French Motets in the Thirteenth Century
This is the first full-length study of the vernacular motet in thirteenth-century France. The motet was the most prestigious type of music of that period, filling a gap between the music of the so-called Notre-Dame School and the Ars Nova of the early fourteenth century. This book takes the music and the poetry of the motet as its starting-point and attempts to come to grips with the ways in which musicians and poets treated pre-existing material, creating new artefacts. The book reviews the processes of texting and retexting, and the procedures for imparting structure to the works; it considers the way we conceive genre in the thirteenth-century motet, and supplements these with principles derived from twentieth-century genre theory. The motet is viewed as the interaction of literary and musical modes whose relationships give meaning to individual musical compositions.

An exploration of Bach's motets in the context of the German motet tradition.
The Motet in the Late Middle Ages
A wide-ranging, single-authored overview of late-medieval motets by a leading scholar, The Motet in the Late Middle Ages offers innovative approaches to the equal partnership of music and texts in motets of the fourteenth century and beyond. With new analyses of text and music together, new datings, new attributions, and new hypotheses about origins and interrelationships, author Margaret Bent uncovers little-explored dimensions, provides a window into the craft and thought processes of medieval composers, and opens up many directions for future work.

Mapping the Motet in the Post-Tridentine Era
Mapping the Motet in the Post-Tridentine Era provides new dimensions to the discussion of the immense corpus of polyphonic motets produced and performed in the decades following the end of the Council of Trent in 1563. Beyond the genre’s rich connections with contemporary spiritual life and religious experience, the motet is understood here as having a multifaceted life in transmission, performance and reception. By analysing the repertoire itself, but also by studying its material life in books and accounts, in physical places and concrete sonic environments, and by investigating the ways in which the motet was listened to and talked about by contemporaries, the eleven chapters in this bo...
Allegorical Play in the Old French Motet
This book focuses on the literary artistry of the texts of Old French and bilingual motets, notably the special feature of motets that distinguished them from other medieval lyric forms: the phenomenon of polytextuality.
Motets and Prosulas
Further details at: https://www.areditions.com/rr/rrm/m041.html Abstract: This volume is the first collection of medieval music devoted specifically to texts authored by Philip the Chancellor (d. 1236), a renowned lyric poet associated with the cathedral of Notre Dame Paris during the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. It presents the texts and music of all the motets and prosulas (words added to preexistent music from organa and polyphonic conductus caudae) ascribed to Philip in medieval sources, as well as a substantial number of works attributed to him by modern scholars. Many of the musical settings in this collection are credited to the composer Perotinus and are among the earliest efforts in these genres, suggesting that not only were Philip and Perotinus the sole artists now known to have cultivated the motet during its formative years, but that they may have played a seminal role in bringing the genre to light.
Complete Latin Motets, Part 1
This complete edition of Gallus Dressler's Latin motets includes a modern transcription of eighty-three of the composer's works. In addition, it features a substantial introduction, based on the most recent research into Dressler's life and music. A detailed critical report shows relationship between the three major editions of Dressler's motets, dating from 1574, 1577 and 1585, and their derivation from Dressler's XC Cantiones Quatuor, Quinque et Plurimum Vocum (1570), as well as several other earlier publications and one manuscript source. The presentation of the Latin texts and their translation into English, plus the identification of the varied sources of the texts and their significance, forms a new contribution to research on Dressler that moves well beyond the partial identification of some of the composer's text sources in previous studies of the composer and his works. This volume includes thirty-eight motets for five voices and two motets for six voices.
