Troubadour Melodies Discography Troubadour Melodies Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber This discography of troubadour songs is based on Hendrik van der Werf’s edition, The Extant Troubadour Melodies (Rochester NY, 1984), which is arranged alphabetically by composer. It is newly compiled for this series, formatted to match the Du Fay and Josquin des Prez discographies on this website. Recorded titles are in bold; each composer’s name is in bold on its first occurrence. Titles that do not match the Van der Werf edition, many of them contrafacta, are omitted, except for A l’entrada del tens clar (at the end), by way of exception. The excellent work of Pierre Roberge and Todd McComb in www.medieval.org/emfaq has furnished numerous additional entries (generally, those that lack timings and verses). Michael Gray’s website, classical-discography.org, provided details of some entries. Elizabeth Aubrey, the author of The Music of the Troubadours (Indiana University Press, 1996, pb 2000) responded to questions about verses of some recordings, pointing out the discrepancy between various manuscripts and editions in the order of verses and, in general, the problems of spelling, The works and their composers are listed by the page number in the Van der Werf edition and followed by the numbers of Alfred Pillet and Henry Carstens, Bibliographie der Troubadours (Halle, 1933, not available to the compiler). The recordings are arranged chronologically, citing conductor, ensemble, date of recording if known, timing if available, and the verses included if known. Following is the issued format (78, 45, LP, 45LP, MC, CD, SACD), the label, the issue number(s), and album title. Verses are identified (without the benefit of a text edition) by comparison with the presumably complete recordings of each piece; the envois are not counted. It may be noted that about 2,500 troubadour song texts survive, of which Van der Werf has edited the surviving melodies of 236 chansons. This list indicates that at least 230 of them have been recorded. Additions and corrections may be conveyed to the compiler for inclusion in a revised version of the work.

    Cambridge University Press 0521574730 - The Troubadours: An Introduction Edited by Simon Gaunt and Sarah Kay Excerpt More information Introduction Simon Gaunt and Sarah Kay The troubadours, like other celebrities, need no introduction. They are part of the furniture of our cultural knowledge, an unfor- gettable heirloom in the European heritage. Who has not heard of the courtly world they ornamented and entertained, voicing for it the exquisite refinements of medieval love? For a glamorous period, this tradition of poet-composer-performers (460 of whose names we know) dazzled Southern French and neighbouring Euro- pean courts with their songs (some 2,500 of which survive) in which passion and decorum are craftily combined.1 Although this period was relatively short-lived (c. 1100 –c. 1300), its spark was sufficient to light the broader flame of subsequent European poetry. The rise of courtliness, in the senses both of ‘courtly love’ and ‘courtly living’, in which the troubadours played a determining role, helped to shape mainstream Western culture; while their commentaries as moralists, and as political and cultural critics, provide vital testimony to the attitudes which underlie and helped to form our own. The significance of the troubadours is acknowledged in the space assigned to them in many different academic contexts: as part of the history of European poetry and music; as evidence for the history of social, gender and sexual relations, and the political and ideological world of medieval Europe; as a strand in the linguistic diversity of the Romance languages. The range of these contexts, however, suggests the complexity of the phenomenon.

Its purpose is to extract the images of women as depicted in and through the vocabulary and the imagery. The study of vocabulary and imagery seemed the best way to understand the significance and the richness of the types of women depicted in the poems: the conscious woman, the authoritative figure, the fighter, the lover, the beloved, the uncourtly woman.

This has led on the one hand to functional approaches that treat the authors as a class subject to sociological analysis, and on the other to approaches that emphasize the fictionality of Minnesang as a form of role- playing in which genre conventions supersede individual contributions. I argue that the men who composed and performed these songs at court were, in fact, using them to create and curate individual profiles for themselves.

  • Troubadours NEW GROVE
    Troubadours, trouvères. Lyric poets or poet-musicians of France in the 12th and 13th centuries. It is customary to describe as troubadours those poets who worked in the south of France and wrote in Provençal, the langue d’oc , whereas the trouvères worked in the north of France and wrote in French, the langue d’oil . I. Troubadour poetry 1. Introduction. The troubadours were the earliest and most significant exponents of the arts of music and poetry in medieval Western vernacular culture. Their influence spread throughout the Middle Ages and beyond into French (the trouvères, see §II below), German, Italian, Spanish, English and other European languages. The first centre of troubadour song seems to have been Poitiers, but the main area extended from the Atlantic coast south of Bordeaux in the west, to the Alps bordering on Italy in the east. There were also ‘schools’ of troubadours in northern Italy itself and in Catalonia. Their influence, of course, spread much more widely. Pillet and Carstens (1933) named 460 troubadours; about 2600 of their poems survive, with melodies for roughly one in ten. The principal troubadours include AIMERIC DE PEGUILHAN ( c1190–c1221), ARNAUT DANIEL ( fl c1180–95), ARNAUT DE MAREUIL ( fl c1195), BERNART DE VENTADORN ( fl c1147–70), BERTRAN DE BORN ( fl c1159–95; d 1215), Cerveri de Girona ( fl c1259–85), FOLQUET DE MARSEILLE ( fl c1178–95; d 1231), GAUCELM FAIDIT ( fl c1172–1203), GUILLAUME IX , Duke of Aquitaine (1071–1126), GIRAUT DE BORNELH ( fl c1162–99), GUIRAUT RIQUIER ( fl c1254–92), JAUFRE RUDEL ( fl c1125–48), MARCABRU ( fl c1130–49), PEIRE D ’ALVERNHE ( fl c1149–68; d 1215), PEIRE CARDENAL ( fl c1205–72), PEIRE VIDAL ( fl c1183–c1204), PEIROL ( c1188–c1222), RAIMBAUT D ’AURENGA ( c1147–73), RAIMBAUT DE VAQEIRAS ( fl c1180–1205), RAIMON DE MIRAVAL ( fl c1191–c1229) and Sordello ( fl c1220–69; d 1269).

