Sortisatio

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In music theory, sortisatio means spontaneous collective singing. Examples are Villanellen , Cantica Rustica and Bawrenlieder. The music theorist Heinrich Faber referred to it in his work Musica Poetica as the "untrained music-making", since sortisatio mostly appeared in church music and rural singing. The term Sortisatio, together with the Compositio , forms the Musica Poetica .

The word sortisatio comes from the Latin noun sortisatio or the verb sortisare . However, its exact origin is disputed in musicology. There is evidence that the term was used in music theory as early as the 15th century.
