    Default Maienzeit bannet Leid (Neidhart von Reuental, c. 1220)

    We don't often post about the "medieval" part of this forum's title.

    Neidhart von Reuental (c. 1190 - c. 1237) was one of the most famous German minnesingers (troubadours), and the one who left the largest number of melodies behind. This one is his best-known one, a lively dance tune originally with Middle High German words, although I'm playing it as an instrumental. The title translates as "Maytime banishes sorrow". Source:

    As always with medieval music, accompaniment is largely a matter of speculation and personal preference. I am playing arpeggios in fifths (no thirds) for that mock-medieval feel.

    Nice! Thanks for sharing this. I haven't explored medieval music yet, still working on Bickford! Will start looking for earlier music to play.
