Gérard Le Vot, born in 1948, esteemed French musicologist, medieval music scholar and professor at the Lumière University of Lyon. Since the late 1970s he has devoted himself to the study of medieval poetry and music. Writer, musician and director, he has often worked alongside other important medieval musicians such as Gérard Zuchetto, René Zosso, Dominique Vellard, Anne-Marie Lablaude ...
The fact that it is a musicologist who directs a musical work makes the artistic intention much closer to historical research, preferring minimal approaches based on what has come from the sources, without catchy orchestrations.
It is interesting to note how, thanks to this approach, the melodies that are usually proposed through ensembles of many elements, are able to draw exciting atmospheres in the mind simply with a vocal line and a single musical instrument.
From the manuscripts we know that medieval musicians used to play both in small groups and alone. There are sources that attest troubadours who preferred to accompany their singing alone with their own instrument, an example is Sordel.
However, this kind of intimate approach is not often used in most of the interpretations of medieval music, but here it is predominant and you may get the impression of being able to listen closely to the troubadour or trouvère singing his verses to us, accompanying himself with the instrument or accompanied by a jester, a musician who usually followed him in the various courts.
A brief introduction to the troubadours and trouvère.
Around the year 1000 in Occitania, a territory that included Spain, the south of France and the north west of Italy, the poetry of the troubadours was born.
Reading their biographies (vidas) contained in the fundamental source of Uc de Saint Circ, we discover many details about their lives: they were kings, princes, poets, musicians, knights, merchants, religious, drunkards ... in short, they were not a defined class and they could be of noble or humble origins.
The same happened for women, trobairitz, including countesses, courtesans, ex prostitutes, nuns ... When these artists came from poor social classes, the only way to be able to make a living from their art was to be noticed by a protectress or a lord who could protect and support them. Among the troubadours of humble origins we find some of the best known names for example Marcabru, Raimbaut de Vaqueiras and Bernart de Ventardorn.
The trouvères, equivalent to the troubadours but from the northern France, arrived about one hundred / one hundred and fifty years later.
Even "schools" of minstrels and poetry began to be born, but even with some variations, the treated themes did not differ much from those of the troubadours. The trouvères sing and write in Langue d'Oïl, not in Latin or in Langue d'Oc like the troubadours.
Among the most important names I want to mention: Adam de la Halle, Blondel de Nesle, Thibaut IV de Champagne and Richard Cœur de Lion and my favorite: Colin Muset, who through his poems offers us a vision of the life of the jester of humble origins, forced to pass from one protector to another, living in hardship but never wanting to abandon music nor the only lord who says he serves without ever committing a fault, that is Love.

I find myself once again unable to turn my attention to any of the projects and plans of this afternoon in Montpellier, France; instead, I sit transfixed, following the titles, the song texts as well as I can, the scrolling beauty of the Roman de la Rose. These marvellous renderings of ancient music capture my heart again and again. Plan mercé, soi encantat, me sentissi tornar dins lo sègle XII...

I quite agree. Your channel is an educational resource, as well as a source of pleasant and stimulating music. I always enjoyed Renaissance-styled music when I encountered it in movies and TV shows about the Tudors and their era, so I went looking for Renaissance music on CD and online. Now you have expanded my tastes to even earlier times, and realms beyond Europe, for which I am grateful.
