    • Abstract:
      In this article the author explores the polytextual songs of the Medieval French poet and composer Guillaume de Machaut in an attempt to examine the relations between music and verbal meaning. She focuses on polyphonic songs that align several texts for simultaneous delivery to examine the potential importance of the dimension of performance. She also presents musical notations of several songs composed by Guillaume.
