Description: |
The texts of several medieval motets praise contemporary musicians. Bernard(?) de Cluny’s Apollinis eclipsatur honours a company of mid-fourteenth-century French musicians, while in Sub arturo plebs Johannes Alanus (John Aleyn) celebrates a galaxy of English musicians active in the reigns of Edward III and Richard II. Each motet has two texted parts for solo singers above a plainchant-derived supporting line which can be vocalised, sung to the words of the original chant, or played instrumentally. i + 13 pages.
