This study\u0000 examines Planctus 6 considering the link between Abelard’s language\u0000 and the expression of specific emotions and, wherever possible, examines\u0000 how music serves to intensify that expression.","PeriodicalId":403884,"journal":{"name":"The Intellectual Dynamism of the High Middle Ages","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134215013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
