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.
