Review

"This is a very welcome and satisfying study of the trouvere chanson."--Catherine Leglu, H-France Review


Product Description
Mary O'Neill examines the legacy of the medieval poet composers of Northern France, the trouveres.

Many of these problems are addressed here, bringing us closer to a true understanding of the repertoire.
