Announcement    Note on Brexit - sales to the EU from the UK (where we are based) are likely to be adversely affected by brexit. As a result, we may be obliged to cancel and refund orders from EU countries until our stumbling government can work out how to make a trade deal work. This is not at all to our satisfaction and I hope things are fixed as quickly as possible. Please bear with us...

We are Trouvere - a duo of medieval minstrels based in North Yorkshire. We devote our time to researching, practicing and recording medieval music. We have over 50 medieval instruments in our collection and these can be heard on our various recordings. We also run the UK’s only festival of medieval music - Medieval Music in the Dales.

We produce sheet music editions of medieval music, as we have found that medieval music in modern notation is very difficult to find - especially if you do not know where to look. So far, we have produced five books of medieval music in notation with supporting commentary and, where appropriate, full lyrics and translations. These make perfect performing editions.

We have also produced a tunebook (Medieval Music in the Dales - Tunebook One) featuring twenty great medieval melodies perfect for playing on a variety of period and modern instruments - excellent for beginners.

Our next project is to produce a new CD and booklet set called "The Medieval Instrumentarium”, as a guide to the wonderful variety of instruments that were found in the medieval period. The CD will enable readers to hear the sounds and instruments being depicted in the book. We will be crowdfunding to support this project in the new year.
