Snow 2007: "A reasonable exposition and defense of the presence of popular musical elements and style in art songs of court composers. Most of the chapter deals with the CSM and emphasizes the folkloric content, popular melodies, attempts at jongleuresque diffusion, and cites a few examples, by way of illustration, of popular style from CSM 193 and 139 (this latter with a musical transcription). While there is no detail or scholarly apparatus, it is also balanced and contains no imnprobable claims." |
