The songs of German Minnesängers used to be almost unknown in the Slovenian language, and above all, they had not been collected in a publication that would explain their origin, function and at the same time introduce their authors. The vast majority of songs was also without musical notation.

This is why, as part of Ich zôch mir einen valken – I Raised a Falcon activity, Mateja Gaber, PhD, (Faculty of Arts), Jani Kovačič (Gimnazija Bežigrad) and Aldo Kumar (Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television) focused their attention on songs with animal theme.

 

This theme primarily takes the image of a falcon and can be found particularly in dawn songs.
