This piece is one of the "Cantigas de Santa Maria" (Cantiga #1: Des oge mais quér' éu trobar) collected by King 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...
(C-G-C tuning, Capo 1- D minor)
Arrangements of this song also appear in my book and DVD set "Mountain Dulcimer Wildflowers,” in my digital book “Cantigas de Santa Maria,” and on my album, “Songs of the Earthly Pilgrimage”: www.jessicacomeaudulcimer.com...

I do love to play medieval songs, especially songs in a minor key! :-) Thank you for listening!

@JessicaComeauDulcimer 11 лет назад

Thank you! I don't have tab for this piece yet; I usually like to learn songs by ear. However, I have been working on writing several pieces of tablature for traditional songs lately, so I may tab out this cantiga one day! I first heard it played by an ensemble called Broceliande, which specializes in Medieval and Renaissance music. Which Sephardic songs do you like to play?

@JessicaComeauDulcimer 10 лет назад

Claire Fossey Yes, there's something uniquely special about the mountain dulcimer, and the worldwide mountain dulcimer community is a warm, diverse group to associate with.

Have you explored some of the other cantigas de Santa Maria? IIRC, these songs were popular with pilgrims on the road to Santiago de Compostela, and it was El Rey Alfonso (El Sabio, the wise) who collected them in written form. I'm sure they were danced as well as sung.

Got my first dulcimer 18 years ago and have just picked it back up after a long break. I mostly played celtic stuff until I saw this and it blew me away. I have also bought the cantiga cd with this one on it. What is the tuning you use, I can follow your fingering as I don't read music much just go by ear. Well done.

@JessicaComeauDulcimer 9 лет назад

That's wonderful news, Joe! Our Pensacola Mountain Dulcimer Wildflowers "Dulcimer in Your Closet Project" is dedicated to encouraging people to bring out their dulcimers from hiding and play them and to celebrating those who have done so, so I'm happy to hear that the mountain dulcimer has re-emerged as a bigger part of your life. :-) Did you happen to find Broceliande's "Cantiga Medely"? That's the recording that familiarized me with this particular cantiga. Enjoy exploring the world of medieval music on the mountain dulcimer!

@NoirVelours 6 лет назад

Here I was listening to lyres, harps, mandolins, guitars, ukuleles, trying to find a new instrument to learn. Then I fall on this video and I'm sold with the first 30 sec. I really want to learn to play the mountain dulcimer. Wow what a sound, it's like exactly what I was searching for without knowing what I really wanted! Thank you Jessica!

@JessicaComeauDulcimer 6 лет назад

How exciting, Noir! Thank you for sharing your story with me. Perhaps you might enjoy my “How to Play the Mountain Dulcimer” videos that are on my channel as well. :-)

@dulcibard 11 лет назад

I like playing them as well. In addition to ballads from the British Isles, I enjoy also playing renaissance music on the dulcimer. I think I have a couple videos of those on my channel... gotta get the camera out more often. LOL

@SuperBrokenWindows 8 лет назад

This is awesome! I'm probably betraying my musical naivete, but I really liked the way that for certain portions the lower strings acted almost like drones while the higher string was the melody. Beautiful sound.

@JessicaComeauDulcimer 8 лет назад

Yes, you are exactly right about the drone strings! :-) Usually we call the string or strings closest to you the "melody" strings, and then you have the bass and middle strings. I appreciate your thoughtful feedback! Thank you.

@JessicaComeauDulcimer 7 лет назад

Thank you for following my music, Chris! I am glad that you are enjoying my album. How did you first discover it? :-)

@chrisbethel 7 лет назад

My friends and I started playing a role playing game called Dungeons & Dragons. I opted to play a Gnome who is a Bard. During my character creation I was given the option of an instrument to play so I selected the dulcimer. Not knowing what that is, I googled it and your video popped up and so I thought that your music would be perfect to play during the game to provide another level of experience. Then as luck would have it, I was able to find your ablum on iTunes (which is really awesome). We played our game this past weekend and everyone loved it. Your music was enjoyed by the group as they envisioned my bard being the musician while I played the music from my iPhone. Thanks again for your music and allowing us to enjoy it during our game.

@JessicaComeauDulcimer 7 лет назад

What a wonderful story, Chris! Thank you for sharing. I am glad that my music is interwoven with the story of your life and with imaginary adventures with your friends. :-)
