Singing in Stimmtausch ca. 1100–1350
This article examines a long-lived medieval musical practice that complicates categories of monophony and polyphony: the technique of strict voice-exchange or Stimmtausch, which involves a melody whose phrases ascend and descend through an octave, and can therefore be combined and swapped between voices, to sound in contrary-motion polyphony. Often labeled “simple” or “primitive,” Stimmtausch is here considered in relation to the category of “non…
Composers in the Middle Ages
Motet
Origins and Interactions
FOR OVER A CENTURY, scholars have debated the origins of the motet and especially the motet's relationship to another genre, the clausula. A high proportion of motets recorded in the earliest manuscript witnesses dating from around the 1240s exist also in the alternative form of clausulae, which lack any upper-voice text. This presents a chronological conundrum: do motets represent clausulae with added texts, or are clausulae instead motets strip…

The Art of Grafted Song
Comparing Compositional Process in Two Thirteenth‐Century Motets
Scholars of the earliest motets continue to be faced by questions of compositional chronology which cannot readily be resolved by the application of general theories. This article offers a detailed analysis of interactions between pre‐existent and newly created musical and textual materials in two thirteenth‐century motets. The first is D eus omnium/ REGNAT , a two‐voice Latin motet created through the addition of a text to the music of a pre‐exi…

New Texts for Old Music
This article investigates the compositional dynamics of creating texts for the music of pre-existing clausulae in three early thirteenth-century Latin motets in the Florence manuscript (Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Plut. 29.1). In general, early Latin motets are considered very faithfully to respect their clausula models. Norman Smith (1989) perceived only slight rhythmic variants between motets and clausulae, variants for which an e…
