Come On In
Adam de la Halle, (1240–1287), also known as Adam le Bossu (Adam the Hunchback), was a French trouvère, poet and musician. Adam’s literary and musical works include chansons and jeux-partis (poetic debates) in the style of the trouvères; polyphonic rondel and motets in the style of early liturgical polyphony; and a musical play, Jeu de Robin et Marion (c. 1282–83), which is considered the earliest surviving secular French play with music. He was a member of the Confrérie des jongleurs et bourgeois d’Arras.
