Minnelieder
In celebration of the 75th birthday of R. Murray Schafer, the young artists of The Glenn Gould School present Minnelieder, a cycle of thirteen songs based on the poetry of the German minstrels of the eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth centuries. “Minne” is the medieval German word for “love” and the poems deal with love in all its states: impassioned, unfulfilled, bruised, unrequited, jealous, etc.
