Missa Corona spinea
John Taverner (c. 1490–1545) Missa Corona spinea This edition prepared for The Tallis Scholars Gimell Notes Source: Oxford, Bodleian Library, Mus. Sch. e. 376–81 (the ‘Forrest-Heyther’ partbooks) Taverner’s Mass Corona spinea is based on an as yet unidentified cantus firmus. The title suggests a connection with the feast of the Crown of Thorns, but this was a late addition to the Sarum liturgy and never achieved great significance. The few liturgical books which mention it assign it to 4 May. The only surviving complete source is itself a ‘performing edition’. The use of longa rests covering three spaces and grouped in threes suggests that the work was originally conceived using perfect modus (the relationship between brevis and longa) and maximodus (that between longa and maxima). Such notation would have been obsolescent by the time the work was copied into the second layer of the ‘Forrest-Heyther’ partbooks, probably some time during the 1530s. The original cantus firmus would almost certainly have been notated in an esoteric form, using very long notes in various colours. For example, the four cantus firmus notes before the final in the Credo have durations of 27, 18, 12 and 8 semibreves, which could have been written as black, red and blue maximae and a green longa respectively. In the form in which it survives, the cantus firmus shows signs of having been doctored. A superfluous and incomplete statement of the words ‘miserere nobis’ (the final syllable being missing) in Agnus dei, bb. 28–36, has been removed as being a likely product of such interference. Also, where the division of a single cantus firmus note into two or more notes has not been necessitated by the text, but rather by the re-notation into monochromatic imperfect modus and maximodus, the edition goes some way to restoring the supposed original form by re-combining them into a single note. It may be of numerological significance that the cantus firmus has thirty-three notes, this being the age Christ is traditionally assumed to have been when he died (his death obviously being associated with the Crown of Thorns). In addition, there are ten statements of the cantus firmus, this number also being associated, albeit in a slightly convoluted way, with Christ in sacred numerology. As the first letter of the Greek word CRISTOS upper-case chi, which has the same appearance as the letter X of the Latin alphabet, came to stand for Christ (hence Xmas for Christmas), and X is of course ten in Roman numerals. For further information on the use of colour in mensural notation see Ronald Woodley, John Tucke: A case study in early Tudor music theory (Clarendon Press, 1993), p. 68 V.
