In addition to "flower songs," a new medieval genre, the "dawn song" (French aube; German Tagelied) in which lovers recall their night spent together, was known in Hungary as well. Dance songs, drinking songs, swineherds' songs, goliardic poetry, nefanda carmina (cursing songs) and mocking songs were probably also known at this period. Wandering minstrels and, especially, itinerant students had an important role in performing and spreading these songs. Besides performing theatrical plays and epic poetry, students had another function as singers of holiday and family greetings: performing satirical and parodic genres.

I have nary a CD with me in New York. I brought all my possessions in two suitcases, after all. Therefore, I give you the nearest DVD insert:

"I had never realized Darcy was such a famous figure in literature. I mean, I didn't know the book and had never heard anyone really talk about it. But then, when I mentioned it, everyone would tell me how they were devoted to this book, how at school they'd been in love with Darcy and my brother said, 'Darcy? Isn't he supposed to be sexy?'"

"Through the Gate of Spain Roland goes riding past
On Veillantif, his swiftly-running barb"
