Literary Texts and TEI: Discussion
Define research questions that will govern mark up, encoding, and search/display. What would we want to see/compare:
A. Text as determined by modern editor (that is, corresponding to the base text presented in the musical edition)
B. Text as “presented” in chansonnier, that is, already interpreted via certain types of division, repetition, prolongation.
C. Text as it appeared in some sixteenth-century literary (non musical) source, which might or might not correspond to the “musical” treatment
D. Views that could highlight differences, such:
E. Ways in which the “musical” poem departs from printed ones (like variants, or extra verses)
F. Ways in which the musical poem departs among the individual voice parts (orthography or punctuation, or wording)
G. Views that could highlight similarities, such as:
1. Poems that cite each other, perhaps in connection with music that does likewise
2. Patterns of circulation for the text, in all its forms:
H. Within a anthology of other settings
I. Citation or quotation (in another musical setting)
J. Rival settings
K. Additional verses
