Commentary: |
Notes from Snow 1977, no. 129: "Seven shorter studies which accomplish several things: 1) establish that no musicologist should take seriously the work of Ribera (1922) on the CSM (see esp. pp. 42 and 54-7); 2) print musical transcriptions which are based on sounder precepts of musicology; and 3) give metrical paraphrases, which are attempts to prevent heretical interpretations from attaching themselves to the cantigas selected. The latter procedure is not a happy one, even though, for most of the selections, Valmar's text is also provided. The cantigas taken up - in order of presentation, but with Mettmann's numbering - are: CSM 50 (p. 8), 424 (p. 11), 417 (p. 17), 422 (p. 20), 426 (p. 25), 427 (p. 28), 1 (p. 35), 418 (p. 38), 419 (p. 44), 411 (p. 49), 425 (p. 58), 413 (p. 60), and 100 (p. 63). Pertinent musical remarks are made passim. See, for commentary, P. Bohigas, RFE 16 (1929): 25-6." |
