SEMI-SEPHARDIC HEAVEN.......2007-02-15
This record is new to me, as is most music of this type, from this era. I've a taste for middle-eastern music, both Islamic and otherwise -- including Hindu -- and am wild about most Hungarian and Slavic music. The frankly Sephardic music I've heard I find rapturous and profoundly satisfying. This music of EL SABIO fits into that category, easily, and the musicality of the performers is distinctive in the best way.
A new favorite has appeared on my shelves.
Brilliant.......2006-08-02
This compilation is dedicated to the works and compositions of Alfonso X, 13th century King of Castile and Leon, and a Renaissance man long before the concept of Renaissance had even been conceived. Alfonso was responsible for a tremendous period of advancement in learning in medieval Europe, and was a remarkable scholar and composer in his own right. At a time when the Bishop of Paris enjoyed a library of only four volumes, Alfonso had sponsored a library in Castile with over 30,000, collecting the works Christians, Muslims and Jews into one massive complex devoted to learning and freedom of thought. In this latter vein, Alfonso was also a competent astrologer, and, some say, adept of the esoteric Art. Irrespective of this, he was ill favored by the Church, predominantly due to his tolerance of the Muslims and Jews, with whom the Christian residents of Castile lived in harmony in contrast to the balance of the known world of the day.
DuFay Collective are, in a word, brilliant, basically the Pink Martini of the music of the period. Their music never fails to transport you back in time. In this collaboration with the 13th century Castilian King, they have produced a phenomenal, almost mystical album, whose compositions are highly reminiscent of those of Hildegard von Bingen, and the evocative and mystical harmony of the album Diadema, by Vox.
Of all of the works by DuFay to date, this is, by far, my favorite. It takes the mind and soul to other places. It is truly a masterpiece, and a collaborative effort across 700 years between an enlightened King at the end of the Dark Ages, and master performers of medieval music in modern times.

Customer Reviews:
Beware! two old CDs reissued with a new name.......2006-08-02
I bought this CD with great anticipation because I love Spanish music of this era. To my disappointment, this was not a new recording, but a reissue of two CDs I already own: "1492: Music from the Age of Discovery" and "Traveler." If you don't have these CDs already, this double set is a great bargain. But check your CD rack before buying!
A reworking of a prior disc - but now with 2 CDs.......2006-01-27
I was pleased to see that one of my favorite CDs had not really gone out of print, but was reworked into this title and now with a bonus CD. Even though I own the original "Music from the Age of Discovery 1492", I'll probably buy this disc just for the extras. Very nice mood music, lots of variety, exotic instruments and lovely voices.
perfect by candlelight or in the office.......2000-10-20
i've owned this CD for several years, and never tire of it. weather i'm curled up with a book, or just in the office with headphones on, it's appropriate for any occasion (outside a raucus party). i highly suggest it if you're interested in exotic, mystical, and festive tunes.

One of the richest sources of medieval music is the 13th-century Spanish collection of songs known as the Cantigas de Santa Maria (Songs of Holy Mary). Compiled by King Alfonso X, these songs represent a fascinating variety of nonliturgical tunes and poems that tell us a great deal about life in the Middle Ages. Most of the songs express love, reverence, and praise for the Virgin Mary and include stories of miracles she performed. Reflecting the popular traditions of the French troubadours, the melodies are expressive, lyrical, and easily singable, and often show a lively rhythmic structure. Other tunes are more improvisatory in nature. The members of Sonus are expert musicians who give each song its own flavor by appropriate choice of voice and instruments, which includes soprano voice, recorder, shawm, harp, chitarra, oud, and a variety of percussion. The very attractive program also includes poetry and songs from another collection, Cantigas de amigo, and a lovely piece from the famous convent at Las Huelgas. --David Vernier

Medieval Spanish music shines.......2001-10-10
I am currently enrolled in a medieval/Renaissance Spanish literature class and have just attended a lecture about pilgrimages to Santiago de Compostela. This music was used as a soundtrack and immediately captured my attention with its striking combination of recorder, hurdy gurdy, harp and vocals, as well as the fact that it is based on various cantigas de amigo and was penned by Alfonso X el Sabio. It reinforces what we have covered in class by setting the texts to lively, rhythmical melodies that show both French and Arabic influences.
This CD is a fascinating overview of medieval Spanish Mariano religious texts and poetry and songs performed capably by Sonus. The tunes are by turns danceable and a touch melancholy in places, and the instruments and voices are a perfect match for each other. "Echoes of Spain" proved a very melodious introduction to medieval Spanish music and I recommend it to all early music fans.
Beautiful........1999-05-10
This music is beautiful and expressive. Words cannot describe such pure sound.

beautiful voices bring medieval music to the modern world.......2002-02-09
As an extensive collector of medieval music I have listened to many cds that present 12th century music. Sequentia is one of the best performance groups of this type of music. Their harmonies are clear and crisp. The music reaches out from the dark ages and touches the modern listner with its beauty.
Wonderful!.......1999-01-01
This cd is an amazing journey into medieval choral music. Sequentia is true to the music, and performs it beautifully. There is a depth to this cd, and with every new listen there's more to hear.
