	The Once & Future Harp
		The Cantigas da Santa Maria or Canticles of Holy Mary, were collected and beautifully preserved in four manuscripts by King Alfonso X, El Sabio (The Wise) who ruled medieval Spain from 1252 to 1284.
		Cantiga 380 is a Cantiga de loor or Cantiga of praise.
		Most of the Cantigas tell the stories of the many miracles of Holy Mary, but the Cantigas de loor (every tenth Cantiga in the manuscripts) extol her virtues and encourage everyone to thank and praise her.

	ALFONSO X EL SABIO/ Eduardo Paniagua/ Música Antigua/
		The versions of the Cantigas are offered in their entirety with complete lyrics, except those performed instrumentally, something which distinguishes Paniagua and his group from others that don't perform the complete versions.
		The voices chosen have personality although at times they are a little blurred by heavy percussion (as is the case of the soprano in cantiga 116), and all serve their function.
		In cantiga 116 the obsessive syncopated percussion (Peñaparda's tambourine) when accompanying the hurdy-gurdy, tends to break the balance of the form, as does the vocal tutti.

	The Cantigas of Alfonso the Wise
		In the course of doing so, I found Cantiga XV, which I intended to make into a folk-play, like the mummers play we perform regularly.
		Translating it for this purpose has proved to be a thorny problem, but I found a lovely set of illustrations that go with Cantiga X, and I have at least (October 2000) got that one to the doggerel stage.
		Reflecting this eclecticism, the tales of the Cantigas are drawn from all of these cultures, so, welcome to the world of the Cantigas.

	Ingrid Vindel Pérez: ...cantiga que Alfons X dedicó a cierto deán de Cádiz -nº 14 Espéculo (UCM)
		Pues la cantiga va dirigida a un cierto deán de Cádiz, contiene su mismo propósito la particularidad de ironizar sobre los usos y vicios de éste a partir de unos livros d’arte que dicho deán tiene en su haber y que le permiten hacer alarde y ostentación del arte do foder con las mujeres.
		La cantiga se compone, por tanto, a tenor de los vicios y malos hábitos de un cierto deán; pero en ningún momento se da en ella tono alguno de reprobación o diatriba.
		Kenneth R. Schölberg viene a referirse, con acierto, a las cantigas d'escarneo como a aquellas de tono jocoso sin más; mientras que las de tono más mordaz ¾las de mal dizer¾ son aludidas como "cantigas satirizantes".

	Camerata Mediterranea: Cantigas
		They are preserved in several large and elaborate manuscripts prepared at the royal court; and while it is doubtful that the King composed all of the songs personally, it is clear that he was closely involved, emotionally and materially, in their compilation.
		The Arabo-andalusian pieces that serve as preludes and postludes to the Cantigas on this recording were chosen for their intrinsic beauty first of all, but also for their musical kinship with certain Cantigas melodies.
		The preparation of these Cantigas has been a large undertaking, as exhilarating and passionate in its human interactions as it has been on the scholarly and musical front.Special thanks are due Erato Disques, Paris, for their courage and foresight in supporting this project.

		Meanwhile, as Cantiga was discovering the melodic enchantment of late Medieval and Renaissance repertoire, in the north and on the east coast Owain Phyfe was searching for musicians to form The New World Renaissance Band.
		Whenever we cue up Cantiga or the NWRB on the CD player, and the gentle impassioned sound of his strings are given life again through the marvel of an encrypted plastic disc, Malcolm’s talented spirit is with us.
		When I first experienced Cantiga and The New World Renaissance Band at a Renaissance Fair and on the recording “Live The Legend” I knew I was being asked to leave the mundane for the magical.

	CD Baby: CANTIGA - from celtic
		Whimsical, light-hearted, madcap or melancholy, Cantiga's music delights the ear and the heart.
		CANTIGA evokes the rustic charm of the Renaissance Festival with sparkling Irish jigs, stately Renaissance airs and haunting Medieval tunes creating music which is childlike, mischievous and eerie.
		A bright mixture of rustic Medieval dances, timeless Celtic airs and joyous fiddling opens the gateway into Cantiga's magical realm.

