Video Description:

The organetto is a type of portable organ very popular in the Middle Ages. It is similar to a small organ, but its sound is produced by using a manual bellows system, rather than relying on an external air source.

This concert contextualizes the life of Marguerite Porete (1250-1310) with works by composers such as Guillaume de Machaut and other anonymous from the Codices of Madrid or Las Huelgas, among others.
