Preface

Tese twelve bicinia, one for each of the twelve modes, were included as musical examples in Part IV of Zarlino’s Istitutioni Harmoniche (Venice 1558) which, among other things, discusses the properties and qualities of the modes.

Tis edition follows as faithfully as possible the original 1558 edition published by Zarlino himself. Te source used for the edition is the copy in the Library of the Conservatoire de Musique of Toulouse (France).

Two other versions — one with original clefs and one with bowing and fngering indications — are also available.

Editorial remarks

• Original time signatures and note values have been retained, but the music is presented in modern clefs (treble, alto and bass).

• Te original had no barlines and the two parts were separate. For this edition, the parts have been set in score format and measure bars added (this required spliting some notes in several tied notes).

• Accidentals above the staf are editorial suggestions.

• Ligaturae have been indicated by square slurs ( ).┌──┐

Critical notes

• Nono modo, meas. 14, lower part: original E A A G, corrected to E A A F for the sake of imitation.

Biciniasopra i dodici modi.
