This book thrusts the reader into the intellectual turmoil of
medieval Europe. In interrelated studies of largely unexplored
material dating from the ninth through to the fourteenth centuries,
the contributors explore changes in functions and forms of
liturgical poetry and music, and of biblical interpretation.
Although the twelfth century constitutes the main focus, the
phenomena dealt with here had roots in earlier times and remained
in circulation in later centuries. The cultural heritage of the
Carolingian intellectuals tied to the palace school of Charles the
Bald is examined in a liturgical context. Forms and ideas from this
period were reused and transformed in the twelfth century, as
represented here by sequences, tropes, Abelard's poetry, the gloss
to Lamentations, and ritual representations or 'liturgical drama'.
The two final chapters treat fourteenth-century uses and
understandings of Boethius's De institutione musica and the new
genre of sequence commentaries, both dealing with later medieval
views on music theory and liturgical poetry from an earlier period,
thus connecting the end of the book to its beginning. The sections
are interspersed with philosophical reflections on overriding
themes of the contributions. The volume concludes with an anthology
of poetic texts in Latin with English translations and musical
transcriptions.
