"Cel que No. vol auzir chansos" is a medieval Occitan troubadour song composed by Raimon de Miraval. The song is believed to have been composed in the 12th century, during the height of the troubadour movement in southern France. The song is known for its beautiful melody and poignant lyrics, which express the troubadour's longing for his beloved. The song is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct character. The first movement is slow and mournful, with a simple melody that emphasizes the troubadour's sadness and longing. The second movement is more lively and upbeat, with a faster tempo and a more complex melody that reflects the troubadour's hope and optimism. The third movement returns to the slow, mournful character of the first movement, with a simple melody that emphasizes the troubadour's continued longing and sadness. The lyrics of "Cel que No. vol auzir chansos" are written in Occitan, the language of the troubadours. The lyrics express the troubadour's longing for his beloved, who has left him and gone away. The troubadour sings of his sadness and loneliness, and his desire to be reunited with his beloved. The lyrics are filled with poetic imagery and metaphors, which add to the song's emotional impact. The song premiered in the courts of southern France, where it was performed by troubadours and other musicians. It quickly became popular throughout the region, and was widely performed at festivals and other public events. Today, "Cel que No. vol auzir chansos" is considered one of the most beautiful and poignant troubadour songs, and is still performed by musicians and singers around the world.
