Summary
The Council of Trent would mark decisively in the modern Catholic liturgy, and liturgical books are a key part of this litugy. In religious communities Liturgy marked the daily life and the Divine Office works joining prayer, reading, music and song. ORFEUS Project intents to study the books for Divine Office used in the Choir by the cistercians nuns of the monastery of S. Bento de Cástris (Évora) , as witness the orientations of Trent. Indeed , the importance devoted to music by the Cistercian Order made that in their monasteries circulated liturgical books of varied nature, complexified over time , in constant relation with the historical time and its cultural , mental and religious matrix .
The Project bets in a multidisciplinary perspective , joining researchers from various universities , institutions and formations , particularly in the areas of History ( Modern period ), Cistercian architecture , Paleography and Codicology , besides the Music and Musicology .
Goals, activities and expected/achieved results
Goals
O Projecto visa estabelecer, a partir dos livros seleccionados, as permanências e as rupturas a nível litúrgico, musicológico e iconográfico-codicológico que o Concílio de Trento implicou.
A análise histórica e documental permitirá, além do enquadramento epocal e da leitura transversal dos dados recolhidos, sublinhar a presença de patronos e mecenas ou mesmo de religiosas enquanto encomendadoras, aspecto de particular relevância nos abadessados trienais típicos do pós-Trento; possibilitará ainda uma análise das práticas religiosas e sacramentais mais reproduzidas e da jerarquia das festas, fornecendo elementos para o entendimento da vida feminina cisterciense de Quinhentos a Setecentos, confrontando-a com o exigido nas Constituições da Ordem e pelas leis capitulares e recomendações de Visitas.
Pretende-se ainda estudar e identificar a possibilidade de redes diversas (familiares, geográficas, de hierarquai social, internas ou externas ao mosteiro) ligadas à música e ao canto e ao seu ensino e execução, privilegiando a relação com a cidade de Évora e com a Escola de Música da Sé de Évora.
