Resonanda Concert " FLOWER OF JOY", The Love of Mary in Medieval Spain

RESONANDA--Brown's medieval music ensemble--as we present  songs from the thirteenth-century Spanish Cantigas de Santa Maria.   This collection of over 400 songs contains mostly miracle stories;   however, every tenth cantiga is a "cantiga de loor," that is, a  little song of praise to the "Lady of ladies."  In this concert, we  will explore these cantigas de loor, which are often overlooked in  favor of the 'more colorful' miracle cantigas.

Resonanda is:  Miranda Elliott-Rader, Sarah Gibson, Stephen Higa, Melissa Kline, Rae Page, Chloe Paisley, Jack Sullivan
