Stella Splendens

Polka · 2/4 · G major

Stella Splendens is a well-known medieval pilgrim song originating from the late fourteenth-century Spanish manuscript known as the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat. Although its composer remains anonymous, the piece is traditionally associated with the veneration of the Virgin Mary at the mountain sanctuary of Montserrat. In this 2/4 setting as a polka in G major, the melody maintains a lively yet reverent character well-suited for spirited traditional instrumental performance.
