“Nu wol uf, ritter, ez ist tac!” takes you into the fascinating world of von Wissenlo, a mysterious minstrel whose work is immortalized in the famous Manessische Lieder manuscript. Von Wissenlo, whose name goes back to the place name Wiesloch, remains a mystery in medieval poetry. No traces of life, only the passionate works of a master of anti-Minnesang, who thematizes secret and forbidden love.<\/p>\n
No sooner had the idea of high minnesong spread from France to the German courts than a countermovement arose. A particularly popular genre of this “Gegensang” was the “Tagelied”. The focus is on fulfilled but endangered love – a constellation that provides the framework for a multitude of possible punchlines and twists. The love portrayed in the songs embodies the concept of \u00eare, or reputation in courtly society, which is endangered by the threat of discovery at dawn.<\/p>\n
The songs set to music here show the watchman as a key figure who warns the lovers of the impending daylight. This dramatic situation comes to life in the dialog between the lady and the guard, while the knight surprisingly often remains in the background. The songs not only offer insights into courtly conventions, but also into the emotional world of those involved, characterized by the pain and sorrow of separation.<\/p>\n
As the original melodies have been lost, new melodies based on historical tunes were composed by Marc Lewon and Albrecht Haaf for “Nu wol uf, ritter, ez ist tac!”. These contemporary compositions bring the medieval texts to new life and enable an authentic musical performance that combines the medieval understanding of poetry with modern musical interpretation.<\/p>\n
In “Nu wol uf, ritter, ez ist tac!” you will find a mixture of carefully researched lyrics and sensitively newly composed melodies, which together create a unique musical experience. The texts are quoted from the critical edition by Carl von Kraus and offer a reliable source for study and performance. The recordings of the ensemble “Freiburger Spielleyt” enrich the experience and make it possible to enjoy these rarely heard works in their full splendor.<\/p>\n
This product is a must for every lover of medieval music and culture. The new compositions of the historical songs build a bridge that makes it possible to experience the emotional and cultural depths of medieval minnesong. Be enchanted by the authenticity and artistic expression of this unique edition and add it to your collection today. Your support not only helps to preserve the memory of a forgotten master, but also to keep the cultural heritage of medieval minnesong alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
