Cantigas de Santa Maria

Album by Alfonso X el Sabio & Hespèrion XXI & La Capella Reial de Catalunya & Jordi Savall

Cantigas de Santa Maria is a 13th-century collection of Marian songs compiled under the patronage of Alfonso X el Sabio. The manuscript preserves notated monophonic Galician-Portuguese compositions with characteristic medieval modal melodies and illuminations, and it serves as a principal source for the study of medieval Iberian devotional and vernacular musical practice.
First released: 1993
