Berenguier de Poizrengier

Last updated

Berenguier de Poizrengier or Peizrenger ( floruit after 1195) was a minor troubadour or jongleur, the author of one cobla esparsa , "Mal'aventura do Deus a mas mas", about some bad luck in a game of dice, and some corresponding good fortune in love. Metrically it is modelled off of "Bon'aventura do Deus als Pizans" by Peire Vidal, which can be confidentially dated to 1195. It was probably composed in Languedoc, because of a reference to cen solz de Malgoires . The cobla is preserved only in the chansonnier known as H, where the poet is named as berengiers d(e) peiz renger in the rubric.

Berenguier's place of origin, peiz renger, was identified with Puyrenier in Gascony by Camille Chabaneau and with Puisserguier in Languedoc by Oskar Schultz-Gora, which was supported by Alfred Jeanroy, since the name Berenguier is well-recorded in the family of the lords of Puisserguier.

Sardana Catalan musical genre and cultural dance

The sardana is a musical genre typical of Catalan culture and danced in circle following a set of steps.

French folk music

As Europe experienced a wave of roots revivals in the 1950s and 1960s, France found its regional culture reviving traditional music. Brittany, Limousin, Gascony, Corsica and Auvergne were among the regions that experienced a notable resurgence in the popularity of folk music. Traditional styles of music had survived most in remote areas, such as the island of Corsica and mountainous Auvergne, as well as the more nationalist lands of the Basques and Bretons.

The canso or canson or canzo was a song style used by the troubadours. It was, by far, the most common genre used, especially by early troubadours, and only in the second half of the 13th century was its dominance challenged by a growing number of poets writing coblas esparsas.

A cobla esparsa in Old Occitan is the name used for a single-stanza poem in troubadour poetry. They constitute about 15% of the troubadour output, and they are the dominant form among late authors like Bertran Carbonel and Guillem de l'Olivier. The term cobla triada is used by modern scholars to indicate a cobla taken from a longer poem and let stand on its own, but its original medieval meaning was a cobla esparsa taken from a larger collection of such poems, since coblas esparsas were usually presented in large groupings.

Berenguier de Palazol

Berenguier de Palazol, Palol, or Palou was a Catalan troubadour from Palol in the County of Roussillon. Of his total output twelve cansos survive, and a relatively high proportion—eight—with melodies.

Folquet de Lunel was a troubadour from Lunel in the Languedoc. He left behind nine recorded lyric poems, including five cansos, two partimens, and two sirventes. He also wrote one longer work, the Romans de mondana vida. Folquet's birth date can be known precisely because he tells us in his Romans, written in 1284, that he was forty years old at the time.

Bernart de Rovenac, Rovenhac, or Roenach was a Languedocian troubadour. Four of his sirventes have been preserved. The attitude ubiquitous in his poetry is perhaps best expressed by these lines: Aital guerra m'agrada mas que platz, / non tals treguas ont om si'enganatz.

Lo Bord del rei d'Arago, literally "The Bastard of the King of Aragon", is the name assigned to the composer of three coblas in an Occitan chansonnier. Lo Bord wrote two peticions and one remissio to Rostanh Berenguier de Marselha, who also wrote a fourth peticion of his own to Lo bord, but without a surviving response.

All these coblas were edited and published by Paul Meyer in Les derniers troubadours de la Provence.
