The Spirits of England & France Vol.2

This series explores the riches of French and English Music from 1150 to 1450. The music for this recording features the songs of the trouveres. This repertoire is so large that a hundred recitals such as this would not encompass them. The songs describe things such as love-complaints, tales of erotic adventures in the countryside, debates in verse about matters of love, political lyrics, spinning songs, prayers to the Virgin and calls to join a crusade.
