VMs: repetition and languages

["Guy Thibault" <guy-thibault508@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I was listening to some alte music (ARA LAUSATZ, LAUSAT, LAUSAT) and I began thinking about these repetions...

This piece was written in oc language (akin to provencal see http://www.beyond.fr/history/oc.html for details). The period match that of the vms... But further, maybe the book contains chants which might account for the weird distribution of word we see. Lots of repetitions and so on. 

Has any one tried sampling poetry (quatrain and the like) or songs before? I'll try with some work from Thomas Byrd but I have few example in other languages. Anyone knows of a text source on the Web for early music in languages other than latin?

just my two cents.

Cheers and toodle pip for now.
