This podlecture gives an introduction to my method of analysing 14thC counterpoint and, in passing, gives some detail on the forms of the rondeau.

Podlecture 4 is about notation.
Podlecture 3 is about Machaut as a multimedia artist.
This is the second podlecture and notes for my Machaut Course for Prelims Special Topics at Oxford.
This page hosts the audio for the first of six Machaut ‘podlectures’ for Prelims (1st year exams) at Oxford, originally delivered in this form in 2020/2021 because of restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, but of ongoing relevance to later iterations of this course. It also gives links to some further reading and things mentioned in the audio. Listening to the audio and following the tasks it mentions should take at least an hour for each podlecture.
Long-gestating co-editing project finally published as part of 700-page book.

This clerihew didn’t make it into my review of this new volume of essays on Adam de la Halle:
My article treating a ‘boring’ song by Blondel de Nesle has just been published by Early Music.
My article on a two-stanza pastourelle in Douce 308 has just appeared in Plainsong and Medieval Music. Here with added sound files!
