Throughout medieval Europe, male and female religious communities
attached to churches, abbeys, and schools participated in
devotional music making outside of the chanted liturgy. Newly
collating over 400 songs from primary sources, this book reveals
the role of Latin refrains and refrain songs in the musical lives
of religious communities by employing novel interdisciplinary and
analytical approaches to the study of medieval song. Through
interpretive frameworks focused on time and temporality,
performance, memory, inscription, and language, each chapter offers
an original perspective on how refrains were created, transmitted,
and performed. Arguing for the Latin refrain's significance as a
marker of form and meaning, this book identifies it as a tool that
communities used to negotiate their lived experiences of liturgical
and calendrical time; to confirm their communal identity and
belonging to song communities; and to navigate relationships
between Latin and vernacular song and dance that emerge within
their multilingual contexts.
