minstrel: new Efenwealt CD

[Efenwealt Wystle and Scott Vaughan]

Did you know I have new CD out? It's called "Trouvere". Most of it is 
music from around the year 1200.  Many of the tracks have lovely, 
singable translations as well as a verse or 3 in the original french or 
latin.  Instrumentation includes krumhorns,  plucked psaltery, harp, 
recorders, percussion, guitar, and voice. Vocals are by me and my 
lovely wife Aenor d'Anjou.

This disc (and all my recordings) are available at

Track list includes:

1.  Ductia - a pretty kick-ass arrangement of this medieval 
instrumental dance if I may say so myself.

2.  Cantiga de Arielle - contrafactum to the tune of one of the 
Cantigas de Santa Maria (circa 1250). I wrote it many years ago in 
honor of the late Duchess Arielle the Golden. It was her first time as 
Atlantia's Princess and she sat through an entire day of bardic 
competitions, helping to judge simply because I'd asked her to. A 
portion of the proceeds from this disc are being donated to help cover 
costs of her treatments before her recent departure from this earth.

3.  Ja Nus Hons Pris - This piece by Richard the Lionheart tells of his 
captivity in Austria on his way back from the crusades. Translation is 
by my apprentice Silence de Cherbourg

4.  Domino Fedelium - latin piece from Notre Dame circa 1200

5.  E, Dame Jolie - Spiffy new recording of this trouvere song circa 
1200, translation by me.

6.  Heloise & Abelard - Spiffy new recording of this original piece by 
me, based on the 12th century romance and calamities of Pierre Abelard

7.  Quant Je Voi Yver - a song by the trouvere Colin Muset circa 1200, 
translation by Master Olivier deBayonne

8.  Eccola Primavera - 14th century italian spring song. Pretty cool 
arrangement.

9.  Another Cantiga	- instrumental version of this 13th century piece

10.  Por Mon Cuer - a trouvere song circa 1200 translated by me.

11.  En ma Dame -  spiffy new recording of this trouvere song circa 
1200 translated by me.

12.  Nocturne for Good Friday - lyrics by Pierre Ableard (circa 1100), 
translated by Helen Waddell, set to music by me.

13.  Sic Mea Fata- a goliard piece from the Carmina Burana, sung to the 
original tune (NOT Carl Orff), translation by me.


Hope you like. It's good fodder for performing arts competitions, 
playing at demos or events, or bringing something "authentic yet 
entertaining" to a bardic circle near you.
