Note about "Chanson de Toile" (Track 14) and "Chanson d' Histoire" (Track 2)

"The Chanson de toile (also called chanson d'histoir[e]) was a genre of narrative Old French lyric poetry devised by the trouvères which flourished in the late twelfth and early thirteenth century. Some fifteen of them remain; five were written by Audefroi le Bastart, the others are anonymous. Typically, they are set to music and tell the story of a young, often married woman pining for a lover, with a happy ending" [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanson_de_toile]
