Cantiga (Alphonso X, 13th Century)- Arr. by Jessica Comeau (Pensacola Mountain Dulcimer Wildflowers)

This piece is one of the “Cantigas de Santa Maria“ (Cantiga #1) composed by Alphonso X, El Sabio in the 13th century, a sequence of songs dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God. Many of these cantigas had a rather lively character, so I suppose they could be played as dances, too! This cantiga especially features the drone on the mountain dulcimer...
