Greetings all -- I hate for my first post to be a desperate plea for help, but unfortunately that's just what it is. I'm a graduate student, struggling to find a topic for a medieval music class. We've barely covered anything as of yet -- so I'm kind of running into trouble when it comes to figuring out a good thesis for a paper that's due at the end of the semester. I was hoping to focus on some kind of question dealing with troubadors and trouveres, but haven't figured out anything substantial as of yet.
I had a WONDERFUL topic picked out about some Irish monk liturgical fragments found in Vienna -- sadly I met a dead end when it came to actually locating said fragments. Rather than spend the entire semester searching for something that might not pan out -- I figured I'd make a little post here and ask if anyone could point me in a good direction.
I'm not looking for a paper that's already written, just a good idea for a question that I can thoroughly address. Normally I have no problem coming up with a paper topic, but medieval music is most definitely my weak spot!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
