About Love and Fervour. Music, Piety and Court in the Late Middle Ages Kingdoms of Hispania

Abstract

With the aim of investigate the causes to understand the effects, at least as a premise, this paper presents some short reflections on what parameters are more or less constant in the musical repertoire of medieval Hispanic kingdoms. Thus, love (also the fervour) is taken as authentic driving force and guide of creativity, with special emphasis since the twelfth century. Some significant and paradigmatic examples are taken to show some ways and contexts in which this occurs.
