LES MENESTRIERS / IL ETAIT UNE FILLETTE ...
once upon a time there was a little girl ...
Disques du Cavalier, 1972, BP 2002
This is the second album by this band that was launched in 1969 (see my first post about them on the 31st of May 2022).
They kept the same formula for years : side A for medieval music from the 13th to the 15th century and side B for renaissance music.
This album got an award by the French record academy.
The title refers to a song by Clément Jannequin, the kind of song that was quite present in the high society of the time : a man meets a young girl and manages to take her virginity (an old topic though ...)
The album is not in perfect condition because I overplayed it on a cheap turntable in the seventies. Side B is a bit better.
