Playing the citation game in the late fourteenth-century chanson - February 2003
In the February 2003 issue of Early Music (pp.20-39), Yolanda Plumley's article 'Playing the citation game in the late 14th-century chanson' discusses ways in which songs of the period sometimes intentionally cross-refer to one another, and draws attention to performance issues that are raised by those quotations. By clicking on the links below, you can hear performances of the six examples that are variously notated, discussed and reproduced in colour facsimile in her article. The recordings were specially made for this website by the Orlando Consort, and were funded in part by the Arts Faculty, University College Cork.
