Halle: Le jeu de Robin et de Marion

Ensemble Micrologus

MIC 001.8

LE JEU DE ROBIN ET DE MARION is a masterpiece - a lively elongated pastourelle replete with popular songs, esoteric motets and polyphonic rondeaux full of longing - composed by Adam de la Halle in 1284 for the Neapolitan court of Charles of Anjou (the king who had brought to Naples a taste for French culture, art and music) - the work sums up the author's experiences both as composer and jongleur. Adam, also known as lebossu (the hunchback) or "of Arras" (his hometown), was in fact one of the few medieval composers capable of mastering both monophony and polyphony, a master trouvere and poet who tried his hand at all musical genres of the 13th century. The Italian Medieval ensemble, Micrologus, has led the way in Italy amongst early music groups - rediscovering medieval music over the last 30 years.
