La chanson spirituelle au temps de la Réforme (1533-1591)
The spiritual song in the time of the Reformation

Summary/Abstract: This article aims at drawing the history of spiritual songs of the Reformation from the first works by Mathieu Malingre (1533) to L’Uranie attributed to Odet de La Noue (1591), including: Chansons spirituelles (1548) by Guillaume Guéroult, as well as his Chansonnier huguenot (1555) and its reissues. By examining firs of all devotional and exhortative songs, it shows how little by little this spiritual poetry gives up its formal and musical ambitions to serve, in a militant way, the Reformation ideas and beliefs.
