Gaucelm Faidit

Numerous poems have already been related to this French troubador who’s considered to have wandered for an interval of twenty years without the acknowledgement. He found work beneath the security of Boniface who led and passed away in the 4th Crusade. Faidit was referred to as a rude glutton who was simply invovled in several intrigues and playing affairs. The 68 poems ascribed to him consist of 14 with music. Among his music certainly are a “planh” among which was focused on Richard the Lionheart upon his loss of life. “Fortz causa” is among the few extant planhs with phrases and music; appropriately, it really is a valued composition inside the Western european musical legacy.
