Abstract

The medieval music is a mystery. The one whose legacy comes from the 12th century until today is only preserved in muted manuscripts that require a hypothetical reinterpret of how world might sound. However, thanks to the architectural art of some temples as well as the few specimens preserved from this Romanesque period, the Music Archaeology has been able to recreate its physiognomy and probable sonority. In a testimonial way, these same instruments present diverse origins as they offer us a historical and religious ideal of a society where the art of war coexisted with Art (in capital letters). The transmission and exchange of culture has been stamped precisely in the sculptural representations of these temples, probably as a Christian critique of immoral activities, and the province of San Esteban de Gormaz gives us a sample of all this.
