ResumoFrom the very beginnings of his scholarly career, David Fallows has carried on what can only be described as a love affair with fifteenth-century song. The first of his works to attract attention was a seminar paper on the English song Luf will [I] with variance, the winner of the Ingolf Dahl award given by the Northern and Southern California chapters of the American Musicological Society in 1977, the first year the award was given. His dissertation, Robert Morton's Songs: A Study of Styles in the Mid-Fifteenth Century (Ph.D. diss., University of California at Berkeley, 1977), set the tone for much of what was to come with a painstakingly detailed and at the same time extraordinarily musical examination of the relatively small repertory of songs by Morton, an examination that goes beyond the establishment of the texts and becomes a model of how to deal with a song repertory both in terms of its transmission history and in terms of its musical and literary styles.
