DESCRIPTION:This paper\, which is work-in-progress\, considers the 63 mote
 ts collected in Oxford Bodleian Library\, Douce 308. Most have\nrefrains\,
  often split between the opening and closing lines of the motet text\, and
  all are presented without musical notation or\nany indication of tenors. 
 Where concordances exist\, the texts of D308 are invariably in motetus par
 ts\, but the concordances also\nmake Douce 308 a unique witness to a mixtu
 re of material from the mainstream polyphonic motet tradition and the othe
 rwise\nunique monophonic 'motets entés' of Trouvère MS N. This paper wil
 l propose that more motets known today only in polyphonic\nversion may hav
 e had origins as monophonic motets. It will consider what the lost monopho
 nic motet repertoire might have\nlooked like and ask how the motet reperto
 ry might have come to be so largely polyphonic given this possible origin 
 in\nmonophonic\, refrain-related\, material.\nSpeakers:\nElizabeth Eva Lea
