About this concert

Galanterie: an invention of the Enlightenment? Courtliness in music goes back centuries! ClubMediéval explores the dos and don'ts of courtly love as recorded in the Gruuthuse manuscript: an audio record of middle-class life in Bruges around 1400. Crude peasant farces clash with refined love lyrics, and farewell songs almost guaranteed to create goosebumps.
