For explanation of the content and abbreviation, see general explanation. This is a relatively complete discography of Arnaut de Mareuil.

Literary and Musicological notes.
According to:

  1. Gérard Zuchetto in Terre des Troubadours (Les Éditions de Paris, 1996), gave us 26 poems (cansos et salutz d'amor), only six cansos have notation with melodies;
  2. Gérard Zuchetto & Jörn Gruber in Le Livre d'or des Troubadours (Les Éditions de Paris, 1998), Arnaut de Mareuil wrote 26;
  3. ... and The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (on-line edition) states " ...Of the 26 chansons attributed to him, six survives with music; 13 more works are ascribed to him in various sources, but are not likely to be his. In addition, he wrote both saluts d'amours (poetic love-letters), five of which survive, and an ensenhamen, a didactic, moralizing poem ...

The list of poetic pieces is from The New Grove for t/m. For others a complete listing will appear in a future update

After the title, (t) means text only, (t/m) text and melody; then follows in brackets the Pillet-Carstens sequential number (10.xxx) when such number exists. After the date of recording, a similar system of abbreviation appears: (t), (t/m), but also (t/-) text with another melody from the same or another composer, (-/m) melody with another text by the same or another writer, (t/?) and (?/m) when a writer or a composer cannot be identified.
