Traditional Catalan Songs for Voice, Lutes and Viol

A unique collection of songs from Catalonia, a Spanish region rich in culture and with a strong identity, its origins going back to the Middle Ages, a period in which troubadours sang of love, war, nature, honor and betrayal.

The program contains songs for voice and ensemble, as well as arrangements of popular melodies for a diversity of instruments from the time of origin.

Sung by Marta Garcia Cadena (soprano) and instrumentalist William Waters, playing baroque lute, lyra violin, bass violin, baroque guitar and renaissance lute.

The extensive booklet notes include the original song texts and their English translation, as well as a description of each individual song.
