In this book, John Haines presents a detailed survey of songs
performed in Vulgar Latin and early Romance languages from around
500 to 1200. The first part of the book discusses this enormous
body of neglected songs according to the categories of lament, love
song, epic and devotional song. Medieval sources - mostly
condemnations - ranging from sermons to chronicles attest to the
long life and popularity of this music performed all throughout
this period, and predominantly by women. Performance contexts range
from the burial of the dead to the nursing of infants. The study
argues for the reinstatement of female vernacular song in the
mainstream of medieval music historiography and ends with a
discussion of the neglected medieval lullaby. The second part of
the book presents an edition and informative commentary of the
dozen surviving witnesses with musical notation in the early
Romance period prior to 1200.
