Rosa das Rosas: Cantigas de Santa Maria and Other Spiritual Songs for the Virgin
Centuries of dedication and folklore in the courts and chapels of early Spain, Italy & Portugal produced music with rhythms that reverberated across the Mediterranean.  Spanning four centuries of vocal and instrumental music, this recording features a diverse collection of Iberian Cantigas de Santa Maria, Arab-Andalusian dances and Italian spiritual songs--all telling of sometimes-humorous, always-incredible saintly miracles.