	Medieval Instruments VI c : Winds
		Called añafil (from the Arabic al-nafir), it is shown in the Cantigas with pennons displaying the lion and castle arms of Leon and Castile, leaving no doubt as to its role as an instrument of power and prestige.
		This was derived from the Arabic al-buq, originally a generic word for horns and trumpets, but latterly restricted to horns.
		This unlikely instrument seems to have survived, or have been revived, into the 13th century and Cantiga 300 shows a huge one being played, accompanied by an hourglass-shaped drum.

		Each cantiga is represented in six or twelve (and in one case eight) illuminated panels that describe visually the miracle recounted in the song.
		The Holy Mary is credited with healing powers, as in cantiga 37 where she restores an amputated foot and in cantiga 69 where she made a deaf-mute speak, and even with bringing the dead back to life, as in cantigas 21 and 33 where she restores to life a child and a pilgrim.
		Some cantigas deal with Her powers in a more circumspect way, like cantiga 29 where Mary made her image appear on the stones, but all of them demonstrate in the end the boundless love that people expected from the Virgin Mary.

	Chapter Eleven: Melodic Survivals? Hurt Schindler and the Tune of Alfonso's Cantiga Rosa das rosas in Oral Tradition
		By the middle of the fourteenth century, however, interest in the Cantigas had begun to decline until they were totally forgotten (empezaron a decaer en interés hasta quedar completamente olvidadas).
		Still, the possible instance of a cantiga tune surviving in oral tradition up to the third decade of the present century appears to have given rise to a few casual notices, even though its sung text is a Castilian translation of the original Galician-Portuguese.
		He concluded that the text is traditional (folklórico) and relates to its original antecedent, the cantiga, despite the difficulty of proving it (es [de no establecerse una transmisión no tradicional ] folklórico, y cuenta con un antecedente, la cantiga original).

		A cantiga, percorrido retrospectivo polas principais revolucións sociais do século XX.
		Para a crítica Inma López Silva “cada un dos personaxes de Cantiga para JA remite a unha desas contradicións contemporáneas que veñen amosar a íntima relación entre progreso e perda de valores éticos.

		Cantiga made up of harpist Martha Gay, fiddle-player Malcolm Smith, woodwind player Bob Bielefeld, and cellist Max Dyer was touring the Renaissance Faire circuit.
		But it was not until the autumn of 1990 when a mutual friend provided him with an underground Cantiga cassette that Phyfe learned of the group's existence.
		On a commute to work a few months later, Phyfe finally listened to the tape and came to the realization that these were the musicians he was looking for.

	A cantiga de amor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A cantiga de amor representa un esforzo por anovar totalmente os estudios sobre este xénero literario que, logo de ter ocupado o lugar central da estética trobadoresca, foi incomprendido e menosprezado por filólogos, críticos e lectores.
		De aí a aparición de aspectos marcadamente innovadores, moi en particular a articulación do poema como un todo artístico a partir dos recursos retóricos, o paralelismo e o conceptismo.
		A cantiga de amor deixa de ser un apéndice da poesía provenzal para adquirir personalidade propia e orixinal no seo da lírica medieval europea.

		This is one of the finest performances I have heard of the Cantigas de Santa Maria.
		Though the influence of eastern music on the Cantigas is very controversial, its deliberate use here, in the microtones and rhythmic patterns, is extremely effective and gives the whole disc an atmosphere of authenticity not many have.
		These kinds of educated guesses are the closest we will get to hearing what the Cantigas have to tell us, and this disc seems to be not far off the mark.

		So, when I saw the cover for the new Cantiga CD “Martha’s Dragon”, one of my first thoughts was, “Are you a good dragon, or a bad one?” After all, dragons are right up there with lions and tigers and bears on the fear factor scale.
		Dragons in some form are present in the folklore of nearly all cultures, and as usual, Cantiga presents tunes showcasing a societal variety of ancient song.
		I ordered this CD by Cantiga along with Lute Works, but, the difference being, I wanted this CD for more than simply to scratch curiosity’s itch.
