What was Trobar Clus?


Well, it was the kind of symbolic poetry, also sung, which was about as hard to get without explanation as ...

Don McLean - The meaning of American Pie (UPDATE)

I was giving the like 777 on a comment saying ...

Don McLean was once asked, for the umpteenth time, "What does American Pie really mean?"
"It means I don't have to work anymore", replied Don.


... which was more of a quip than this kind of indepth answer./HGL

Some of the Music Lovers Here May Know This Already



The thing I commented about Joseph Haydn and his both children and fans owing a debt to Matthias Haydn:

Own comment
I am reminded of Joseph Haydn.

He went to the Viennese Choir boys. He was such a sweet boy soprano.

One man offered to preserve his good voice forever. He went home and told his daddy, who obviously wanted nothing of it.

Thanks Mathias Haydn, we appreciate it!

Well, seems that back in Holy Roman Empire such things were not just theoretically illegal, but could in practise be sued if daddy didn't agree!


So, if you care about Haydn's music (or even if you don't):

SAVE JAMES!
