Some friends and I have entertained ourselves by working up our own versions of the Cantigas de Amigo by Martin Codax<\/a>.\u00a0 We started with a transcription by Chris Elmes<\/a>.\u00a0 While much of that was very good, some of the transcription was troublesome, so we took a close look at the original manuscript. (ca. 1275, image from Wikimedia<\/a>).\u00a0 We ended up making our own transcriptions, or heavily editing the ones we started with, for almost all of the pieces.\u00a0 Information from http:\/\/www.cantigasdesantamaria.com<\/a> was very helpful in transcribing neumes and informative on pronunciation.\u00a0 Researching the Arabic influence on this music led us to http:\/\/www.maqamworld.com<\/a>, an endlessly fascinating site for a Western trained musician to browse and learn a different approach.<\/p>\n

We are happy to share the scores we have come up with, invented second parts, indications of improvisation, and all.<\/p>\n
