Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the integral relationship between musical terms and the dates of composition in the Woodkirk Shepherd Plays. The author argues that the evolution of music theory from the Middle Ages through the fifteenth century, particularly as it pertains to polyphony, can be traced in the texts of the plays. The author observes that the earlier plays mention or describe music in a straightforward manner, with minimal use of technical terminology. However, the second or revised play demonstrates a significant increase in the use of technical terms, particularly related to the addition of new musical parts and the development of specific rhythmic patterns. The author argues that this increase in technical terminology suggests that the revised play was written at a later date, perhaps around the period when these innovations in musical theory were being systematized by theorists like Jean de Muris and John of Dunstable. This study contributes to a greater understanding of the development of music theory in the late Middle Ages, and also sheds light on the composition and revision dates of these important plays.
