Until now, scholars have had an inadequate picture of the scope and transmission of the oeuvre of Ludwig Senfl (c.1490-1543), one of the most important Renaissance composers of the German-speaking lands. The present publication comprises a comprehensive catalogue raisonné for this Renaissance composer.
Volume 2 of the two-volume set is a catalogue of the sources transmitting Senfl's music : musical sources in manuscript and print, theoretical writings, and unusual sources such as embroidered partbooks, table tops, and playing cards with musical notation. The individual entries include significant codicological information, remarks on related sources, a list of Senfl's compositions, and information on facsimile reproductions and editions of the source as well as catalogues and secondary literature. This volume contains the necessary resources to support all facets of the catalogue, such as abbreviations, an extensive bibliography, and indexes.
The Senfl Catalogue serves as an encyclopedic research tool for further scholarly investigation : it not only presents a lively and coherent picture of Senfl's oeuvre, but also helps to explore the broader musical culture of his time. At the same time, the in-depth presentation of Senfl's music provides performers of early music with new information on repertory that adds to the soundscape of the Renaissance.
Stefan Gasch and Sonja Tröster are editors of the New Senfl Edition and lecturers at the University of Vienna as well as the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
Birgit Lodes is Professor of Historical Musicology at the University of Vienna and corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
