| Description: |
This anthology brings together the works of women poet-composers, or trouveres, in northern France in the 12th and 13th centuries. It includes the Old French texts of 75 compositions, extant music for 18 monophonic songs and 19 polyphonic motets, and an introduction. |
| Synopsis: |
This groundbreaking anthology brings together for the first time the works of women poet-composers, or trouveres, in northern France in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Refuting the long-held notion that there are no extant Old French lyrics by women from this period, the editors of the volume present songs attributed to eight named female trouveres along with a varied selection of anonymous compositions in the feminine voice that may have been composed by women. The book includes the Old French texts of seventy-five compositions, extant music for eighteen monophonic songs and nineteen polyphonic motets, English translations, and a substantial introduction. |
