Canso and the Cantigas
Canso is a group of established instrumentalists and vocalists from south-eastern Europe,
specializing in music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, who have been drawn together
by the delight they share in the unique textures of this music, and the scope they find in its
troubadour tradition for joyful improvisation.
For its first disc Canso has selected works from the collection known as the
'Cantigas de Santa Maria', compiled around 1250 under the supervision of King Alonso X
'The Wise ', King of Castile. While the songs performed are dedicated to the Virgin,
whose cult was blossoming at the time of their composition, the court of King Alonso
welcomed singers and musicians from all over the western Mediterranean. The exaltation
of earthly delights characteristic of the Provençal poets suffuses the music, as does their
playful understanding of the proximity of the sacred and profane. lt is perhaps unsurprising
then that music that so generously shelters and acknowledges diverse impulses should
beckon to itself centuries later a group of musicians of such deep and varied experience.
