Songs from GCantigas de Santa Mariag
This collection of over 400 songs comes from Spain and is one of the greatest musical documents of the Middle Ages. The manuscript stems from the court of Alfonso X (1221-1284), King of Castile and Leon, also known as Alfonso the Wise. His court was one of the main cultural centres of Europe, and evidence shows that musicians of many nationalities came together there to perform these cantigas. There is little doubt as to the Gworld-musicg atmosphere that prevailed at the court, and it is with this in mind that ALBA has selected and arranged some of the songs from this magnificent collection.
