What can performance tell us about medieval song?

In June 2019, I organised a workshop in Oxford on the performance of medieval song. It raised a whole host of questions for those of us present, and not necessarily the questions we expected! You can find some of my thoughts about performing medieval song on the blog of The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) here. Several performances are embedded in the blogpost. My performance of Thibaut de Blaison’s Chanter et renvoisier sueil (RS 1001) is embedded below.
