I fell in love with the sound of Medieval music in 1979 when I toured Spain for three months, performing 12-16th centruy music in 800 year old cathedrals in Catalunya. This Medieval suite for guitar is the result of much love and adoration of the pure melodies and harmonies of that period: five original pieces with two arrangements of authentic medieval music, Imperayritz from the Llibre Vermell and a Cantiga de Santa Maria.
The first movement, Montserrat, was featured in the Issue #58 [July 2005] of Fingerstyle magazine.
