{"product_id":"malmariee-in-the-thirteenth-century-motet","title":"Malmariée in the Thirteenth-Century Motet","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis monograph offers a comprehensive study of the topos of the \u003ci\u003emalmariée\u003c\/i\u003e or the unhappily married woman within the thirteenth-century motet repertory, a vocal genre characterized by several different texts sounding simultaneously over a foundational Latin chant. Part I examines the \u003ci\u003emalmariée\u003c\/i\u003e motets from three vantage points: (1) in light of contemporaneous canonist views on marriage; (2) to what degree the French \u003ci\u003emalmariée \u003c\/i\u003etexts in the upper voices treat the messages inherent in the underlying Latin chant through parody and\/or allegory; and (3) interactions among upper-voice texts that invite additional interpretations focused on gender issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II investigates the transmission profile of the motets, as well as of their refrains, revealing not only intertextual refrain usage between the motets and other genres, but also a significant number of shared refrains between \u003ci\u003emalmariée\u003c\/i\u003e motets and other motets. Part II furthermore offers insights on the chronology of composition within a given intertextual refrain nexus, and examines how a refrain’s meaning can change in a new context. Finally, based on the transmission profile, Part II argues for a lively interest in the topos in the 1270s and 1280s, both through composition of new motets and compilation of earlier ones, with Paris and Arras playing a prominent role.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54237047161176,"sku":"9781032371207","price":61.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032371207.jpg?v=1769018437","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/malmariee-in-the-thirteenth-century-motet","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
