Jean 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 Jehan died i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Rubric
A rubric is a word or section of text that is traditionally written or printed in red ink for emphasis. The word derives from the la, rubrica, meaning red ochre or red chalk, and originates in Medieval illuminated manuscripts from the 13th century or earlier. In these, red letters were used to highlight initial capitals (particularly of psalms), section headings and names of religious significance, a practice known as rubrication, which was a separate stage in the production of a manuscript. Rubric can also mean the red ink or paint used to make rubrics, or the pigment used to make it. Although red was most often used, other colours came into use from the late Middle Ages onwards, and the word rubric was used for these also. Medievalists can use patterns of rubrication to help identify textual traditions. Various figurative senses of the word have been extended from its original meaning. Usually these senses are used within the set phrase "under hateverrubric", for example, "u ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Perrin D'Angicourt
Perrin d'Angicourt (''floruit'' 1245–70) was a trouvère associated with the group of poets active in and around Arras. His birthplace was most likely Achicourt, just south of Arras. His surviving oeuvre is large by the standards of the trouvères, and well-distributed in the chansonniers: thirty-five (35) of his songs survive, in some case in as many as eleven different manuscripts. Two, or perhaps three, of Perrin's songs—"J'ai un joli souvenir", "Quant partis sui" and perhaps "Quant li cincenis s'escrie"—are described in their chansonniers as "crowned songs" (''chansons couronnées''), indicating that they had won poetry competitions, probably under the aegis of the ''puy d'Arras''. Twice Perrin composed '' jeux partis''—"Perrin d'Angicourt, respondés" and "Prince del pui"—with Jehan Bretel, also from Arras, and he is referenced in other ''jeux partis'' by Bretel, Gaidifer d'Avion, Lambert Ferri, Jehan de Grieviler and a certain Audefroi (perhaps the banker Audefroi ...

Gaidifer D'Avion
Gaidifer (Gadifer) d'Avion ( fl. 1230–50) was an Artesian trouvère from Avion. He entered the Church and was associated with the poets of the so-called "School of Arras". Gaidifer was well-connected to contemporary poets. He was a respondent to Jehan Bretel in two '' jeux partis'' judged by the trouvères Perrin d'Angicourt and Jehan le Cuvelier d'Arras and the banker Audefroi Louchart. Gaidifer was a judge of Jehan de Grieviler and Robert de Castel in two other ''jeux partis''. Besides his two ''jeux'', Gaidifer wrote seven '' chanson courtoises'', six of which appear only in the Rome Chansonnier. His style is described as "sharply circumscribed": all his poems are isometric and octo- or decasyllabic. All his simple melodies are in bar form, but spanning wide ranges (often an octave or higher). In ''Tant ai d'amours'', which served as a model for Lambert Ferri (''J'ai tant d'amours apris et entendu'') and Adam de la Bassée (''Ave rosa rubens et tenera''), there is repe ...

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 ...
