Walther von der Vogelweide
![Portrait of Walther von der Vogelweide from the [[Codex Manesse](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1a/Codex_Manesse_Walther_von_der_Vogelweide.jpg)
Little is known about Walther's life. He was a travelling singer who performed for patrons at various princely courts in the states of the Holy Roman Empire. He is particularly associated with the Babenberg court in Vienna. Later in life he was given a small fief by the future Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick II.
His work was widely celebrated in his time and in succeeding generations—for the Meistersingers he was a songwriter to emulate—and this is reflected in the exceptional preservation of his work in 32 manuscripts from all parts of the High German area. The largest single collection is found in the Codex Manesse, which includes around 90% of his known songs. However, most Minnesang manuscripts preserve only the texts, and only a handful of Walther's melodies survive.
Notable songs include the love-song "Under der linden", the contemplative "Elegy", and the religious ''Palästinalied'', for which the melody has survived. Provided by Wikipedia
