A Medieval Melting Pot
For seven centuries, medieval Spain had a unique intersection of cultures.
Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions coexisted in an environment
that nurtured special developments in music of its regions. On Harmonia
this week we'll listen to music inspired by the Sephardim, Ziriyâb,
and Alfonso X. We'll also listen to a new release of music by Alonso
Lobo.
