De Mey / Lahaye / Trobar Project - Exils - Celles Qui Restent, Celles Qui Partent - Music CD

From the dawn of time, across the four corners of the world, exile has left it's mark on the landscape of men... and on the songs of women. Mediaeval songs by trouvres and nuns (The women who stayed), Iberian and Sephardic songs (The women who left) are woven around Exils, a set of four pieces composed by Thierry de Mey in homage to all those women (from ancient times to our modern and highly topical times) who never reached their place of exile
