La Tramontana ∾ Murmur Mori ‹music on medieval portative organ›

From the album Canzoneta, va! (Jongleurs and Troubadours between Italy and Provence): La Tramontana Instrumental Recorded at Morimondo Abbey NovAntiqua Records http://murmurmori.com 🌹 “La Tramontana”, the cold north wind blowing from the heart of the Alps, the “wind beyond the mountains” that in medieval centuries was used to calculate the courses towards Genoa, where many troubadours and trobairitz stayed. "La Tramontana" is mentioned in Sordel's poem “Aitant ses plus viu hom quan viu jauzens” to describe the virtues of his woman, so many that she is a guide to other women like the north wind guides the ship at sea. The woman to whom Sordel dedicates the poem is probably Guida di Rodez, therefore it is full of wordplays on the theme of “guiding”. • Buy this album and support 𝐌𝐮𝐫𝐦𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐢: https://www.novantiqua.net/prodotto/C... https://murmurmori.com/shop/ • #murmurmori #medievalmusic #earlymusic #musicamedievale #italianmusic #portativeorgan #medieval #organ #instrumentalmusic #medioevo #organoportativo #medievalarchitecture #medievalart
