I thoroughly enjoyed this album, especially the title song. Cantiga is a wonderful band of musicians. I will be buying the rest of their works as soon as possible.

Cantiga's music is delightful, most of it makes your soul take wings and dance. It is music that makes you smile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Renaissance Jams
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2011
This is a great CD featuring Cantiga, a Texas Renaissance Festival mainstay for three decades. Cantiga is a small combo featuring professional East Texas musicians on harp, cello, flute, lute, and violin, (okay-fiddle) as well as several other guest artists who appear on their various recordings. Cantiga is a wonderful `blast from the past' as they perform ancient music such as jigs, plainsong, and other non-chartbusters from the renaissance period.

The group features top notch musicianship which includes significant soloing and improvisation from all members. The recordings are of the highest quality both in performance and fidelity. One can appreciate this recording if you are a classical music fan or even a jazz aficionado. Check out the tracks "Martha's Dragon" and "Skillywidden" as they are quite playful and "White Petticoat a la Turk" holds quite a surprise.
