Another Mirror of Lovers? - Order, structure and allusion in Machaut's motets
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 November 2001
Abstract
Machaut's first twenty motets appear, identically ordered, in a group of manuscripts copied under the composer's supervision. This order highlights connections between individual motets. Proportional relationships between six motets, and an allusion to the mid-point of Le Roman de la rose in the tenth motet, suggest that Machaut intended the motet group to be self-contained and sub-divided into two groups of ten.
