Guillaume de Machaut was the foremost poet-composer of his time.
Studies look at all aspects of his prodigious output. Guillaume de
Machaut (1300-1377) is regarded as the greatest French
poet-composer of the middle ages, as he was during his lifetime. A
trained secretary, with a passion for collecting, copying and
ordering his own work, the numberof surviving notated musical works
attributed to him far exceeds that of any of his contemporaries.
All the main genres of song - lais, virelais, balades, and rondeaux
- together with Machaut's motets, and his famous Masscycle are
considered here from a variety of perspectives. These incorporate
the latest scholarly understanding of both Machaut's poetry and
music, and the material form they take when notated in the
surviving manuscripts. The bookthus presents a detailed picture of
the current range of interpretative approaches to Machaut's music,
focusing variously on counterpoint, musica ficta, text setting,
musico-poetic meanings, citation and intertextuality, tonality, and
compositional method. Several of Machaut's works are discussed by a
pair of contributors, who reach conclusions at times mutually
reinforcing or complementary, at times contradictory and mutually
exclusive. That Machaut's music thrives on such constructive debate
and disagreement is a tribute to his scope as an artist, and his
musico-poetic achievement. Contributors: JENNIFER BAIN, MARGARET

This specially commissioned collection of thirteen essays explores
the life and works of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), monastic
founder, leader of a community of nuns, composer, active
correspondent, and writer of religious visions, theological
treatises, sermons, and scientific and medical texts. Aimed at
advanced university students and new Hildegard researchers, the
essays provide a broad context for Hildegard's life and monastic
setting, and offer comprehensive discussions on each of the main
areas of her output. Engagingly written by experts in medieval
history, theology, German literature, musicology, and the history
of medicine, the essays are grounded in Hildegard's twelfth-century
context, and investigate her output within its monastic and
liturgical environments, her reputation during and after her life,
and the materiality of the transmission of her works, considering
aspects of manuscript layout, illumination, and scribal practices
at her Rupertsberg monastery.

Since her death in 1179, Hildegard of Bingen has commanded
attention in every century. In this book Jennifer Bain traces the
historical reception of Hildegard, focusing particularly on the
moment in the modern era when she began to be considered as a
composer. Bain examines how the activities of clergy in
nineteenth-century Eibingen resulted in increased veneration of
Hildegard, an authentication of her relics, and a rediscovery of
her music. The book goes on to situate the emergence of Hildegard's
music both within the French chant restoration movement driven by
Solesmes and the German chant revival supported by Cecilianism, the
German movement to reform Church music more generally. Engaging
with the complex political and religious environment in German
speaking areas, Bain places the more recent Anglophone revival of
Hildegard's music in a broader historical perspective and reveals
the important intersections amongst local devotion, popular
culture, and intellectual activities.

Osip Mandelstam is, with Boris Pasternak, a major Russian poet of
the twentieth century, yet most of the attention paid him by modern
scholars has been confined to the years 1908-1925, when he was
working on his first three collections of poetry: his subsequent
collections, comprising over two-thirds of his poetic output, are
very little known. In this 1977 study, the first devoted to
Mandelstam's life and work between 1930 and 1937, Dr Baines'
concern is to dispel the view that Mandelstam's later poetry is
weak or obscure and to clarify the many misconceptions which have
surrounded it. To this end, she provides a continuous narrative of
the events which form the background to composition, although she
concentrates on the poems themselves, their nature and
interpretation, quoting liberally in Russian.
