This cassette was released in connection with a book which published articles from a symposium at the University of Texas at Austin in 1987. Barbara Thornton and Benjamin Bagby appear here with accompaniment by Eric Mentzel (voice) and Patricia Ann Neely (fiddle). The recording focuses on northern and southern French vernacular poetry, but also includes a piece in Middle High German and one in Old English.
