SUMMARY:Friday Frontiers Webinar on Building corpora of digital early music
  editions: challenges and opportunities.
DESCRIPTION:Friday 5th December 2025\, 10.30 WET / 11.30 CET / 12.30 EET\n\
 nTitle: Building corpora of digital early music editions: challenges and o
 pportunities. \n\nSpeakers: Esperanza Rodríguez (Universidad Complutens
 e de Madrid)\, Frans Wiering (Utrecht University)\, David Lewis (Universit
 y of Oxford)\, Anna Plaksin (Paderborn University).\n\nRegistration detail

 ract \n\nThis presentation shows results from the project CORSICA (Creati
 on of Early Music Corpora). This initiative\, growing from the COST action
  EarlyMuse\, is directed by Frans Wiering (Universiteit Utrecht)\, with th
 e participation of researchers from Spain\, the Netherlands\, the UK\, Ger
 many\, Austria\, and Sweden. The project sprang from the need to create a 
 large corpus of early music data\, coherently encoded and curated data tha
 t could be used for computer analysis\, facilitating big-data studies. Hen
 ce\, the research aims to improve the number of available corpora of Renai
 ssance music by devising protocols to create collections of digital editio
 ns and\, equally important\, to facilitate the reuse of a sizable number o
 f editions produced by a myriad of “citizen scientists” without much s
 ystematisation.\n\nAbout the speakers \n\nEsperanza Rodríguez is a “R
 amón y Cajal” researcher at the Music Department of the Universidad Com
 plutense de Madrid. She received a PhD at The University of Manchester (20
 10). Since then\, she has worked at research institutions in the UK\, Port
 ugal\, and France. Primarily a cultural musicologist specialising in Renai
 ssance music\, she has added an interest in digital musicology\, especiall
 y in the field of musical analysis (CRIM-Project) and the recreation and d
 issemination of musical heritage (project ‘Experiencing Historical Sound
 scapes: the Royal Entries of Emperor Charles V in Iberian Cities’).\n\nF
 rans Wiering is an Associate Professor at the Music Information Computing
  group of the Department of Information and Computing Sciences of Utrecht 
 University (Netherlands). He received a Ph.D. in Musicology from the Unive
 rsity of Amsterdam (Netherlands) in 1995 for his dissertation “The Langu
 age of the Modes” on the richness and variety of modality in 16th- and 1
 7th-century music. The three main areas of his current research are music 
 information retrieval\, computational musicology\, and interactive technol
 ogies\, which he combines in his ongoing work on the use and acceptance of
  new technologies in musicological research. He is the founder of the Thes
 aurus Musicarum Italicarum\, a corpus of online music treatises by Giosef
 fo Zarlino and his contemporaries (https://tmiweb.science.uu.nl/). He co-c
 hairs the International Musicological Society’s Study Group on Digital M
 usicology.\n\nDavid Lewis is a researcher at the University of Oxford e-R
 esearch Centre in Oxford and Lecturer in Computer Science at Goldsmiths\, 
 University of London\, where he teaches Digital Humanities. He studied his
 torical musicology at King’s College London and has since worked on a wi
 de range of digital musicology and digital humanities projects\, including
  lute tablatures\, medieval and early modern music treatises\, arrangement
 s of concert works for domestic settings\, and composer work catalogues.\n
 \nAnna Plaksin is currently a professor of Digital Methods in Music and M
 edia Editing at KreativInstitut.OWL (Paderborn University). After studying
  musicology\, media education\, and philosophy in Mainz (Germany)\, was aw
 arded her PhD in 2020 by the Technical University of Darmstadt for her dis
 sertation “Models for the computational analysis of mensural music tradi
 tions. Empirical text studies in the context of phylogenetic methods”. S
 he worked previously on the research projects “Interpreting the Mensural
  Notation of Music” (Royal Birmingham Conservatoire\, Birmingham City Un
 iversity)\, “Corpus Musicae Ottomanicae” (Max Weber Foundation\, Bonn)
 \, and “Virtual Research Infrastructure for the Humanities” (Johannes 
 Gutenberg University Mainz). Her research focuses on music encoding\, corp
 us building\, the development of software tools for interactive music scor
 es\, and the development of analytical methods for musical corpora.
