Adam de la Halle (1240 - 1287) was the most famous of the trouveres -- troubadours who spread the
Occitan lyrical tradition to the various dialects of northern France. His writings were notable
for spanning an unusually broad set of genres for a lyrical poet. In addition to his songs
(chansons), Adam wrote polyphonic music, such as motets, and became one of the first
composers on record to experiment with more complex sets of poetic forms: ballades,
rondeaux, and virelais, which start to become more prominent in French music during
the coming decades. His most famous piece, Le jeu de Robin et Marion ("Robin and Marion, A
Play with Music"), is a long-form play based around a secular love story, with featherweight,
dancing melodies that may have invoked folk music traditions of the day. The play differs greatly
from the theme of fin' amors, however; instead, it is an extension of the
pastourelle form of poetry, in which the love in question is not unattainable, but is
extant and threatened by an outside force, a rogue knight who wishes to kidnap the female love
interest.
