From 1337 to 1453, France and England waged a ruthless combat, but far from the battlefields, spiritual and intellectual activity flourished. More than ever, people prayed and sang. In England, despite a culture profoundly marked by French taste, a school of composition specific to the country developed at the end of the 13th century. This programme alternates chants in Latin and songs in English, frequently evoking the figure of the Virgin Mary.
