ADAM (or ADAN) DE LE HALE (died c. 1288)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 171 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: A10-ADA
ADAM (or ADAN) DE LE HALE (died c. 1288) , French trouvere, was born at
Arras
 . His patronymic is generally modernized to La
Halle
 , and he was commonly, known to his contemporaries as
Adam
  d'
Arras
  or
Adam
  le Bossu, sometimes simply as Le Bossu d'Arras. His father, Henri de le
Hale
 , was a well-known citizen of Arras, and Adam studied grammar, theology and music at the Cistercian abbey of Vaucelles, near Cambrai. Father and son had their share in the civil discords in Arras, and for a short time took
refuge
  in Douai. Adam had been destined for the church, but renounced this intention, and married a certain Marie, who figures in many of his songs, rondeaux, motets and jeux-partis. Afterwards he joined the household of Robert II., count of Artois; and then was attached to Charles of Anjou, brother of Charles IX., whose fortunes he followed in Egypt, Syria, Palestine and Italy. At the court of Charles, after he became king of Naples, he wrote his Jeu de Robin et Marion, the most famous of his works. He died between 1285 and 1288. Adam's shorter pieces are accompanied by music, of which a171
transcript in modern notation, with the
original
  score, is given in Coussemaker's edition. His Jeu de Robin et Marion is cited as the earliest French play with music on a secular subject. The
pastoral
 , which tells how Marion resisted the knight, and remained faithful to Robert the shepherd, is based on an old chanson, Robin m'aime, Robin m'a. It consists of dialogue varied by refrains already current in popular song. The melodies to which these are set have, the, character of folk-music, and are more spontaneous and melodious than the more elaborate music of his songs and motets. A modern adaptation, by Julien Tiersot, was played at Arras by a company from the Paris Opera Comique on the occasion of a festival in 1896 in honour of Adam de le
Hale
 . His other play, Le jeu Adan or Le jeu de la Feuillee (c. 1262), is a satirical drama in which he introduces himself, his father and the citizens of Arras with their peculiarities. His works include a Conga, or satirical farewell to the city of Arras, and an unfinished chanson de geste in honour of Charles of Anjou, Le roi de Sicile, begun in 1282; another short piece, Le jeu du pelerin, is sometimes attributed to him.
The only MS. which contains the whole of Adam's
work
  is the La Valliere MS. (No. 25,566) in ,the Bibliotheque Nationale; Paris, dating from the latter half of the 13th century. Many of his pieces are also contained in Douce MS. 308, in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. His Euvres completes (1872) were edited by E. de Coussemaker. See also an article by Paulin Paris in the Histoire litteraire de la France (vol. xx. pp. 638-675) ; G. Raynaud, Recueil des motets francais des XIIe et XIIIe siecles (1882); Canchons et Partures des
Adan delle Hale (
Halle
 , 1900), a
critical
  edition by Rudolf Berger; an edition of Adam's two jeux in Monmerque and Michel's Theatre frangais au moyen dge (1842) ; E. Langlois, Le jeu de Robin et Marion (1896), with a translation in modern French ;. A. Guesnon, La Satire a Arras au XIIIe siecle (1900); and a full bibliography of works on the subject in No. 6 of the Bibliotheque de bibliographies critiques, by Henri Guy.
