1 gen 1275 anni - Anonymous: motet, “O mitissima / Quant voi / Virgo virginum / Hec dies” (“O most gentle / When I notice / Virgin of virgins / This is the day” )

Descrizione:

Motet = troped clausulas were eventually extracted from multiple-voiced organa and set as independent pieces
Eventually, composers extracted only the tenor line from a clausula, over which they provided new music and text → sometimes liturgical, sometimes secular (assertion of freedom)
Repeated brief tenor pattern

In three-voiced motets, composers gave duplum and triplum different texts to be sung simultaneously

---

Identified by all three of its texts (one for each voice), plus the “Hec dies” in the tenor
“Hec dies” drawn from melismatic portion (originally set as a clausula) of a popular Easter plainchant

Duplum and first triplum set to newly composed texts addressed to the Virgin Mary

A variant manuscript sources includes a secular triplum in vernacular French about the a heartsick lover, sad about a woman named Marion
