"Palestine Song", a rare song by Walther von der Vogelweide (13th century) to have been found with music. It is a religious propaganda song for the crusades, commissioned by Emperor Friedrich II. The number of original stanzas is disputed, there are about 13, but 7 are thought to be by the author. The melody is said to be a counterfeit (borrowing) of a melody by a French trouvère, but this is also not so obvious.
I only interpret 4 stanzas, in the manner of a story told, to distance myself from the content. But the beauty of the melody has made it famous throughout the centuries!
This song is known to be present in the repertoire of many musicians, like In extremo, Estampie, ensemble Unicorn, Qntal...

Traditional Song (13th century)
Singing, playing, arranging : Claire Bénard (Korydwenn)
