Trebor (composer)

Trebor (composer)

Trebor was a 14th-century composer of polyphonic chansons, active in Navarre and other southwest European courts circa 1380-1400. He may be the same human being also called Triboll, Trebol, and Borlet in other contemporaneous sources. His name is likely a palindrome of Robert.

His compositions are associated with the style known as "ars subtilior", and six of his works survive in one of the most important surviving manuscripts of "ars subtilior" music, the Chantilly Codex. Some of his pieces explicitly reference historical events such as the Aragonese conquest of Sardinia in 1388-89 and the reign of Gaston Febus, the count of Foix. His music was well known to Avignonese composers of the time, such as Grimace and Franciscus Andrieu, who quoted some of his pieces in their works. He is noted for his use of displacement syncopation and sustained chords, the former of which is one of the hallmark devices of late 14th-century French musical style.

The compositions attributed to Trebor, most of them in the Chantilly Codex, are:
*"En seumeillant m’avint une vision"
*"Se July Cesar, Rolant et roy Artus"
*Audio|TREBOR Se Alixandre et Hector fussent en vie.mid|"Se Alixandre et Hector fussent en vie"
*"Quant joyne cuer en may est amoureux"
*"He, tres doulz roussignol joly"
*"Passerose de beaute"
*"Helas! pitie envers moy dort si fort"
