Blacasset

Blacasset

Blacasset, Blacassetz, Blacssetz, or Blachessetz (fl. 1233–1242Aubrey, 23.] ) was a Provençal troubadour of the noble family of the Blacas, lords of Aulps, in medieval France. He was probably a son of the troubadour Blacatz, as his "vida" alleges, though this has come into doubt.Egan, 23.] He was also distantly related to Charles I of Naples and Raymond Berengar IV of Provence. According to his "vida", he was like his father in merit, good deeds, and munificence, and also reputed to be a good lover.

"Blacasset" is a diminutive of his father's name ( _la. Blacacius). A document of 1238 (two years after his father's death) mentions three sons of the elder Blacatz, two of which were named Blacacius. Blacasset was not a professional troubadour, but, like his father, an amateur. Eleven of his works survive, three "sirventes", four "cansos", and four "coblas", including one single-stanza "canso" with a melody in F major, "Ben volgra quem venques merces". This song was appended to a manuscript of the "chansonnier du roi" of Theobald I of Navarre in the early fourteenth-century. [Aubrey, 232. This is known as troubadour manuscript W or trouvère manuscript M.] Among his other works are:
*"A Lunel lutz una luna luzens", a "tenso" with Guilhem de Montanhagol in the "trobar clus" style about a lady, Guiza (Gauzeranda) de Lunel
*"Lo bels douz temps mi platz", a "sirventes" he wrote for the "conte de Proensa" (count of Provence)Bertoni, 128. Found in the chansonnier of Bernart Amoros.]
*"De guerra fi desiros"
*"Mos voler es quez eu m' eslanz"
