culture, and these interrelated aspects of life created a fertile environment for musical
production. A rich manuscript tradition has facilitated numerous studies of Aquitanian
sacred music, but to date most previous research has focused on one particular facet of
the repertoire, often in isolation from its cultural context. This study seeks to view
Aquitanian musical culture through several intersecting sacred and secular concerns and
to relate the various musical traditions to the region's broader societal forces. Saint-Martial
in Limoges and Toulouse, two musical and cultural centers, illustrate the wider
cultural context in Aquitaine, and a survey of select manuscripts shows the development
of a musical tradition. An examination of three disparate pieces shows that the repertoire
as a whole is a more unified part of Aquitanian culture than previously recognized. / Committee in Charge: Dr. Lori Kruckenberg, Chair; Dr. Marc Vanscheeuwijck; Dr. Marian Smith
