Mary O'Neill examines the legacy of the medieval poet composers of Northern France, the trouvères. For many years problems and difficulties concerning the surviving melodies have prevented us from accessing these songs. Many of these problems are addressed here, bringing us closer to a true understanding of the repertoire.

History

O'Neill, Mary

Europe

Oxford University Press

A family gets ready to greet a new baby As a father helps his children get ready for school, the busy sounds of day unfold: Bus honks and bells, Dishes and shoes, Whirring of tires and Crackle of news . . . Then night falls and the sounds are different: Wind singing, Sometimes rain Slapping leaves on Windowpane . . . But this is no ordinary day – or night. Listening to the clock tick, this family is waiting for something exciting to happen – and it does, when a new baby arrives. Rich, playful paintings combine with lyrical language to tell a warm, vibrant story of family.
