The
Medieval Lyric,
a set of Anthologies and compact discs, and Teaching
Medieval Lyric with Modern Technology, a CD-ROM application,
offer to interested colleagues a variety of materials for
the teaching of medieval song. These materials include recordings
of the songs, modern musical and textual transcriptions
and facing English translations, selected readings for pronunciation,
and related manuscript images.
Brief commentaries and longer essays by noted scholars show
how the materials can be adapted to different types of courses.
The
repertories stretch from the 11th to the 14th centuries
and include monastic songs from Saint Martial of Limoges;
troubadour and trouvère songs; songs and miracles
by Gautier de Coinci (in Teaching Medieval Lyric with
Modern Technology only); Guillaume de Machaut, Remede
de Fortune; songs from Germany and England (in The
Medieval Lyric only); and selected Cantigas of
Alfonso X, the Learned (in Teaching Medieval Lyric with
Modern Technology only).
The
specialists who have participated in the elaboration of
the materials are listed under "Staff."
All
songs included in the materials have been recorded by outstanding
artists in the field. The names of these artists may be
found under "Performers."
The
high-quality digital recordings were produced for the programs.
They are consequently fully coordinated with texts, translations,
and, for the CD-ROM, with manuscript images.
In addition
to description of the materials themselves, and an ORDER
FORM, this web site will offer information on recordings
and recent bibliography in the field as well as links to
other sites of interest, which may be accessed by clicking
on "Other resources" and "Links."
