Bernart praised love above all else in his music and poetry, and his passion ran deeply through his work. Apter (English, Central Michigan U.) captures this sincerity and enthusiasm while placing it firmly in its historical context, through multiple translations and commentary throughout the text. After a lengthy introduction in which she provides historical background both of Bernart and the trobador phenomenon, she translates each song in both poetical and literal forms to allow all of the meanings of Bernart's work to shine through, and she includes musical arrangements that would satisfy even a 12th-century trobador.

4.0 out of 5 stars
a must for every-one interested in twelfth century trobadors,
By Bert Vanderzee (Leeuwarden, Friesland Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Bilingual Edition of the Love Songs of Bernart De Ventadorn in Occitan and English: Sugar and Salt (Studies in Mediaeval Literature) (Hardcover)
Here is a book, where all the songs of Bernart de Ventadorn are together including music, original texts, literary translations and free translations. The music is transcripted, and unfortunately not in orginal notation, but the quality of the transciptions is good. The litarary translations are a great help in understandig the poems. The free translations are poems based on the original. They don't realy match with the original and they are not of the same quality. Despite the last point, it is a very good book, a must-have for every-one interested in twelfth century trobador-music.
