Rosa das Rosas: Cantigas de Santa Maria & Other Spiritual Songs for the Virgin

Centuries of dedication and folklore in the chapels and courts of early Italy, Spain and Portugal produced music with rhythms that reverberated across the Mediterranean. In this recording spanning three centuries of vocal and instrumental music, a diverse collection of lyric poetry, dances, Italian spiritual songs, and Galician-Portuguese Cantigas de Santa Maria tell of the Virgin's sometimes-humorous, always-incredible miracles.
