Cantigas de Loor

Alfonso and the "Cantigas"
the notation of the "Cantigas"
the language of the "Cantigas".

"Here is a rich story of medieval music and religious song undistorted by copying or use over seven centuries and with all the scholarship that could satisfy the student of language or music."
Books Ireland Summer 2000

"for the useful summary of current thinking on the Cantigas, the invaluable guide to pronunciation, the literal translations that allow the performer to understand each work he or she is singing and the perceptive notes to each song, this edition is indispensable to both scholar and performer."
Times Literary Supplement Feb 2001
