Cantiga de Santa Maria 179 "Ben sab' a que pód' e val" (Alfonso X)
Contrafactum "O Virgo Splendens*" (Llibre Vermell)
* O Virgo is a 3 voiced Caça (caccia) contained in the Llibre Vermell. I "modulated" (i.e. changed the mode of the scale) from the original mode of D to G mode, thus turning the Dorian original into Lidian.
Cantiga de Santa Maria 322 "A Virgen, que de Deus madre" (Alfonso X)
Contrafactum "Salterello" (London MS Add 29987)
The Salterello, as the rest of instrumental dances contained in this mss, has irregular metric phrasing but it fits well together with the Cantiga creating polyrythmic textures and some beautiful dissonances.
