I recently purchased CD, Music of the Troubadours, which is an
anthology of troubadour music and verse.
In these preserved songs of langue d'oc, r is very strongly rolled.
Is there any possibility that Pound's rolling r in reading Cantos is
styled after troubadour songs?
Apart from this, troubadour music is very Arabic or oriental, I found
out.
