Rediscovered gems of Jewish music from Germany and eastern France form the basis of Alla Francescas unusual and refined programme, along with music in the vernacular from the century of the Black Death. Hebrew and Yiddish songs, ballads by Guillaume de Machaut, lamentations during processions and Minnesang are among the poignant works that recount how the population dealt with the devastating plague epidemic and how people tried to save their own souls or those of others.
