Excerpt from Les Plus Anciens Monuments de la Musique Fran???aise En effet, quand la po???sie vulgaire atteignit ??? la hauteur d'une conception lyrique, les musiciens, qui ???taient sans doute aussi les po???tes, durent concevoir quelque embarras. Ils n'avaient ??? leur disposition qu'une technique musicale, parfaite en soi, mais inapte au r???le nouveau qu'on lui demandait de remplir, cest a dire d'uair un chant aux paroles en langue vulgaire. Cette technique musicale ???tait, nous le savons, celle du malus firmus, la vieille th???orie du chant eccl???siastique. Ses principes rythmiques ???taient n???s d'une langue, le latin, o??? l'accent tonique jouait le principal r???le et marquait le rythme po???tique et le rythme musical en m???me temps. Or, la langue fran???aise avait conserv??? l'accent a un degr??? infiniment moindre, insuffisant m???me pour constituer un rythme, ou po???tique ou musical. Les compositeurs furent donc tr???s d???pourvus et nous avons la trace de leurs h???sitations dans les premi???res planches de notre recueil.
