Late medieval motet texts are brimming with chimeras, centaurs and
other strange creatures. In The Monstrous New Art, Anna Zayaruznaya
explores the musical ramifications of this menagerie in the works
of composers Guillaume de Machaut, Philippe de Vitry, and their
contemporaries. Aligning the larger forms of motets with the broad
sacred and secular themes of their texts, Zayaruznaya shows how
monstrous or hybrid exempla are musically sculpted by rhythmic and
textural means. These divisive musical procedures point to the
contradictory aspects not only of explicitly monstrous bodies, but
of such apparently unified entities as the body politic, the
courtly lady, and the Holy Trinity. Zayaruznaya casts a new light
on medieval modes of musical representation, with profound
implications for broader disciplinary narratives about the history
of text-music relations, the emergence of musical unity, and the
ontology of the musical work.
