What is the Glogauer Liederbuch?

“The Glogauer Liederbuch (Glogau Song Book) is a Liederhandschrift (medieval songbook) of sacred and secular songs and instrumental music, written about 1480. It is the earliest surviving set of partbooks (descant, tenor, and contratenor) and an important source of 15th century musical material. The manuscript is named after the town of Glogau (present-day Głogów) in Lower Silesia.

    Thank you for today’s post. Wind instruments always remind me of fantasy. A magical forest or enchanting land. The music was delightful! Happy Friday to you!
