Como poden per sas culpas (viola duo)

Title: Como poden per sas culpas, from Cantigas de Santa Maria

Composer: unknown, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Two Violas

Printout: 2 pages

Note: Cantigas de Santa Maria (Songs of St Mary) is a collection of devotional songs written down during the reign of King Alphonso X of Castile. It is one of the most important sources of early music in the western world. All of the Cantigas are monophonic, but I have provided a rhythmic second voice imitating the drones and percussion that often accompanied music in the middle ages.
