Leo Treitler's seventeen classic essays trace the creation and
spread of song (cantus), sacred and secular, through oral tradition
and writing, in the European Middle Ages. The author examines songs
in particular - their design, their qualities and character, their
expressive meanings, and their adaptation to their communal and
ritual roles - and explores the chances for, and the obstacles to,
our understanding of traditions that were alive a thousand years
ago. Ranging from c. 900 (when the written transmission of medieval
songs began) to 1200, Treitler shows how the earlier, purely oral
traditions can be examined only through the lens of what has been
captured in writing, and focuses on the invention and uses of
writing systems for representing these oral traditions. Each of
these seminally influential essays has been revised to take account
of recent developments, and is prefaced with a new introduction to
highlight the historical issues. The accompanying CD contains
performances of much of the music discussed.
