Gab (song)
A ''gab'' or ''gap'' (, "boast") is a troubadour boasting song. It is often considered related to the ''tenso'' and ''partimen'', two types of debate poem. Sometimes the ''gab'' is not considered a separate genre of poetry but simply a boast found within another genre, commonly the ''sirventes''.〔Veronica M. Fraser (2006), ''The Songs of Peire Vidal: Translation and Commentary'' (New York: Peter Lang, ISBN 0-8204-7922-5), 153.〕
The Occitan word ''gab'' means "boast" and comes from the verb ''gabar'' (to open the mouth wide, i.e. gape).〔 The song is innately competitive and the boast is often presented as a challenge, which may generate poetical responses. The boasting, however, is made in good fun and typically follows a formula ensuring it will be well-received (unlike a real boast). Often it is heavily ironic, and the boasts are intended specifically to entertain the audience that knows better.
The first ''gab'' was "Ben vuelh", composed by William IX of Aquitaine (died 1126).〔Don A. Monson (1999), "The Troubadours at Play: Irony, Parody and Burlesque", ''The Troubadours: An Introduction'', Simon Gaunt and Sarah Kay, edd. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0-521-57473-0), 199. For text of the poem, see (here )〕 The ''sirventes'' "De mots ricos no tem Peire Vidal" by Uc de Lescura〔For text of the poem, see (here )〕 begins with a ''gab'' proclaiming the composer's superiority to eight of his contemporary troubadours, including the man of the title, Peire Vidal, who was himself a famous composer of ''gabs''. One of his works opens:
