This book is the first full-length study of the courtly love songs
of the trouvere to address the central musical problems of the
repertoire as a whole, embracing source studies, interpretation,
historiography, and analysis. The argument of the book revolves
around three axes, each of which is essential to the appreciation
of the others: problems concerning the extant manuscript tradition;
the crucial role of orality; and stylistic changes and plurality in
the reperotire. For the first time, a full overview of the sources
and notation is undertaken. This reveals the idiosyncrasies of
individual manuscripts but, more importantly, it identifies two
basic phases in the manuscript tradition. The study of melodic
variants reveals the performance art that lies at the heart of the
courtly grand chant; processes and techniques of variation are
examined, bringing us to a closer understanding of the tenets of
the melodic art of the early trouveres. A close study of select
trouveres from the different generation reveals stylstic change and
plurality, particularly in the melodic art which in some respects
was less prescribed than the poetic texts. Consequently the courtly
songs of the trouveres truly come alive in this book.
