Kapelle? Kapellemeister?Comment

It seems an answer is needed for Nobility and a composition from the late mediaevel period. I'm off for a while now as well. Happy hunting!Originally posted by herculeComment

But is it one K or four separate K's? Bit confusedComment

Anna: Nobility - "denotes minor German nobility"
Composition: an example of the devotio moderna movement (late mediaeval) .
BTS: It's not Kapellmeister. Only the answer and the first clue have the "K". Sorry if it's all a bit confusing but it's my first go at this kind of quizz.My life, each morning when I dress, is four and twenty hours less. (J Richardson)Comment

They would be very much more than "minor" nobility! Go right down the pecking order.Originally posted by BetweenTheStaves View Post

Well, fancy that, The Song Book of Anna von Köln is a collection of devotional songs in Latin and the vernacular (indeed, in several medieval dialects) was compiled about 1500 in Cologne, an example of devotio moderna. As you say, the things you learn! Whoops! Cross posted yet again!Originally posted by Pianorak View PostComment

Koeln (Cologne cathedral)
von - denoting minor German nobility
Bethlehem - A. von K's composition: Puer Natus in Bethlehem
The Song Book of A. von K. an example of the devotio moderna movement (late mediaeval) .
Anna von Koeln (ca. 1480 - 1530)

Huh? That was the answer...? (Stumbles blindly...)
