Recent Researches in the Music of the RenaissanceThe Combinative Chanson: An AnthologyEdited by Maria Rika Maniates
The combinative chanson, a genre popular in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, features witty, symbolic interplay among several disparate texts and melodies (some of which are preexistent) and exhibits a variety of ingenious solutions to their combination in one integrated composition. This anthology draws from the major sources of such pieces--the Escorial, the Pixérécourt, and the Dijon chansonnieres. ". . . Maniates' anthology is an important contribution, whose relevance extends well beyond the repertory it has made available." Rob C. Wegman, Music & Letters, August 1991.
