Before written chronicles existed, history was passed on orally, history by word of mouth or history through song. These sources are essential for our knowledge of the past. There are feelings, emotions and attitudes that can be understood better, and recovered better, through non-written sources, through songs and images of the past. Music, painting and miniatures, are more than just an artistic expression, they are a way of telling us something, as well as moving us with their beauty. Those who sang women’s songs and painted their images understood the power of women’s language.When we look at the miniatures or listen to the songs medieval women sang we should immerse ourselves in the time when they were created. However many times we look or listen, we will always see and hear something new and different. The work of Gothic artists included their own real world, the world that surrounded them, representing the daily life of their characters.This selection of songs, sung by female vocalists, explores the value of expressive qualities, helping us to participate in the history of the medieval woman. The effort made will help us to understand a portion of our own history. We present a balanced selection of songs, alternating between the Christian, Muslim and Jewish cultures in Medieval Spain.
