Troubadour Melodies Discography
Troubadour Melodies Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber This discography of troubadour songs is based on Hendrik van der Werf’s edition, The Extant Troubadour Melodies (Rochester NY, 1984), which is arranged alphabetically by composer. It is newly compiled for this series, formatted to match the Du Fay and Josquin des Prez discographies on this website. Recorded titles are in bold; each composer’s name is in bold on its first occurrence. Titles that do not match the Van der Werf edition, many of them contrafacta, are omitted, except for A l’entrada del tens clar (at the end), by way of exception. The excellent work of Pierre Roberge and Todd McComb in www.medieval.org/emfaq has furnished numerous additional entries (generally, those that lack timings and verses). Michael Gray’s website, classical-discography.org, provided details of some entries. Elizabeth Aubrey, the author of The Music of the Troubadours (Indiana University Press, 1996, pb 2000) responded to questions about verses of some recordings, pointing out the discrepancy between various manuscripts and editions in the order of verses and, in general, the problems of spelling, The works and their composers are listed by the page number in the Van der Werf edition and followed by the numbers of Alfred Pillet and Henry Carstens, Bibliographie der Troubadours (Halle, 1933, not available to the compiler). The recordings are arranged chronologically, citing conductor, ensemble, date of recording if known, timing if available, and the verses included if known. Following is the issued format (78, 45, LP, 45LP, MC, CD, SACD), the label, the issue number(s), and album title.
