Gui d’Ussel

Along with his two brothers, Eble and Peire and their cousin Elias, Gui was a troubadour and seigneur in Ussel-sur-Sarzonne. Gui was the author of tracks while Elias constructed tensos and Eble “mula tensos”. Peire descanted every one of the compositions. Their music has been monophonic generally as there is no mention of polyphony. None from the melodies of their compositions possess survived apart from Gui’s: cahnsons, pastrourelles, tensos, coblas. Four chansons had been through-composed and two from the chansons do it again among the lines of music. The poetic designs weren’t metrically balanced; nevertheless, the melodis had been quite simple.
