This 2004 book traces the changing interpretation of troubadour and
trouvere music, a repertoire of songs which have successfully
maintained public interest for eight centuries, from the medieval
chansonniers to contemporary rap renditions. A study of their
reception therefore serves to illustrate the development of the
modern concept of 'medieval music'. Important stages include
sixteenth-century antiquarianism, the Enlightenment synthesis of
scholarly and popular traditions and the infusion of archaeology
and philology in the nineteenth century, leading to more recent
theories on medieval rhythm. More often than now, writers and
performers have negotiated a compromise between historical research
and a more imaginative approach to envisioning the music of
troubadours and trouveres. This book points not so much to a
resurrection of medieval music in modern times as to a continuous
tradition of interpreting these songs over eight centuries.
