This 2021 is the anniversary of the 800 years from the birth of Alfonso X El Sabio. To celebrate him, this year I'll share many versions of his Cantigas! This is the fourth video about it, you can find the others easily on the channel. 🌻
Alfonso X was born in 1221, he was King of the Romans, of Castile and León. His father was Ferdinand III, a liberal man called "the Saint" and the "King of religions" as during his reign he managed to make Christians, Muslims and Jews coexist in peace. His mother was Elisabetta Hohenstaufen, nephew of Frederick Barbarossa. From the sources that speak of his life we ​​know that in his youth Alfonso was surrounded by numerous paramours and politically helped his father in many military campaigns, but it was his love for Art that made him immortal with the nickname "El Sabio". In 1254 Alfonso endowed with many privileges the school of Salamanca, founded by his grandfather, and thanks to Pope Alexander IV, he obtained permission to make the school an international university allowing its graduates to teach anywhere, except Paris and Bologna. Alfonso tried to bring together all the knowledge of his time in the language spoken by his subjects by founding the School of Translators of Toledo; the Muslim and Jewish sages of his court translated ancient Arabic and Hebrew works into Castilian. His scientific, historical and literary work was fundamental; promoted the drafting and publication of a series of authoritative texts in various fields of artistic and scientific culture such as the Alfonsine Tables: astronomical tables capable of providing the positions of the Sun, planets, stars and the dates of eclipses. He was also an excellent poet and even the author of one of the first treatises on chess. However, it was Music that handed it over to legend thanks to the collection of the famous Cantigas de Santa Maria, monophonic songs of the XIII cent. now preserved in Madrid and Florence, containing an enormous number of compositions and representations of musical instruments and players. The outset of these compositions can be traced back to the troubadour art, which were so successful as to induce Alfonso X to use both the language and the form. Marian devotion was particularly in vogue in this century, the collection sees the participation of aristocrats and courtiers, bourgeois, friars, clerics and jesters of humble origins, but protected in the courts. King Alfonso himself composed cántigas, some of which incite poets and jesters to dedicate their efforts and inspiration to the “Santa Dama”. In addition to the Cantigas de Santa Maria, the Cantigas de Amigo, popular, melodious and melancholic, also spread in that period, showing some contact with the Mozarabic kharge in Arabic-Hebrew composed in the XI cent.. The work has great importance from a triple point of view: literary, musical and pictorial. Alfonso X inherited from his father Fernando III his musical chapel which brought together interpreters and composers of various cultures and who formed part of the alphonsine court, similar to his School of translators or scriptorium regio.

Toujours c'est un plaisir d'écouter les Cantigas de Alfonso el Sabio et les Cantigas de amigo de Martín Códax. Chaque ensemble exprime par moyen de leurs arrangements l'esprit de l'epoque par ailleurs de ce qui a été écrit dans le Códex Calixtinus et le manuscript Pierre Vindel.

What perfect timing This is simply perfect. It's late in the evening and I have just finished listening to a few Byzantine chants in honour of the Theotokos. Thank you for sharing yet another beautiful version of the Cantigas!

Música de un período esplendoroso lleno de sabiduría. Gracias por ofrecernos esta joya de la Música Universal.

Magnificent...! As a lifelong aficianado of folk and traditional music, both religious and secular, I made a point of purchasing a huge pile of music when first visiting Santiago about 25 years ago. Acquired the Grupo's earliest recordings, along with works by Citania (In Itinere), Carlos Nunez (Estrellas) and Milladoiro (several), among others. Raised on the "Celtic" forms of the British Isles, with players in the family, exploring the roots & branches of these early influences remains one of life's great pleasures. One of my finest flashbacks is sharing pints with Paddy M. years ago after a performance. Sharing a couple bottles of Codax '95 "anniversary" vintage atop the Parador in Villalba -- with the Grupo sounding in the night air -- is another personal pinnacle. These days, I enjoy applying their ideas creatively in a "heavier" space with my regular trio. Thanks for this most excellent memory of my visits to Galicia.

Greetings from Galicia, nice words dude!

Thanks.

[@stardust5379]

Perfect music whilst I am scaping a calf skin to make into vellum. Then it's off to the river to wash it and bring it back to stretch on the frame. The monks will be pleased to have it so they can write the next chapter of The Commentary on the Apocalypse.

Thank you for the lively and cheerful music! Also the colorful "thumbnail" artwork with the chess players; I recently finished reading Walter Tevis' novel *The Queen's Gambit*, and still had chess on my mind.

[@kamilcopur6513]

[@russellhays1451]

Do I hear a Hurdy Gurdy/Vielle a roue in some performances, and who plays it? Make sound of Music, I have been collecting every Catinga, I can find on you tube. 288 pieces not including the those part of album, well over 350.
