| 23 | E querede que vos veja alí †CSM 402:23If the music from another cantiga is used (see the main note above), then this two-line finda should be sung to the music for the refrain. | 10 A | |

Footnotes
There is no epigraph for this cantiga in [E], and no index entry there from which text could be taken. Neither is there any music, and the cantiga does not appear in any other manuscript, so a simple spoken recitation is a good option for performance. Another would be to use the music from a different cantiga with the same metre, for example CSM 22, 44, 58.
| Line 23: | If the music from another cantiga is used (see the main note above), then this two-line finda should be sung to the music for the refrain. |

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.

Estimated performance times
| Average syllables / min. | Time | |
|---|---|---|
| Very slow | 50 | 6:47 |
| Slow | 100 | 3:23 |
| Medium | 150 | 2:15 |
| Fast | 200 | 1:42 |
| Very fast | 250 | 1:21 |
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.
Total syllables: 340