  • Una Vida Per Due Trovatori: Arnaut De Tintinhac E Peire De Valeria
    UNA VIDA PER DUE TROVATORI: ARNAUT DE TINTINHAC E PEIRE DE VALERIA l destino del poeta a noi noto col nome di Peire de Valeria è intrec- I ciato a quello di Arnaut de Tintinhac per via di molti interrogativi, noti ai provenzalisti, a tutt’oggi insoluti; mi ripropongo di tornare su quei problemi, cercando di analizzarne alcuni punti e avanzare nuove ipotesi di lavoro senza, peraltro, pretendere di dirimere la questione con risposte univoche.1 Nei canzonieri I e K si legge, prima della canzone Lo ioi comens en un bel mes (BdT 34.2), questa breve vida: Peire de Valeria si fo de Gascoigna, de la terra de N’Arnaut Guillem de Marsan. Joglars fo el temps et en la saison que fo Marcabrus, e fez vers, tals com hom fazia adoncs, de paubra valor, de foillas e de flors e de cans d’ausels. Sei cantar non aguen gran valor, ni el.2 Di per sé la vida non offre elementi di particolare rilievo, se non la pre- cisazione del luogo d’origine del trovatore con la citazione d’un perso- naggio (evidentemente ben piú noto) e il breve ragguaglio circa la pecu- liarità del soggetto trattato nelle liriche (le foglie, i fiori e i canti d’uccelli).3 I problemi sorgono allorché si tenga conto del fatto che la canzone a cui la vida si riferisce, Lo ioi comens en un bel mes (BdT 34.2), è attribuita a Peire solo da IKd, mentre è data dagli altri canzonieri ad Arnaut de Tintinhac – nel cui testo attribuibile si parla, invero, di fiori, foglie e canti d’uccelli – e contestualmente gli altri testi noti di Peire de Valeria non sembrano corrispondere alla descrizione stilistica della bre- 1 Io stesso, nell’editare i testi del primo, per ragioni di coerenza con il progetto editoriale intrapreso, non ebbi la possibilità di affrontarli (Viel 2011).

  • Levitsky Dissertation
    The Song from the Singer: Personification, Embodiment, and Anthropomorphization in Troubadour Lyric Anne Levitsky Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Anne Levitsky All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Song from the Singer: Personification, Embodiment, and Anthropomorphization in Troubadour Lyric Anne Levitsky This dissertation explores the relationship of the act of singing to being a human in the lyric poetry of the troubadours, traveling poet-musicians who frequented the courts of contemporary southern France in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. In my dissertation, I demonstrate that the troubadours surpass traditionally-held perceptions of their corpus as one entirely engaged with themes of courtly romance and society, and argue that their lyric poetry instead both displays the influence of philosophical conceptions of sound, and critiques notions of personhood and sexuality privileged by grammarians, philosophers, and theologians. I examine a poetic device within troubadour songs that I term ‘personified song’—an occurrence in the lyric tradition where a performer turns toward the song he/she is about to finish singing and directly addresses it. This act lends the song the human capabilities of speech, motion, and agency. It is through the lens of the ‘personified song’ that I analyze this understudied facet of troubadour song. Chapter One argues that the location of personification in the poetic text interacts with the song’s melodic structure to affect the type of personification the song undergoes, while exploring the ways in which singing facilitates the creation of a body for the song.

    Setting bounds in a homogeneous corpus: a methodological study applied to medieval literature Jean–Baptiste Camps∗, Florian Cafiero∗∗ ∗Laboratoire Études et édition de textes médiévaux (EA 4349) Université Paris – Sorbonne 1, rue Victor Cousin 75005 Paris [email protected] http://www.paris-sorbonne.fr/ ∗∗École centrale de Paris Grande voie des Vignes 92295 Châtenay-Malabry CEDEX florian.cafi[email protected] http://polytechnique.academia.edu/FlorianCafiero Abstract. The authors present here an exploratory and unspecific method that does not necessitate any a priori on the data – or any heavy trans- formation such as lemmatisation– that would have to be understood as a first step in the apprehension of a corpus. After a first phase of calibra- tion, based on a control sample, the authors will introduce a method which heuristic value is to bring out, at different levels, internal divisions of dif- ferent kinds (diachronic, diatopic, related to authorship or scribes,. ), that can then be analysed specifically. The authors illustrate this method by applying it to a corpus of Occitan medieval texts, the vidas. The cor- pus’s authors and origins are in good part unknown. 1 A peculiar corpus: the vidas 1.1 Elements of context Amongst the relatively small corpus of Occitan prose literature from the XIIIth century that has survived to this day, the vidas, along with the razos, constitute a corpus of roughly 225 texts known as the “biographies” of the troubadours since Raynouard’s edition in 1820. Several debates surround these texts’ origin: were they performed at first or were they created specifically to be integrated into manuscripts? Did they appear in Northern Italy or do they come from an older Languedocian tradition? Despite the lack of medieval unambiguous vocabulary, there is an apparent distinction between commentaries, explanation of a specific poem (a razo), and more general biographical narratives detached from a specific work (vidas as we call them).
