The two lais on this recording are found in a manuscript songbook known as the Noailles Chansonnier from c.1300. In the anonymous Plainte de la Vierge au pied de la croix the Virgin Mary speaks in first person in a figurative lament at the foot of the cross. The Lai de Notre Dame, attributed to 13th-century troubadour Ernoul 'Le Vieux' or 'Le Vielle', begins with the author's promise to keep faith with the Virgin Mary and serve no other woman, a pledge quite reminiscent of those of Alfonso X of Castile in his Cantigas de Santa Maria, one of the largest collections of monophonic songs from the Middle Ages. The Cantigas, attributed to King Alfonso X (1221-1284), were written in early-Medieval Galician-Portuguese, fashionable as a lyrical language in Castile at the time. In Santa Maria loei, e loo e loarei, the king thanks the Virgin Mary for her kindness and protection. Nenbressete, Madre de Deus deals with Mary's role as mediator - in medieval eyes, her primary function. It was composed as a contrafactum on Recordare, translating the antiphon into Galician-Portuguese and expanding it with new musical and poetic concepts. Virgen Madre groriosa, a contrafactum on the estampie 'Reis Glorios' by French troubadour Giraut de Bornelh, binds this album together, demonstrating the relationship between the Galician-Portuguese and French lyrics. To the members of Malandança, medieval music is a field in which both performance and scholarship are unavoidable and interdependent subjects. Research conducted by Francisco Luengo and others into sculptures depicting medieval instruments has opened up a world of sounds, ideas, images and voices from the distant Middle Ages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Plainte de la Vierge Au Pied de la Croix \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Santa Maria Loei, E Loo E Loarei \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Recordare \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Nembressete Madre de Deus \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Lai de Notre Dame \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Virgen Madre Groriosa\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Luengo \/ Gimenez \/ Arias","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40557968883783,"sku":"36249619","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3795506.jpg?v=1747795170","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/luengo-gimenez-arias-mya-senhor-velida","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
