Abstract

Philip the Chancellor(c.1160-70 - 1236), who has been recorded in history as an important figure at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, has been known as a person who played an important role in the spread of the Latin lyric poetry repertoire in the 13th century. Many of his extant poems were often used as lyrics for the Notre Dame School, who was a famous composer at the time, and his ability to set poetry to music makes it clear why his work was favoured by composers of the time. However, despite his contribution, his work has not been published in complete works or actively studied. This study examines Philip's musical works based on the major music manuscripts of the 13th century, which are the sources of his works, and discusses how his music influenced the genesis of the motet, which emerged as the dominant genre of the 13th century. In doing so, it establishes Philip's place in the history of medieval music alongside Leonin and Pérotin, the leading figures of the Notre Dame school of his day.
