Product Description

This twelfth installment in the Collection Musical Heritage of the Jews of France is dedicated to the religious and festival songs of the Jewish communities living in Northern France in the second half of the 13th century. During this troubled time, spanning the burning of the Talmud through the great expulsion of 1306, Jews shared much of their daily life and language with the

Christians, as well as a common taste in literature, monuments, the sounds of cities and fairs, their joie-de-vivre, and popular music.
