The texts of this project were chosen by Charles Mueller (composer) and the ensemble, with a focus on troubadour lyrics that expand or refute the standard tropes of chivalrous love by choosing poems from a feminine perspective, and by delving into the metaphysical and spiritual subsets of the genre. The unbridled sensuality of the arrangements create space for a raw experience that inspires a visceral reaction in the listener. Mueller has used pre-existing troubadour music as a melodic and modal prompt on a number of pieces, with direct quotations organically morphing as if in an inspired game of telephone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe switch with which one switches oneself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e love is like the spark (escoutatz!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e seguin + valensa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e i know a lady\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e judas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e nor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the butterfly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e (find yourself) a fine companion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e d'aurenga\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Pale Blue Dot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48092331868418,"sku":"669936779819","price":30.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/9007\/7442\/files\/4276582-3081851.jpg?v=1783382451","url":"https:\/\/soundbendrecords.co\/products\/alkemie-a-fine-companion-vinyl-lp","provider":"Sound Bend Records ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
