The Provenance, Date, and Patron of Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Douce 308
This article addresses fundamental questions about the exact provenance, purpose, and possible patron of the manuscript Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Douce 308 (D308), starting from new syntheses of older scholarship, and proceeding to fresh hypotheses via additional new evidence. Such new evidence includes refinements to the identification of individuals named in the jeux-partis in D308, and the recognition of a previously unremarked piece of gil…
Which Came First, the Demandes d’amours or the Jeu-Parti? Evidence from Oxford, Bodleian Library, MS Douce 308
The relationship between the two genres of demandes d’amours and jeux-partis, the first a short-form exchange in prose, the other an extended debate in sung poetry, has been argued to be that of informal oral model to later formal written art form. The origins of the jeu-parti are presumed to be found in the tradition of demandes. By considering the earliest written collection of demandes, however—that found in the manuscript Bodleian Library, Do…
The Middle Ages
This chapter outlines some of the varied relationships between music and philosophy in the Middle Ages. As one of the disciplines of the mathematical quadrivium, musica concerns issues of acoustics but the notation and ontology of music additionally relate to grammar, logic, and rhetoric. Furthermore, music is related to the boundaries between human and non-human animals and overlaps with, while not being completely subsumed by, sonic practices. …
Music and Instruments of the Middle Ages
Do Trouvère Melodies Mean Anything
This article offers analyses of three songs by Blondel de Nesle: Onques maiz nus hom ne chanta , En tous tens que vente bise and A l'entree de la saison . It proposes that close attention to individual songs is a necessary preliminary to amassing data on overall norms that will reciprocally affect the way those individual songs are interpreted editorially and thus understood analytically. This hermeneutic circle between analysis and editing is un…

Recent Trends in the Study of Music of the Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Sixteenth Centuries
Leonardo da Vinci famously characterized music as “giving shape ... to invisible things”;1 the authors of these three essays on recent trends in the study of music illuminate a range of scholarly strategies that interpret and render meaningful the fleeting sounds of music. Two of the essays, by Elizabeth Eva Leach and Kate van Orden, trace some ramifications of the cultural turn in music research. As in other humanistic disciplines, musicologists…
The sound of beauty
The dangers associated with the sound of beauty are all too apparent in one of the earliest texts in the Western literary canon. On his way back from the Trojan war Odysseus is able to hear one of the most famous sounds of beauty in literature: the song of the sirens. Unlike the unfortunate sailors who had gone before him, however, cunning Odysseus is prepared. Earlier in the story, Circe had given him a detailed warning about the trials to come.…
Music and Verbal Meaning
Our modern experience of songs and singing, whether expert, amateur, or entirely uninformed and passive, is almost completely misleading when it comes to appreciating the singing of late-medieval lyric. My focus in this article is on polyphonic songs that align several texts for simultaneous delivery—a somewhat special category of work. However, the fact of music's indispensability for these pieces reflects the broader cultural use of music as a …

The Chansonnier of Oxford Bodleian MS Douce 308
The manuscript Oxford, Bodleian Library, Douce 308 is indeed a fascinating source. Its nearly 300 folios contain three courtly narratives (two in poetry, one in prose), plus two eschatological-allegorical works, between which is a large collection of anonymous lyrics arranged in seven sections. Because it is without musical notation and without authorial attributions, it has lain at the edge of both musicological and literary scholarship since it…
The Little Pipe Sings Sweetly while the Fowler Deceives the Bird
The figure of the siren in the Renaissance and later has attracted a good deal of attention, especially from scholars interested in the history of gender. but the role of sirens in the Middle Ages has received much less consideration, at least from musicologists. The siren serves as a metaphor for human singing and musical femininity in a number of texts ranging from the sixth to the fourteenth centuries. In particular, her medieval hybridism as …
Vicars of 'Wannabe
Popular notions of value in art - even popular definitions of art itself - are much indebted to the idealist narratives of late romanticism and its maximalised form, elite modernism. Since artistic value is normally imputed to one side of a dialectically related pair of oppositional terms, two principal strategies exist by which to ascribe value to the music you love, find interesting, or want to study: either show how it merits the positive term…
