Abstract
Portuguese literary sources abound with references to songs and dances. The genre of ‘citation poem’ included in Garcia de Resende’s poetic anthology, the Cancioneiro Geral (1516), is distinguished for citations of Spanish and other imported art songs, and songs are integral to the plays of Gil Vicente. Many of these correspond with settings in the famous Spanish Colombina and Palace Songbooks. The Portuguese tradition of ‘citation poem’ links closely with that in Spanish anthologies; it also resonates with poetic traditions at the Burgundian court. Indeed, evidence for Molinet’s influence (including a musical parallel) can be seen in the work of Resende. As explored in this paper, tracing songs in Portuguese literature provides important witness to imported cultural influences at the court, especially where actual musical sources no longer survive.
