Love Makes Me Sing the French Style - Concert

Enjoyed a wonderful EMSI concert given by two local performers of medieval music, Julie Ryning and Katelyn Clark. They presented many songs of courtly love from the 13th-14th century. They can be found at the Musica Fantasia label where you can listen to samples and pick up the album.
