Chansons and Musical Relation to Poetry in the 15th Century
I have been fascinated by secular repertoire of the 15th century for a while now, especially its secular songs. So I took a directed study in Fall 2024, and produced a paper out of it, which I intend to do further work on.
In April 2025, I started an independent research project to catalogue the kinds of untexted passages in Ox213, with the goal of understanding text underlay and thus poetic relation to music better. You can view the table of data here. Currently I'm seeing if patterns pop up by composer, fascicle, etc.
