The Western ("Frankish") dynasty of the Lusignans ruled Cyprus between 1192 and 1489 and imported French culture to the island. The artistic development of Cyprus over those three centuries was admired all over Europe.
The Huelgas Ensemble, conducted by Paul Van Nevel, presents an exceptional concert of extracts from the Franco-Cypriot Codex composed in the 15th century for King Janus. This priceless manuscript, which can be seen in the exhibition devoted to the island's history, includes all the genres of the time: masses, motets, ballads, virelais, and rondeaux.
