EIGHT CENTURIES OF TROUBADOURS
AND TROUV ERES
This book traces the changing interpretation oftroubadour and
trouvere music, a repertoire ofsongs which have successfully main-
tained public interest for eight centuries, from the medieval chan-
sonniers to contemporary rap renditions. A study oftheir reception
therefore serves to illustrate the development of the modern concept
of‘medieval music’. Important stages include sixteenth-century anti-
quarianism, the Enlightenment synthesis ofscholarly and popular
traditions, and the infusion of archaeology and philology in the nine-
teenth century, leading to more recent theories on medieval rhythm.
More often than not, writers and performers have negotiated a com-
promise between historical research and a more imaginative approach
to envisioning the music ofthe troubadours and trouveres. This book
points not so much to a resurrection ofmedieval music in modern
times as to a continuous tradition ofinterpreting these songs over
eight centuries.
