CSM Cantiga 100 Lyrics: Santa María, Strela do día Cantiga 100Mettmann does not split the longer lines in this cantiga into hemistichs, but given that there are very clear internal rhymes throughout, this seems rather at odds with his usual policy. I've added them here as I think they're very useful to the performer.

Footnotes

Mettmann does not split the longer lines in this cantiga into hemistichs, but given that there are very clear internal rhymes throughout, this seems rather at odds with his usual policy. I've added them here as I think they're very useful to the performer.

Line 21:

Links to the Oxford database are provided with the kind permission of the project team. When planning a concert or recording, I would recommend that you use (and credit) my more pragmatic texts and supporting materials in the preparation of your performance, but that you request permission from the Oxford database team to reproduce (and credit) their own critically edited texts in your programme or liner notes, as these adhere to stricter criteria that keep them closer to the original sources, and undoubtedly have the greater academic authority.

Average syllables / min. Time
Very slow505:14
Slow1002:37
Medium1501:44
Fast2001:18
Very fast2501:02

These are very approximate total times for a full sung (or spoken) performance of all stanzas with all repeats of the refrain. Note that the speed is in average syllables per minute, and no particular mensural interpretation is assumed. More ornamented music will reduce the syllabic speed considerably. Remember also to add time for instrumental preludes, interludes and postludes.
