MADRE DE DEUS 
Cantigas de Santa Maria del Rey Alfonso X «El Sabio»

The over 400 Cantigas de Santa Maria represent one of the most important collections of Medieval religious poems with music notation, composed under the patronage and influence of King Alfonso X of Castille. Preserved in several precious 13th-century manuscripts, the fascinating Cantigas are related to Marian miracles and depict the Virgin with both earthly and heavenly traits. A marvellous universe and everyday life from the Middle Ages that the Micrologus ensemble rebuilds with rigour and energy
