Contextualising the contrafacta of trouvere song by Quinlan, M

“…Rather than making a case for contrafacture among songs whose shared melodies are questionable, this dissertation provides a context rich perspective on certain groups of 'close contrafacta'—songs whose status as contrafacta is already known and supported by strong musical, textual, and contextual evidence. In five case studies, all of which take at least one song from the trouvère repertory, and which represent the most common contrafact genres—political serventois, Marian song, and crusade song—I consider the ways in which their melodies could signify. …”
