Abstract
This article offers a model for the creation and circulation of musical compositions before the time they began to be treated as marketable goods (c.1470-1500). The model is that of the gift economy. The ramifications of the practice of musical gift exchange in the late Middle Ages are far-reaching, extending to issues of musical aesthetics and sociology.
