Abstract

The fourteenth-century Paris, BibliothÃ¨que nationale fr. 12483 (known as âRosariusâ) is a wide-ranging Marian miscellany with a small, significant collection of female-voiced, Old French devotional songs. The repertory negotiates aspects of gender and materiality, as this essay demonstrates through an interpretation of Amis, amis (My love, my love), an anonymous chanson pieuse that survives as a monophonic unicum in this collection. Rich in Marian implications, Amis, amis fore-fronts a womanâs voice and engages in expressions of female desire, blending erotic longing with a mystical striving for the divine. This essay elucidates some of the material, conceptual, and musical complexities in Amis, amis, with a focus on gender, materiality, and interrelated aspects of embodiment. Since Rosarius survives today in fragmentary and damaged condition, Amis, amis comes from a complex, incomplete physical source; it thus demands a consideration of what is materially absent. Further, this discussion highlights embodiment by examining concepts of voice and body as rendered by the songâs female narrator. Finally, because the embodied song was realized beyond its original setting into contemporary renderings, such as being inscribed, recorded, transmitted, or performed, the song itself offers another site of corporal embodiment, with a textual, sonic, and material identity.
