Franco of Cologne - The Franconian Motet

The Franconian Motet

The Franconian Motet was named after Franco of Cologne. These motets, composed around 1250-80, differed from the earlier Notre Dame motets in that they did not use the rhythmic modes, the triplum was more subdivided, and the multiple texts could also be in multiple languages. An example of a Franconian Motet is Amours mi font/En mai/Flos filius eius.
