The Cantigas de Santa Maria, or “Canticles of Holy Mary”, is a collection of over 400 poems set to music. The text of the Cantigas is written in the medieval Galician-Portuguese language. The poems were collected during the reign of Alfonso X of Castile El Sabio (1221–1284) and are characterized by the fact that every one of them mentions the Virgin Mary (with over 300 being about miracles) and that every tenth poem in the collection is an actual hymn. Alfonso sent scribes throughout the region to collect these poems and thus it is not only one of the largest collections of monophonic songs from the Middle Ages it is also one of the first mass collections of living culture in history. Though all are attributed to Alfonso, it has been determined that much of the musical notation, scribing, and illumination was completed by artisans of his court.  This arrangement FEATURES Full Score and Individual Parts for one cantiga as Interpreted by the Arranger from the Original Mensural Notation into a performance quality arrangement for SATB recorders. The title in this arrangement is: 012. O Que a Santa Maria This Cantiga de Santa Maria song is also included in the collection titled: Cantigas de Santa Maria for Recorder Quartet Volume 02 which includes a total of 10 individual arrangements from the source material. Note: Song titles are medieval Galician-Portuguese language and are derived by the arranger from the first line of each cantiga lyric. This is another great sheet music arrangement from Drachen Music.
