Solage - Helas! je voy mon cuer

Helas! je voy mon cuer
by Solage

performed by Gothic Voices

Virtually nothing is known about Solage beyond what can be inferred from his music, surviving only in ten, possibly twelve, pieces from the Chantilly Codex. From dedications and various references in the text, it seems he was associated with the French court and lived until at least 1403. Beyond that, his surviving works share many features typical of music from the 1380s and 1390s. Including the two works attributed to him on stylistic grounds, Solage's entire extant oeuvre amounts to nine ballades, two virelais, and a single rondeau.

This recording is from the Gothic Voices album, "Unknown Lover: Songs by Solage and Machaut", which contains all twelve of Solage's extant works.

yes! more Solage! In my opinion he was the most inspired composer of hes era. I´m not saying he was "better" than Ciconia and others but his music has a mystery inside, I don´t know why.
