La Romanesca presents a portrait of the musical diversity of Spanish song in the period immediately preceding both the great expulsion and Columbus' great voyages. Music of christian, moorish, jewish Spain before 1492. Recorders: Ruth Wilkinson, Ros Bandt
Imagine Spain's most glorious, powerful and corrupt era! La Romanesca has constructed a portrait of the musical diversity of Spanish song before 1492, that is, the great expulsion and Columbus' great voyages. A highly evocative and historically enlightening collection of Sephardic songs, the 13th century 'Cantigas de Santa Maria', Jarchas and music from the Christian courts of the 15th and 16th Century.
A leading force in early music in Australia since 1978, La Romanesca has developed a special interest in the performance of mediaeval monophonic and polyphonic song, although the group's repertory spans the twelfth to seventeenth centuries.
