Drawing upon hundreds of newly uncovered archival records, Gretchen
Peters reconstructs the music of everyday life in over twenty
cities in late medieval France. Through the comparative study of
these cities' political and musical histories, the book establishes
that the degree to which a city achieved civic authority and
independence determined the nature and use of music within the
urban setting. The world of urban minstrels beyond civic patronage
is explored through the use of diverse records; their livelihood
depended upon seeking out and securing a variety of engagements
from confraternities to bathhouses. Minstrels engaged in complex
professional relationships on a broad level, as with guilds and
minstrel schools, and on an individual level, as with partnerships
and apprenticeships. The study investigates how minstrels fared
economically and socially, recognizing the diversity within this
body of musicians in the Middle Ages from itinerant outcasts to
wealthy and respected town musicians.
