Comments:
Information kindly provided by Jon Stringer and also IUCAT. This
"Alia Música" should not be confused with the
other group under the direction of Miguel Sánchez.
Track # 3 was titled "launeddas" which is a mistake. Mr
Jon Stinger provided the following information:
«Apparently who ever put the liner notes together failed to
use the correct Cantiga song title but instead entitled it by the
instrument that the performer plays. Launeddas is instrument! I
quote from The Oxford Companion to Musical Instruments written and
edited by Anthony Baines (1992). "The "reedpipe of Sardina",
played mostly for round dances, and very likely a direct surviver
of a "divergent double-pipe" of Antiquity.»
