For this exercise, I chose “A chantar m’er” by Countess of Dia. I listened to the recording on repeat for about 30 minutes, as the recording is quite short. During the first 10 minutes or so, I found it quite difficult to recognize which part of the recording I was listening to, as the piece is texturally and dynamically uniform from when the solo voice enters to the end. However, upon further listening, I began to notice more complexities in the solo voice part. For example, I noticed that the high point in the vocal line (a C during the line “Qu’a-tres-si’m-sui”) is quite prominent, and I began to appreciate the legato singing style with lines such as “no vol-ri”. Near the end of the 30 minutes, I attempted to pay closer attention to the vielle to see if I would notice any sort of recurring theme. While doing this, I realized that the piece has no discernable time signature or recurring melodies, which is something that is quite unique to renaissance era music.
