High clefs and down-to-earth transposition: a brief defence of Monteverdi
2012
Overview
Focusing on the Magnificat áã in Monteverdi's 1610 publication, this article repudiates the recently repeated proposal by Roger Bowers that its high-def notation demands transposition down a mere 2nd (for which there is no known contemporary precedent); 100 clear instances of transposition by the conventional 4th (and 5th) are listed. Besides its implausible resultant 'F minor', the narrower transposition cannot be justified on the basis of perceived ' inconsistencies' of range, as Monteverdi's own music (and others') provides ample evidence of lower vocal scoring than is expected today.
