Ricercar Data Lab - Early Music Database

Résumé

The research program in musicology Ricercar Lab, at the Centre of Renaissance Studies (University of Tours / National Centre for Scientific Research, France), has gathered over the years a lot of data related to different research projects, stored in several databases and displayed through individual websites. In 2020, a single relational database especially thought for musical data was built, with a dedicated website, using the database management system PostgreSQL and the Python-based Web framework Django. The database focuses on three main entities – musical works, sources and people – and the website allows users to browse the data and to perform multi-criteria search queries. The musical works are organised in a complex way in order to manage aggregations, adaptations and derivatives. The prosopographical section aims to identify all the people associated with the musical world of the Renaissance by providing biographies and highlighting the main events that punctuated their personal and professional lives. The data is enriched with links to external resources such as digitisations of the sources and aligned with authority files like the VIAF and the RISM catalog. The available scores can be downloaded in different file formats, MEI and PDF in particular. Song lyrics are transcribed when available. A dedicated interface allows users to browse scores within a particular source or work. Each score can be seen and played according to several options, regarding the score display (orientation, zoom, etc.) or the audio (instrument, tempo, etc.). This interface uses the music notation engraving library Verovio, developed by the RISM Digital Center, to display the score as SVG. A side section allows users to view either the MEI code or the critical apparatus encoded in the MEI file. Annotations and variations are displayed according to the measure they belong to, with score excerpts to view variations. Logged-in users are allowed to suggest annotations, which are then reviewed by the Ricercar Lab team and inserted into the MEI file if validated.
