Inspired by the works of medieval French troubadours, VIDA tells a story of love through medieval and newly-composed music, prose, and poetry. It recreates the magic of fireside storytelling, captivating listeners for an imagined journey.
The narrative, style of the language, poetry, and characters are influenced by medieval sources; the music is intertwined with melodies attributed to medieval troubadour songs. I’ve attempted to stay true to the intention, dramatic arc, and tone of the original Romance story as portrayed by troubadours in the Langue d’Oc tradition.
