Music played an exceptionally important role in the late Middle
Ages - articulating people's social, psychological and
eschatological needs. The process began with the training of
choirboys whose skill was key to institutional identity. That skill
was closely cultivated and directly sought by kings and emperors,
who intervened directly in recruitment of choirboys and older
singers in order to build and articulate their self-image and
perceived status. Using the documentation of an exceptionally well
preserved archive, this book focuses on music's functioning in an
important church in late Medieval Northern France. It explores a
period when musicians from this region set the agenda across
Europe, developing what is still some of the most sophisticated
music in the Western musical tradition. The book allows a close
focus not on the great achievements of those who cultivated this
music, but on the personal motivations that shaped their life and
work.
