Troubadour poetry as lyric poetry

Can troubadour poetry be considered lyric poetry?

Lyric poetry different from the Greek and Roman Lyric traditions, yet it is still considered Lyric poetry. I think the connectin to Song unites all three categories. Greek Lyric poetry established the genre and the poems were meant to be accompanied by a lyre. Roman lyric poetry pulled directly from the Greek Lyric tradition and the Roman poets reference Greek poets in their work. The Troubador poets also wrote poems that were intended to be sung. The introduction to Lark in the Morning states that the Troubadors were song-writers and singers (1). Then in the volume itself, Arnault Daniel claims, “I’ll make a song with exquisite / Clear words” (197) and Maria de Ventadorn says, “Gui d’Ussel, I’ve been distraught /  Since you gave up singing” (179). Both poems reference singing or songs to talk about the troubadour poems. The poems are one in the same with song. Even the front cover of the volume has a poet with a stringed instrument. Even though it is not accompanied by the lyre, the troubadour poets were songs intended to be sung. The songs of the Troubadors are songs. They connect to the Greek Lyric poems which are also meant to be sung.
