Trouvère
''Trouvère'' (, ), sometimes spelled ''trouveur'' (, ), is the Northern French (''langue d'oïl'') form of the ''langue d'oc'' (Occitan) word ''trobador'', the precursor of the modern French word ''troubadour''. ''Trouvère'' refers to poet-composers who were roughly contemporary with and influenced by the ''trobadors'', both composing and performing lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages, but while the ''trobadors'' composed and performed in Old Occitan, the ''trouvères'' used the northern dialects of France. One of the first known ''trouvère'' was Chrétien de Troyes ( 1160s–1180s) and the ''trouvères'' continued to flourish until about 1300. Some 2130 ''trouvère'' poems have survived; of these, at least two-thirds have melodies. Etymology The etymology of the word ''troubadour'' and its cognates in other languages is disputed, but may be related to ''trobar'', "to compose, to discuss, to invent", cognative with Old French ''trover'', "to compose something in ve ...

Jehan Le Cuvelier D'Arras
Jehan le Cuvelier d'Arras (''fl''. ''c''. 1240–70) was a trouvère associated with the so-called "school of Arras". He may be the same person as Johannes Cuvellarius from Bapaume, a suburb of Arras, who is mentioned in documents of 1258. He was the respondent in nine '' jeux partis'' and judge of six; he also composed six '' chansons courtoises''. His six ''chansons'' are: * * * * * * This last one can be approximately dated, since it is dedicated to Wagon Wion, sheriff (''échevin'') of Arras in 1265 and dead by February 1273. Cuvelier's ''chansons'' are predominantly heptasyllabic, although one (''Pour la meillour'') is decasyllabic and there are pentasyllabic lines in the others. All are in bar form with the exception of ''Amours est'', which is AA'BB'CC'DE. The use of motives in the '' caudae'' is typical. Unusual for his place and time he favoured plagal modes, save for the authentic ''J'ai une dame''. In the readings of the music for ''Amours est'', ''Mout me plaisen ...

Jehan Bretel
Jehan Bretel (''c''.1210 – 1272) was a trouvère. Of his known oeuvre of probably 97 songs, 96 have survived. Judging by his contacts with other trouvères he was famous and popular. Seven works by other trouvères ( Jehan de Grieviler, Jehan Erart, Jaques le Vinier, Colart le Boutellier, and Mahieu de Gant) are dedicated to Bretel and he was for a time the "Prince" of the Puy d'Arras. Bretel held the hereditary post of sergeant at the Abbey of Saint Vaast in Arras, in which capacity he oversaw the rights of the abbacy on the river Scarpe. He is referred to as ''sergens iretavles de la riviere Saint-Vaast'' in a document of 1256. His father, Jehan, had held this same post from 1241 (at the latest) until his death in 1244. His grandfather, Jacques, was described as ''sergent héréditaire'' around the turn of the century, when there were eight such officials associated with the abbey. The trouvère and his brother were modestly wealthy property owners near Arras, where Jeha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Puy D'Arras
The Puy d'Arras, called in its own day the Puy Notre-Dame, was a medieval poetical society formed in Arras for holding contests between trouvères and ''pour maintenir amour et joie'' (for maintaining love and joy, i.e. the courtly love lyric). The term ''puy'' is Old French for "place of eminence", from Latin ''podium''. The president of the Puy, elected annually, was titled the ''Prince du Puy'', and he presided over the competitions, which were decided by panels of judges. The Puy was under the nominal patronage of the Virgin Mary, referred to as "Notre Dame du Puy d'Arras". Other ''puys'' under her patronage were founded at Amiens, Boulogne-sur-Mer, Caen, Évreux, and Rouen. The Puy is less well-documented than the contemporary Confrérie des jongleurs et bourgeois d'Arras, and the two are sometimes conflated. The statutes of the Puy d'Arras do not survive, only the later ones of the Puy d'Amiens from 1471 shed any light on the nature of laws of the ''puys''. The Puy d'Ar ...
