I must thank the Rough Guide for recommending this CD or troubadour songs and religious music perfectly sung by Gothic Voices. The troubadours during the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries became the first composers to compose secular music using their own language: French instead of Latin. They had a profound impact on cultural life singing about love and court matters until their influence waned during the Crusades.
Some of my personal favorites were the songs En cest, the Credo and the song by Prince "Plaisance" which is one of the most beautiful songs of the period.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in Early Music.
