmedieval traditions,istobesoughtprimarilyintheaspectsofformand rhythm.FormrepresentsthePeninsularindigenouselement;rhy thm theArabone. ThequestionofmusicalforminmedievalAndalusiansonghas generally been ignored; recendy, Vicente Beltran and, most importandy, DavidWulstanhavefacedtheproblemandattemptedtogiveita solution. 5Bothtakeastheirstarting point theformalstructureofthe poems, towhich theyremain anchored astheironlysecureevidence; naturally, since the textual data gives minimal musical information, their conclusionscannotbe firmlyfoundedfromamusical pointofview.I have therefore taken the opposite apprach: to startwith the surviving music fromMoorishAndalusia. Myworkwasmadepossiblebytherecentpublication,byJames MonroeandBenjaminLiu,ofninesurvivingazjal andmuwashshahat composedinAl-Andalusbetweenc.IIOOandthemid-fourteenth century. 6 Ascomplementarydata,I haveusedtheanalysisof arepresentativesamplebothoftoday 'sNorthMricanmusicofAndalusian origin7andofthemuwashshahoraltraditioningeneral. 8 Theresults of this undertaking, whichI will summarize here, will be published in detail elsewhere.9 The main conclusion is that themuwashshah and the symmetricalzajalseemoriginallytohavehadmainlytwokindsof formalscheme,correspondingtothevirelai(AIIBBBA,A II CCCA)ortoaspecialkindofrondeau(AII BBBA,[... ]ABA).Thezajal proper,textuallyasymmetrical,musthavehadrelated schemes,forthezajal andthemuwashshaharetwofacesofthesame tradition. 10 At this juncture,theexampleoftheCantigas de Santa Maria hasto betakenintoaccount.Poeticallyspeaking,mostofthemhavethe zajal form.Musically,theytendtopresent thevirelai form,whichas we have seen isalsocharacteristicof themuwashshah.In itself, this fact isnotconclusive,fortheFrenchvirelaicouldbetakenasboththe poeticalandmusicalmodelfortheCantigas;theonlyproblemwith this hy pothesis isthatthevirelai hardlyexisted inFrance before c. 1300, ANDALUSIANMUSICAND THECANTGAS9 whiletheCantigaswerecomposedbefore1284;thisfactledWilli ApeltoproposeaSpanishoriginforthevirelai. I IMoreover,inthe Cantias theinfluenceof the Frenchrondeau is slightwhencompared withtheimportantpresenceofthereversekindofrondeau(AIIBB A),alsocharacteristc,mutatismutandis,ofthemuwashshah;thisis foundin more thanseventy cantigas. I2Since this lastformis virtually unknownelsewhereinmedievalEurpe, 13itisprobablyindigenous; andsincetheCantiasweremosdycomposedinaculturalenvirnmentwheretheIbero-Arabpresencewasstronglyfelt,itprobably derivesfrmthezajaloritsmozarabiccounterpart.TheCantigasde SantaMariaappeartherefore,frmaformalpointofview,toencapsulatetypicalfeaturesofmedievalAndalusianmusic:thevirelaiform andwhatIpropose to call the Andalusianrondeau. Letusnowturnourattentiontorhythm.Rhythmisintrinsically linked with the musical notation of the manuscripts. The notation has been variously described by diferent authors, depending on the interpretative model used to apprach it. Hendrik van der Werf, for instance, comparedthenotationwiththelate-thirteenth-centurFrnconian system,andinevitablyconcludedthattheAlfonsinenotationisnot Franconian, I4which is hardly surprisingsince thissystemwasformulated in writing only around1280, when most of the Cantigas were in theprocessofbeingcopied. ISItdoesnotfollow,though,thatthe Alfonsine notation lacks a mensural character, for there were mensural systems in existence before Franco of Cologne. On the contrary, I think that it can be prved that the mensural dimension is an important one, regardlessof howwechooseto interpret it. 16 Interpretationisaboutwaystomakethedatahistorically intelligible.Angleswasrightwhenheacceptedthenotationasit standswithout trying to forceit into preconceivedmoulds,as Ribera did;healsorealizedthattherhythmswrittendownbythecopyists were often equivalent to the contemporary French patterns known as 'rhythmicmodes' , but that thiswasnot always true.Unable to accept Ribera's hypothesis of anArab derivation, hechampionedthetheory ofafolkloricoriginforthecasesofnon-modalrhythm;needlessto say,the'folkmusic'labelcouldembraceeverything,andbecauseof this generality couldbe neitherproven nor challenged;it was an easy way out of the problem. In my own work,I have expanded the framework of possible pre-existing models-French developments of modal rhythm,trubadouresqueisosyllabismandtherhapsodicrhythm found in the cantias d'amigo; since even this large range of possibilities 10MANELPEDROFERREIRA doesnotexhausttherhythmicvarietyfoundintherepertory,Ihad eventuallytoconfrontthelong-discreditedhypothesisofanAndalusianconnection.

The importantpresence in this repertory of dotted rhythm, ignored inthesurvivingGalician-Portuguesetroubadoursongsandinal the remaining written European music, can be explained through the influenceoftheAndalusiantradition.WehaveseenthatoneoftheAndalusian rhythmic cycles usesdotted rhythm; in the MiddleEast,it is also found in the Su. fyan rhythm;35 both derive from classical Arab rhythmic practice.Insomeof thesurvingmedieval Andalusian songs, 36 dotted rhythmispervasive:ittendstobeassociatedwiththesuccessive occurrenceofa longand ashortsyllable(Ex.I I).
