Of the lyrical elements observable in the York Weavers' play, “The Appearance of Our Lady to Thomas,” the most obvious surely are the words and notation of three songs to be rendered in its course, and, in addition, what seem to be alternate and more elaborate settings of these songs copied on the page immediately following play XLVI in the manuscript . I should like here to discuss the significance of these songs, and, by observing the general features of English polyphony in the early fifteenth century, to see the unfortunately neglected little compositions in their proper historical and musicological perspective. jQuery.click { event.preventDefault(); }) [Book Review]
