Question

Note to players: You may give your answers in either English or the language of origin. Two answers required. In the preface to Book VIII of his madrigals, Monteverdi changes a system defined by these two terms by replacing one with both concitato and temperato, forming three genera of emotions. In modern scores, notations historically called these two terms are placed above notes to indicate implied musica ficta. The “natural” hexachord is named for having no notes whose mi and fa versions needed to be distinguished by these two historical terms, which respectively appear in hexachords (*) named for these two terms starting on G and F. The notes H and B are distinguished by historical signs named for these two terms, (-5[1])respectively evolving into the natural and sharp signs and the flat sign. In German, abbreviations for these two terms in Latin are used to denote major and minor keys. For 10 points, name these two terms denoting contrasting rigidity. (10[5]0[3])■END■

ANSWER: Durum and molle [accept hard and soft; prompt on sharp and flat, or natural and flat before “natural,” by asking “what were the historical terms for those?”]
