Excerpts:
[7] Erato 4509-91777-2 Music and Memory - Musiques et Mémoires

As with most troubadour repertory, texts do not always survive together with melodies. Where not mentioned above, both are by Ventadorn. Where given, the first composer is for the text, the second for the melody chosen to go with it in this interpretation.
