Contrafactum "O Virgo Splendens*" (Llibre Vermell)
* O Virgo is a 3 voiced Caça (caccia) contained in the Llibre Vermell. I "modulated" (i.e. changed the mode of the scale) from the original mode of D to G mode, thus turning the Dorian original into Lidian.

The Salterello, as the rest of instrumental dances contained in this mss, has irregular metric phrasing but it fits well together with the Cantiga creating polyrythmic textures and some beautiful dissonances.
