The term ‘intermediality’ is applied to texts that incorporate an independent medium, and in medieval contexts may refer to the combination of text and image or of literature and music. Experimentation in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century France led to the creation of a variety of hybrid works. Several romances (Guillaume de Dole, Roman de Perceforest, Roman du Castelain de Couci and Gerbert de Montreuil’s Roman de la Violette) incorporate songs described as sung but without melodies in the surviving copies. Others (Roman de Tristan en prose, Aucassin et Nicolete) include musical notation in at least one manuscript, while Jean de Lescurel and Guillaume de Machaut wrote first-person narratives as contexts for the inserted music. In addition, Machaut wrote explicitly about the composition of words and music. |
