You will learn about repertoire from such diverse locations as Iceland, Spain, and Italy, and encounter examples of musicianship from the gender-fluid professional musicians at the Islamicate courts of Syria to the nuns of Barking Abbey in England.  The book shows that women drove musical patronage, dissemination, composition, and performance, including within secular and ecclesiastical contexts, and also reflects on the reception of medieval women’s musical agency by both medieval poets and by modern recording artists.  Contributors are David Catalunya, Lisa Colton, Helen Dell, Annemari Ferreira, Rachel Golden, Gillian L. Gower, Anna Kathryn Grau, Carissa M. Harris, Louise McInnes, Lisa Nielson, Lauren Purcell-Joiner, Megan Quinlan, Leah Stuttard, Claire Taylor Jones, Melissa Tu, Angelica Vomera, and Anne Bagnall Yardley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures, Tables and Music Examples  Notes on Contributors    Introduction: Female Authorship, Female Voice, and Female-Voice Song   Anna Kathryn Grau and Lisa Colton    PART 1: Ritual Discourse    1 The Feminine Voice in the Early Islamicate Courts (661–1000)   Lisa Nielson  2 Music, Liturgy, and the Discursive Construction of Gender in a Thirteenth-Century Double Monastery   Lauren Purcell-Joiner  3 A Female-Voice Ceremonial from Medieval Castile   David Catalunya  4 Religious Reform and Liturgical Change in the Fifteenth Century: Chant as Women’s Protest Music   Claire Taylor Jones    PART 2: Materiality    5 Beyond this Mist: Uncovering Material Multiplicities in Amis, amis   Rachel May Golden  6 Transmission of Female-Voice Motets in Late Thirteenth-Century Manuscripts   Anna Kathryn Grau  7 Chants for the Holy Trinity of Barking Abbey: Ethelburg, Hildelith, and Wulfhild   Anne Bagnall Yardley    PART 3: Subjectivity and Emotion    8 Handmade Women: The Manufacture of Femininity in the Chansons de femme   Helen Dell  9 The Voice of Emotion: Constructing an Identity for the Comtessa de Dia in Performance   Leah Stuttard  10 “Going all the Way with Marot”: Empowerment in the Pastourelle Motet L’autrier m’esbatoie\/Demenant grant joie\/MANERE   Lisa Colton  11 Sexuality, Pedagogy, and Women’s Emotions in Middle English Songs   Carissa M.
