  • It has become widely accepted among musicologists that medieval music is most profitably studied from interdisciplinary perspectives that situate it within broad cultural contexts. The origins of this consensus lie in a decisive reorientation of the field that began approximately four decades ago. For much of the twentieth century, research on medieval music had focused on the discovery and evaluation of musical and theoretical sources. The 1970s and 1980s, by contrast, witnessed calls for broader methodologies and more fully contextual approaches that in turn anticipated the emergence of the so-called 'New Musicology'. The fifteen essays in the present collection explore three interrelated areas of inquiry that proved particularly significant: the liturgy, sources (musical and archival), and musical symbolism. In so doing, these essays not only acknowledge past achievements but also illustrate how this broad, interdisciplinary approach remains a source for scholarly innovation.

  • Summary

    This chapter explores a lyric tradition that had flourished in France and other Francophone centers from at least 1380. It examines aspects of the sizeable corpus of lyrics with and without music that survives in sources from the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. The chapter discusses how the new order of "fixed form" lyric and polyphonic chanson that crystallized in 1340 quickly became a locus for competitive demonstrations of lyric ingenuity and allusive play held at court and in urban contexts. It describes how the New Year repertory demonstrates a similarly strong sense of lyric community in its texts. Most of the lyrics and songs serve not only to transmit New Year greetings but also to present a gift. The most common kind of gift is immaterial, comprising a pledge of love, loyalty, or devotion.

  • Summary

    Introduction

    Substantial progress has been made in developing data, concepts, and techniques for the construction and statistical analysis of econometric models. Comprehensive data systems, including national income and product accounts, price, wage and interest rate data, monetary data, and many other measures, have been developed for almost all countries. In many cases, annual measurements have been augmented by quarterly and monthly measurements of a broad array of economic variables. In recent years, scientifically designed sample surveys have been employed to expand the data bases of a number of countries. While research continues to improve data bases, we must recognize that the work that produced our current, extensive data bases is a major accomplishment in the field of scientific measurement and enables economic analysts to avoid the charge of “theory without measurement.”

    In reviewing the development of concepts for the statistical analysis of econometric models, it is very easy to forget that in the opening decades of [the twentieth] century a major issue was whether a statistical approach was appropriate for the analysis of economic phenomena. Fortunately, the recognition of the scientific value of sophisticated statistical methods in economics and business has buried this issue. To use statistics in a sophisticated way required much research on basic concepts of econometric modeling that we take for granted today. It was necessary to develop fundamental concepts such as complete model, identification, autonomous structural relationships, exogeneity, dynamic multipliers, and stochastic equilibrium, to name a few, that play an important role in linking statistical analyzes and economic theory.
