abbatiale de corbie aper u


Pierre de Corbie (died after 1195) was an early trouvère from the Île-de-France. He is probably the same person as the magister Petrus de Corbeia ("master Peter of Corbie") who served as a canon at Notre Dame d'Arras between 1188 and 1195. All seven of his surviving songs are found in only a few sources; all the melodies are in bar form and several songs have been assigned different melodies by different sources:

  • Dame, ne vous doit desplaire
  • En aventure ai chante (several melodies)
  • Esbahis en lonc voiage
  • Limounier, du marriage (two melodies)
  • Par un ajournant
  • Pensis com fins amourous
  • Amis Guillaume, ainc si sage ne vi (several melodies)
  • All his songs are typical chansons courtoises save the last one above, which is a jeu-parti.
