The first full-length study of how motets were used and performed
in the fifteenth century, this book dispels the mystery surrounding
these outstanding works of vocal polyphony. It covers four areas of
intense compositional activity: England, the Veneto, Bruges and
Cambrai, with reference to the works of Dunstaple, Forest, Ciconia,
Grenon and Du Fay. In every documented instance, motets functioned
as ceremonial vehicles, whether voiced in procession through the
streets of a city or the chapel of a king, at the guild chapel of a
parish church or the high altar of a cathedral. The motet was an
entirely vocal genre that changed radically during the period from
1400 to 1475. Robert Nosow outlines the motet's social history,
demonstrating how the incorporation of different texts, musical
dialects, cantus firmus materials and melodic styles represents an
important key to the evolution of the genre, and its adaptability
to widely variant ritual circumstances.
