Lamentations of Prophet Jeremiah, Ciutadella de Menorca, analysis, polyphony, fauxbourdon, XV-XVI centuriesAbstract
This article represents a first approach to a written and so far unpublished musical source: three loose parchment bifolia kept in the Diocesan Archive of Menorca that contain fragments from the Lamentations of Prophet Jeremiah. Their use predate the Council of Trent and presumably were written down during the fifteenth century. This is a monophonic version with the difference that the final section -for Chapter 5 of the Lamentations-, reappears polyphonically in three voices following a language that fits the fauxbourdon procedure. We propose, first of all, an overview of the features and content of these documents, and secondly, we deal with the analysis, the musical organization and the polyphonic language type of the ending part.
