Gretchen Peters reconstructs the music of everyday life in late medieval France through hundreds of newly uncovered archival records. The study explores the vibrant world of the urban minstrel, which encompassed pompous rituals of city councils, fanfares for nobility, warnings from bell-towers, and dances in bathhouses and taverns.
