This collaborative project, a joint venture of the Centre d’Etudes Superieures de la Renaissance in Tours and Haverford College, brings diverse approaches to bear on a sixteenth0century repertory of sung poetry (published by the Parisian printer Nicolas Du Chemin between 1549 and 1568) that shows the changing literary tastes, musical fashions, and above all, the impact of the relatively new medium of printing on musical culture of the day.
Philippe Vendrix is directeur de Recherches with the CNRS and Dean of UFR, Centre d’Etudes Superieures de la Renaissance, Universite Francois Rabelais de Tours.
Co-sponsored by the Columbia Maison Francaise, Department of Music, and Medieval Renaissance Studies.
