Abstract	As is still the case, music and dance were sources of pleasure in medieval Europe. At the same time, anxieties about these pleasures were abundant, and musical and gestic pleasures were the source of scorn for moral, religious, and political reasons. The papers in this panel address how and why various literary and theatrical works stage music, dance, and the conflicts over the pleasures of such things.
