Title: French Medieval or Renaissance Music
Post by: BattalGazi on December 16, 2013, 04:01:53 pm
Dear Community,

I was in Strasbourg this weekend for the Christmas market and came across this nice street musicians playing some old fashioned instruments and singing probably old fashioned music (French) as well. I really liked it however I have no idea what they were singing. I have some hints though:

- They were French, singing in French :) 
- Pretty much old clothing, looked like medieval stuff, maybe later. It's old
- One of them was playing something like this:

- They were four basically, one with this constantly winding instrument up above, two others were playing some versions of guitars ( with around 12 strings possibly? ) and the other was playing a simple drum. No air instruments.

I thought you might know what they were playing/singing, or at least come up with some suggestions. Possible songs?

Cheers.

Yes I think both are correct. Do you know of a typical music they could be playing?
