Abstract

During the Middle Ages music and oral narrative came together in a forceful conjunction where they jointly produced sets of emotional effects. Music also served dramatic purposes in theatre, particularly to evoke the sacred in plays based on liturgical drama, or else to conjure other times and places such as the Forest of Arden in Shakespeare’s As You Like It, based on the medieval Robin Hood forest. It is in the popular ballad tradition that the link of narrative and melody continues beyond the Middle Ages, until the 19th century milieu, coinciding with the hegemony of the novel, when they tend to come apart. Music and text, along with the visual, definitely meet again in the age of cinema, however the music in films of medieval subjects hardly relates to actual medieval music, save for the nostalgia of a time lost in the mythic past
