Secular music of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries encompasses
an extraordinarily wide range of works and practices: courtly love
songs, music for civic festivities, instrumental music,
entertainments provided by minstrels, the unwritten traditions of
solo singing, and much else. This collection of essays addresses
many of these practices, with a focus on polyphonic settings of
vernacular texts, examining their historical and stylistic
contexts, their transmission in written and printed sources,
questions of performance, and composers' approaches to text
setting. Essays have been selected to reflect the wide range of
topics that have occupied scholars in recent decades, and taken
together, they point to the more general significance of secular
music within a broad complex of cultural practices and
institutions.
