When I listen some troubadour music I don't feel like I listen classical music, I feel like I listen very very very old pop music.

i love your channel.

[@retiredmusiceducator3612]

why were they not very famous Dominic

[@ClassicalNerd]

Interesting question! Even though their culture and time was quite sexist, that's not really what keeps them from fame; very few middle-ages composers are performed today at all, regardless of gender. Add onto that the fact that there's only one surviving piece, and you get quite an obscure corner of music history!
