The ars antiqua began to be mentioned in writings about music in
the early decades of the fourteenth century, where it was cited
along with references to a more modern "art", an ars nova. It was
understood by those who coined the notion to be rooted in the
musical practices outlined in the Ars musica of Lambertus and,
especially, the Ars cantus mensurabilis of Franco of Cologne.
Directly or indirectly the essays collected in this volume all
address one or more of the issues regarding ars antiqua
polyphony-questions relating to the nature and definition of genre;
the evolution of the polyphonic idiom; the workings of the creative
process including the role of oral process and notation and the
continuum between these extremes; questions about how this music
was used and understood; and of how it fits into the intellectual
life of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Some of the essays
ask new questions or approach long-standing ones from fresh
perspectives. All, however, are rooted in a line of scholarship
that produced a body of writing of continuing relevance.
