Abstract

The Eglantine Table at Hardwick Hall (c.1568) was probably crafted to commemorate marriages made between the Hardwick-Cavendish and Talbot families. In addition to various heraldic symbols, the table’s friezes depict gaming paraphernalia, thirteen musical instruments, and several music books, including a stacked score of a devotional song by Thomas Tallis: ‘O Lord, in thee is all my trust’. While there is thorough existing scholarship on what the Eglantine Table depicts, this article explores what can be inferred about the contemporary value of musical recreation from how meaning was produced in the table’s iconography using a ‘material approach’ to music as both an object and also a sounding body. This article demonstrates why recreation, including music-making, is defined most prominently by why people choose to engage in it and the human actions that make recreation happen. Viewed in this fresh light, the Eglantine Table, including its musical iconography and notation, offers insight into the meaning of musical recreation and the values that shaped domestic interiors, objects and social bonds in an early modern English aristocratic home.

摘要

哈德威克厅（Edlantine Table）的埃格兰汀餐桌（c.1568）可能是为了纪念Hardwick-Cavendish家族和Talbot家族之间的婚姻。除了各种纹章符号外，桌子上的饰条还刻画了游戏用具，十三种乐器和几本音乐书，其中包括托马斯·塔利斯（Thomas Tallis）的一叠灵修歌曲：“主啊，在我这里是我的全部信任”。尽管对“ Eglantine桌子”的描述已有充分的学术研究，但本文探讨了音乐娱乐的当代价值，可以从桌子的肖像学中如何使用“物质方法”将音乐既作为对象又作为对象来产生意义，从而推断出音乐娱乐的当代价值。一个健全的身体。本文说明了为什么娱乐（包括音乐制作）在人们选择参与娱乐的原因以及使娱乐发生的人类行为上得到最显着的定义。
