Cantigas de Santa Maria, d'Alfons X El Savi: Santa Maria, strela do dia / Pero cantigas de loor / Instr. / Muito faz grand'erro / Por nos de dulta livrar / Inst. / Pode por Santa Maria / Miragres fremosos faz por nos / Inst. / De toda chaga ben pode guarir / Pero que seja a gente
Considered to be one of the most interesting sources of medieval music and poetry, there are over 400 Cantigas de Santa María, mainly works of a religious nature recounting miracles wrought by the Holy Virgin, although there are a few which also include popular tales of a picaresque or anticlerical nature.
