Snow 2007: "A widely used melody of Raimbaut de Vaqueiras, through a version of it adapted by Sordello, finds its way into Alfonso's ‘Ben sabia eu, mha senhor’ (Tavani 18.5), his only cantiga d'amor. The use of contrafacta of ultra-Pyrenees melodic models appears, on the other evidence of this study, to have been flourishing among the poets of Alfonso's court." |
