about

Composer: Jacob de Senleches (late 14th century)
Medieval French title: La Harpe de Melodie

This complex piece is a strict canon — that is, every note heard in the left channel gets echoed one measure later in the right channel, accompanied by a bass line that ties the whole room together. The rhythms are shockingly complicated. Senlesches may have been born in a French village of that name, though he gigged mostly in Spain — first for Eleanor of Aragon, Queen of Castile, and then for Cardinal Pedro de Luna. Pedro later became Benedict XIII, one of the “antipopes” squabbling over the papal throne. Famously, this song about a harp is notated in the form of a harp.
