Cantiga

Here is Cantiga #353 (Quen a omagen da Virgen e de séu Fillo honrrar) from Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of 420 poems with musical notation dedicated to the virgin Mary during the reign of Alfonso X of Castile El Sabio (1221-1284). Chosen for its fun tune rather than its story. Performed by Daniel Shoskes on a 5 course medieval gittern made by George Stevens. The story: Only surviving son of a wealthy man is sent to live in a monastery. He was fascinated by a statue of the Virgin and Child and brought it food every day. The statue spoke to him and said come eat with my father tomorrow (shades of Don Giovanni). That night the boy and the abbott came to the statue, fell ill, died and were taken to heaven. Might have been nice to have lived a full life first, but that's medieval logic. #medieval #medievalmusic
