La mise en voix del Cantar del Mio Cid y el Códice de Vivar

Abstract

In the last years, the musical performance has taken an important place in the study of the mise en voix of the Cantar de Mio Cid. Although this perspective is laudable in many ways, I propose to take care on the textual and codicological plane, because many of the musical traces are lost for distinct reasons: the condition of the copy, finished according to the historiographical patterns of the medieval scriptorium; the indirect knowledge of the medieval epic music; the gaps in the understanding of how medieval cantillation was performed during public workship, in the laic or clerical life; the influence (or not) of the medieval chant dialects (especially, mozarabic and eugenian chants), etc.
