Sumario:This book focuses on the analysis of the late medieval chansons that use chromaticism in procreative ways. Covering the period of the trouveres through the mid-fifteenth century, Thomas Brothers examines the way in which accidentals function as an expressive tool, both at the level of local detail and at the level of overall design. The book is based on a comprehensive survey of accidentals in surviving sources for the period. From the perspective of this survey, Professor Brothers brings recent advances in analysis of late medieval music to the well-known textual problems surrounding musica ficta.
