Trubadurska tradicija i pluralizam rane srednjovekovne balade
This paper will focus on the ballade A’lentrada del temps clar by an anonymous author from the 13th century. Despite the fact that the ballade existed as a specific literary-music genre before the 14th century, early medieval ballades are rarely analyzed in the literature. An analytical approach to the above mentioned song, proves the existence of almost all the characteristic elements of a modern ballade, as well as “advanced” musical language. In addition, this study’s findings suggest that the early medieval ballade is an extremely hybrid and multifaceted genre, embedded in the essence of the troubadours tradition.
