Polyphony associated with the Parisian cathedral of Notre Dame
marks a historical turning point in medieval music. Yet a lack of
analytical or theoretical systems has discouraged close study of
twelfth- and thirteenth-century musical objects, despite the fact
that such creations represent the beginnings of musical composition
as we know it. Is musical analysis possible for such medieval
repertoires? Catherine A. Bradley demonstrates that it is,
presenting new methodologies to illuminate processes of musical and
poetic creation, from monophonic plainchant and vernacular French
songs, to polyphonic organa, clausulae, and motets in both Latin
and French. This book engages with questions of text-music
relationships, liturgy, and the development of notational
technologies, exploring concepts of authorship and originality as
well as practices of quotation and musical reworking.
