Devotion to Saint Anne, the apocryphal mother of the Virgin Mary,
reached its height in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries.
Until now, Anne's reception history and political symbolism during
this period have been primarily discussed through the lens of art
history. This is the first study to explore the music that honored
the saint and its connections to some of the most prominent court
cultures of western Europe. Michael Alan Anderson examines
plainchant and polyphonic music for Saint Anne, in sources both
familiar and previously unstudied, to illuminate not only Anne's
wide-ranging intercessional capabilities but also the political
force of the music devoted to her. Whether viewed as a fertility
aide, wise mother, or dynastic protector, she modeled a number of
valuable roles that rulers reflected in the music of their
devotional programs to project their noble lineage and prestige.
