Materialities is a cultural history of song on the page. Concentrating on print in the early modern period, it approaches its topic via the French chanson, arguably the most broadly disseminated genre of polyphony in the sixteenth century. Following chansons into libraries, music rooms, and schoolrooms, author Kate van Orden charts the social distribution of songbooks, the gradual moralization of song, and the ways children learned their letters and notes, revising several common assumptions about the value early moderns attributed to printed music, the levels of literacy required to perform polyphony, and the way musicians did or did not "read" their songbooks.
