Program 7 - Proposal
The "Port 714" Manuscript - Songs of the European Courts in Century XV
The Port 714 manuscript filled on the Municipal Public Library of Porto is one of the most important musical sources of the XV century.
In this concert proposal, all the polyphonic songs copied in the second section of the book, including some never before interpreted in modern times, may be interpreted for the first time.
In an instrumental version, we will listen to other contemporary polyphonic pieces from France, Naples or even from the German area, including a song whose title - "Portugaler" - indicates a relationship that remains to be clarified with Portuguese characters.
