PROFANE MUSIC MIDDLE AGES

the topic of my songs is courtly love

monophonic songs were played by a soloist

the language of the songs is vernacular

We belong to the aristocratic classes

We wrote songs in the vernacular languages of each area

 We were cultured and refined people

Professional musicians that travelled from town to town

We entertanined people in castles and villages

We were just performers, playing songs taken from other composers.

We were a conjuror or a juggler. 

We recited or sang verses and performed

I am from Germany

We are performers who amused his lord with our musical instruments.

We were clerical students and vagabonds. 

We wrote and performed monophonic songs written in Latin

Our songs showed satirical criticisms of society and the church. 

Some of our songs are compiled in a song book called Carmina Burana.

There no evidence of the existence of our songs or dances
