The Conductus repertory is the body of monophonic and polyphonic
non-liturgical Latin song that dominated European culture from the
middle of the twelfth century to the beginning of the fourteenth.
In this book, Mark Everist demonstrates how the poetry and music
interact, explores how musical structures are created, and
discusses the geographical and temporal reach of the genre,
including its significance for performance today. The volume
studies what medieval society thought of the Conductus, its
function in medieval society - whether paraliturgical or in other
contexts - and how it fitted into patristic and secular Latin
cultures. The Conductus emerges as a genre of great poetic and
musical sophistication that brought the skills of poets and
musicians into alignment. This book provides an all-encompassing
view of an important but unexplored repertory of medieval music,
engaging with both poetry and music even-handedly to present new
and up-to-date perspectives on the genre.
