Musica da Camera's Continuum

Continuum: Songs Of Myself

By Milton G. Scheuermann Jr.
Published December 3, 2023 at 3:25 AM CST

This week Continuum airs a program from 2011 devoted to the autobiographical songs of the German minnesingers. Probably the most famous of all the minnesingers was Oswald von Wolkenstein, who spanned the time between the end of the 14th century into the 15th century and wrote a number of these songs about himself.
