Modern-Day Troubadour and Spiritual Guitar Master:
The Meditative Classical Sounds of Estas Tonne By Ainsley Schoppel The history of troubadours dates back to 1100 in Southern France where composers and performers of lyric poetry entertained the masses. Though some troubadours remained in one location for lengthy periods of time performing under the patronage of wealthy noblemen or women, many troubadours consistently traveled and performed at one court after another. The lyrics of troubadour songs were mainly centered around the concepts of chivalry and courtly love, and most followed a formulaic pattern of composition and were metaphysical and thought-provoking in nature.
