Extant manuscripts are the principal medieval testimony to the art
of monophonic song. Literary texts and archival materials, a few
theoretical works, and numerous visual representations provide
helpful perspective, but our path to the poets and singers lies
through the efforts of scribes, and the myriad problems in
interpreting what they tell us cast a long shadow over all research
on monophonic song. The essays gathered here represent the
principal themes and issues that have occupied scholars of late
medieval monophonic songs over the last half century: their place
in history and society, the role of women as composers and
performers, poetic and musical structures, styles, and genres,
relationships between poems and melodies, written and oral
transmission, and performance practices. Studying how each of these
themes is played out across repertoires, cultures, decades, and
locations offers a rich and variegated panorama of the practice of
song in late medieval Europe.
