Summary:

Mary O'Neill examines the legacy of the medieval poet composers of Northern France, the trouvères. For many years difficulties concerning the surviving melodies have prevented access to the songs, but many of these problems have been addressed here bringing us closer to a true understanding of the repertoire.

The melodic art of the trouvères : orality and the question of melodic variants
