As part of the project’s exploration of the historical contexts in which this repertoire originally resounded, researchers from the Alamire Foundation and colleagues from ESAT-STADIUS conducted fieldwork at the Monastère royal de Brou in Bourg-en-Bresse. Today, the monastery is open to the general public and functions as a museum. However, it was originally conceived as the site of a new residence commissioned by Margaret of Austria. Although she closely oversaw the construction from her palace in Mechelen, Margaret—then Governor of the Habsburg Netherlands—passed away before the complex was completed. A powerful political figure and influential patroness of the arts, Margaret of Austria possessed an extensive and distinguished library, which included several chansonniers or songbooks. Her role as a cultural tastemaker makes her a central figure in the study of courtly song, and a key subject within the project’s broader investigation. The visual and acoustic registration of Margaret's private quarters in the Monastery of Brou, in conjunction with earlier measurements taken in her former palace in Mechelen at the end of last year, will provide insight into the historical context for which courtly song was intended and into further innovative research into the implementation of audiovisual models.
