Medieval dance and song: Stella Splendens

Описание: Stella Splendens is a song from the 14th Century Llibre Vermell, a book compiled to help pilgrims keep themselves appropriately entertained while they waited to visit the Black Madonna in Montserrat, Spain. It was considered appropriated for pilgrims to sing and dance, with decorum, in the church, so long as they did not disturb other worshippers.

This song and dance were recorded live during our performance of Echoes of Pilgrimage, 3rd December 2023, at Warrandyte Community Centre, Victoria, Australia.
'Echoes of Pilgrimage' was based around a historically informed fictional journal of a pilgrimage undertaken c.1520, from Canterbury in England to Rome in Italy, the Via Francigena, with additional visits to Walsingham (England) and Montserrat (Spain).
We performed song, music and dance associated with locations along the journey... with the occasional sprinkling of poetic licence.
The research and writing of the fictional pilgrim journal were undertaken by CAPV members Sally and David Ranson.
