Background: Oswald von Wolkenstein, the Monk of Salzburg, Neidhard von Reuental and Tannhäuser mark the end of an era. Classical Minnesang, with its noble and courtly forms and manners was now caricatured, spoiled, made fun of and transposed from the courtly into the peasant environment. There is hardly any effort to veil the erotic references and in some cases the lyrics are full of literary wit of almost Dadaist character. While classical Minnesang totally subordinated the melody to the lyrics, in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the music took on ever greater significance.

The second (and last) part of the Minnesang Anthology has been compiled by the renowned medievalist and philologist Volker Mertens from recordings in the Christophorus archives and he has provided it with a comprehensive commentary.
