Cantiga
A
cantiga
(
cantica
,
cantar
) is a
medieval
monophonic
song
, characteristic of the
Galician-Portuguese lyric
. Over 400 extant
cantigas
come from the
Cantigas de Santa Maria
, narrative songs about miracles or hymns in praise of the Holy Virgin. There are near 1700 secular
cantigas
but music has only survived for a very few: six
cantigas de amigo
by
Martín Codax
and seven
cantigas de amor
by
Denis of Portugal
.
