Abstract
Searching the Notes—All of Them: The Josquin Research Project
To understand a musical corpus one must attend to its details. But musical details are no toriously hard to control: without months or even years of close study, how can one know if a given melodic gesture is rare or commonplace, a given contrapuntal progression mys terious or mundane? This essay introduces the Josquin Research Project (http:// josquin.stanford.edu), a tool for exploring a central repertory of polyphonic music, ca. 1420–1520. A series of case studies shows how digital resources can facilitate finely tuned musical search and analysis of a sort that is otherwise all but impossible—and how research of this kind can profitably change our engagement with musical corpora.
