In Search of Genre Boundaries of the Motet (Following the Monograph by Julie E. Cumming)
Annotation
The problem of genre attribution is extremely acute for the Du Fay motet. In J. Cumming's monograph the “method of analogies” developed in literary studies is transferred to musical soil. The analytical positions established by her are practically shown by the author of the article in the Du Fay motet in comparison with the music of other composers.
