A Collection of Medieval Songs: Eight authentic 12th-16th century melodies arranged for the piano (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578923321)

This collection of Medieval and Early Renaissance songs is only a tiny sampling of the wide variety of musical styles enjoyed in Western Europe between 1100 and 1600 AD. There were love ballads, epic war carols, fast-paced dances, religious chants and more! All of the songs in this collection have been faithfully adapted from original manuscript sources and arranged to play as late-intermediate level piano solos. Each song comes with information about the composer, related music theory, mode, original lyrics and English translations. Expand your medieval music repertoire beyond "Greensleeves" with selected works by Hildegard von Bingen, Alfonso X el Sabio, Walther von der Vogelweide, Guillaume de Machaut, Francesco Landini, William Cornysh and John Dowland.
