L'Homme Arm: Music from the Hundred Years' War

Revision as of 14:55, 16 October 2019 by JuliaFine (talk | contribs)

Folger Consort performed L'Homme Arme: Music from the Hundreds Year War from October 27-29, 1979. Music in the fourteenth century was considered indispensable in all sorts of situations. It is not surprising, therefore, that music was an integral part of medieval warfare. This performance highlighted Parisian pieces from the first quarter of the fifteenth century which demonstrate a clear stylistic trend away from complexity for its own sake.
