DESCRIPTION:
The audio CD has recordings of 12 pieces from the anthology.. Using both musicological and philological expertise, the collection is a valuable resource for musical performers and students of early poetry. This anthology offers a broad, representative selection of lyric compositions by the poet-musicians of 12th- and 13th-century France: the Provencal troubadours of the south - the originators of "courtly love" - and their northern counterparts, the trouveres
