Adam de la Halle (c. 1240–c. 1288) was a pioneering French composer, poet, and musician of the medieval era, often regarded as one of the last great trouvères. Born in Arras, he blended courtly lyricism with early forms of drama and polyphony, bridging the gap between monophonic song and emerging structured composition. His notable works, including *Le Jeu de Robin et Marion*, showcase his innovative fusion of music and theater. Adam’s artistry laid vital groundwork for the evolution of Western music and poetic storytelling.
