(Peace in the name of the Lord! Marcabru has proclaimed the words of this
song. Hear what I say : The Lord of Heaven has done to us a kindness in that he
has placed a purifying place, never was there one like it away beyond the sea, and
yonder near the valley of Josaphat. With this I console you here.)
In the following song by Gace Brale (twelfth century) the rising
fifth a common formula also shows unmistakably the influence
of Gregorian chant:
