Carmina Burana is a popular collection of goliardic songs of the wandering clerics. These students had acquired the status of clerics in order to attend the prestigious Universities risen in the XII century around the cathedrals all over Europe. They travel continuously to attend the lessons of the most prominent teachers, creating a sort of cosmopolitan community. Goliardic poetry produced by the low clergy seems to be less linked to the catholic ethic than to poetry of Arab descent or of extraction from the classical antiquities. Wine was praised and associated to earthly pleasures such as sex and play, depicts all of the effects which the magnificent beverage has on men and women in a crescendo of earthly delight. In Alte clamat Epicurus the great Greek philosopher is transformed into a minister of gluttony and revelry, a devotee of the Gut God. The chant In Taberna could be the manifesto of the goliardic vision of the world: life passed in promiscuous revelry divided among games, sex and wine. Procurans odium belongs to the moralizing poetical current of the clerici vagantes in which there is a wine-blood analogy where the grape harvest yields the blood of slanderous enemies. The goliardic repertoire was especially nurtured during the medieval “feast of fools”, which once a year was dedicated to subverting every rule and hierarchy and went to the extent of celebrating blasphemous masses. Vinum bonum belongs to this selection, which is a contrafactum of the Marian “Verbum bonum”, where laud of Mary is substituted with the exaltation of wine. The technique of contrafactum, the substitution of the text in a passage without modifying the music, the metrics or the structure of the rhymes and assonance, was also widely used by the troubadours, as well as the wandering clerics, and is a particularly refined technique which requires a closed community which knows the original and can therefore appreciate the artifice. The songs from Carmina Burana are also parodies of songs from the Ludus Danielis, from the crusade song Palastinalied by Walther von der Vogelweide and L'amours dont sui espris by Blondel de Nesle. The Cantigas de Santa Maria is a body of more than four hundred monodic songs collected on order of Alfonso X El Sabio, in mid 13" century Spain. Their intentions are celebrative-moralistic and they tell of the miracles done by Santa Maria to aid her followers and punish the sinners: Como Deus fez vynno and A que Deus relate of the miracle of the multiplication of the wine in various circumstances, while in Poder à Santa Maria, the Virgin protects one of her devotees’ vineyard from a hail storm. And lastly in Ben pod’as cousas, she makes a stain of red wine disappear from a white altar cloth. Still belonging to the same genre, but in Italian this time, is O Divina Virgo flore, which is part of the Laudario di Cortona, from the 13th. We have two troubador songs: Ges de disnar is by Bertrand de Born and the anonymous and ironic L'autre iér cuidéi aver druda. From the Roman de Fauvel comes the three voice polytextual motet Quand je le voi/Bon vin doi/Cis chans veult boire, in which each voice sings with different words a tribute to a cheerful party of drinkers. On parole/A Paris/Frese nouvelle is another motet from the XII cent. taken from the Montpellier Codex, a polyphonic monument of the 13th century Ars Antiqua. In it a tenor who imitates the street cries of a fruit vendor is overlaid by two vision of superior voices which describe the marvels of the city of Paris where it is possible to indulge in good friends, available damsels, good food and good “claret” wine. Deficiente vino is a chant that evokes the first miracle of Christ, the transformation of water to wine at the Cana’s wedding. Dixit Pater familias refers to the parable of the workers devotees and of the vineyard-church. Sacerdos in aeternum commemorates the institution of the Eucharist with the offering of bread and wine. Felix vitis is the mensural instrumental version of a responsory of the morning breviary, in which there is the exaltation of the image of Christ, Mystical Vine, source of the Celestial Wine, Beverage at Life.
