Digital Music Edition - challenge and chance
For musicology the historical-critical edition of musical works takes a central role. |
With the upcoming of digital media and models of digital edition techniques already established in philology also musicology should re-examine its concept of edition regarding new possiblities of digital representation. |
Since 1998 an interdiscplinary research project directed by Professor Dr. Stefan Morent and in colloboration between the Departments of Musicology and Computer Sciences at Tuebingen University works on questions of digital editing of music. |
The project cooperates with the musicological editions located at Tuebingen and the
Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities at Stanford University [CCARH]
and from 2007-2009 hold a grant from the German Research Foundation.
Further partners for collaboration are the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI), the Stiftsbibliothek Sankt Gallen, the e-codices-project at the University of Fribourg and the SWR. |
