Family Matters
OCCITAN POETRY FAMILY MATTERS Isabel de Riquer & Andreu Comas Imagine, for a moment, a day of celebration in the court of King James I of Aragon in the mid-thirteenth century. It doesn’t matter whether the court is convened at the Royal Palace in Barcelona or in any of the crown’s other possessions. In the hall are the monarch and the Heir Apparent, Prince Peter, surrounded by their family, high counselors, their scribes and their vassals. Before them all stands Cerverí de Girona. Silence falls on the assembly: Cerverí is the court’s most famous troubadour, and he’s about to perform a brand-new song. The audience listens attentively; the minstrels play their instruments, and a few moments later Cerverí begins to sing in falsetto.1 Cerverí’s songs were always full of surprises, such as the Vers estrayn, odd tongue-twisting, childlike games that hid the words of the poem among random groups of letters: Taflamart faflama hoflomom maflamal puflumus siflima eflementrefleme boflomonaflamas geflemens...2 1 The term “falset”, used to refer to an affected voice, appears in Old French literary texts from the late Twelfth Century, like Roman de Renard: Dist Chantecler: [...] je dirai une chançon:/ n’avrai cousin si environ/ qui bien n’entende mon fauset, ed. M. Roques, II, vv. 4374-4377 (“Chantecler [a rooster] says: I’ll sing you a song / there’s no cousin in the area / who won’t understand my falsetto”). 2 Francesco Ugolini was able to decipher the phrase concealed within this Vers estrayn with the use of the Vers breu, found in manuscript Sg: Tart fa hom mal pus sia entre bona gens (Taflamart faflama hoflomom maflamal puflumus siflima eflementrefl eme boflomonaflamas geflemens...). -

Capital, Value, and Exchange in the Old Occitan and Old French Tenson (Including the Partimen and the Jeu-Parti)
Capital, Value, and Exchange in the Old Occitan and Old French Tenson (Including the Partimen and the Jeu-Parti) Eric Matheis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 @2013 Eric Matheis All rights reserved ABSTRACT Capital, Value, and Exchange in the Old Occitan and Old French Tenson (Including the Partimen and the Jeu-Parti) Eric Matheis This dissertation examines the genre of lyric debate poetry in Old Occitan and Old French known as the tenson. It evaluates the creation, performance, and diffusion of tensons from the perspective of capital—cultural, social, and economic capital. It views tensons as negotiations between poets for various types of capital. It also briefly uses game theory to analyze certain types of tensons as formal games.

Singing to Another Tune”: Contrafacture and Attribution in Troubadour Song
“SINGING TO ANOTHER TUNE”: CONTRAFACTURE AND ATTRIBUTION IN TROUBADOUR SONG DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Billee A. Bonse, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2003 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Charles M. Atkinson, Adviser Professor Graeme Boone Adviser Professor Margaret Switten School of Music Professor Karen Winstead Copyright by Billee A. Bonse 2003 ABSTRACT This study borrows the quotation in its title, “Singing to another tune,” from Las Leys d’amors (The Laws of Love), a poetic treatise compiled by Guilhem Molinier in the first half of the fourteenth century. Guilhem’s phrase pertains to a compositional technique known to modern scholars as contrafacture, in which the troubadour fashions new lyrics after the poetic structure of a preexistent song, thereby allowing his work to be sung to that earlier melody. The technique of contrafacture is documented not only by Guilhem and other contemporaneous theorists, but also by the troubadours themselves, who on a number of occasions acknowledge composing a poem “el so de,” or “to the tune of” another composer. Both theory and practice demonstrate that structural imitation came to be most closely associated with several specific genres—including the sirventes (moralizing piece), tenso (debate song), coblas (song of few strophes), and planh (lament)—whose poetic structures were commonly modeled after those of the canso, the dominant genre of troubadour composition. Despite abundant structural indications of contrafacture within the troubadour repertoire, melodic traces of the practice are surprisingly scant. Confirmation of melodic borrowing depends upon the preservation of a model and its contrafactum with their concordant musical readings, yet the small proportion of surviving troubadour melodies ii (with only one in ten lyric texts transmitted with its tune) poses a significant impediment to melodic corroboration.
