Artist Info: Cadenet

Cadenet (c. 1160 – c. 1235) was a Provençal troubadour (trobador) who lived and wrote at the court of Raymond VI of Toulouse and eventually made a reputation in Spain. Of his twenty-five surviving songs, twenty-one (or twenty-three) are cansos, with one alba, one partimen, one pastorela, and one religious piece represented. One of his melodies survives.

During his childhood Raymond V of Toulouse and Bertrand I of Forcalquier went to war over the Vaucluse. [read more...]
