"Los set gotxs" is a collection of seven songs that were composed by an anonymous composer from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat. The Llibre Vermell de Montserrat is a medieval manuscript that was created in the 14th century in the Montserrat Monastery in Catalonia, Spain. The manuscript contains a collection of songs and hymns that were popular among pilgrims who visited the monastery. The exact date of composition of "Los set gotxs" is unknown, but it is believed to have been composed in the 14th century. The songs were likely composed for pilgrims who visited the monastery and were intended to be sung during religious ceremonies. The premiere of "Los set gotxs" is also unknown, but it is likely that the songs were first performed in the Montserrat Monastery. The songs were later copied into the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat, which was created in the 14th century. The seven movements of "Los set gotxs" are: 1. "O Virgo splendens" - This song is a hymn to the Virgin Mary and is sung in praise of her beauty and purity. 2. "Stella splendens" - This song is a hymn to the star that guided the Magi to Bethlehem. It is sung in praise of the star's brightness and its role in leading the Magi to the Christ child. 3. "Cuncti simus concanentes" - This song is a hymn to the Virgin Mary and is sung in praise of her role as the mother of Christ. 4. "Polorum regina" - This song is a hymn to the Virgin Mary and is sung in praise of her role as the queen of heaven. 5. "Splendens ceptigera" - This song is a hymn to the Virgin Mary and is sung in praise of her role as the mother of Christ. 6. "Los set gotxs" - This song is a hymn to the seven sorrows of the Virgin Mary. The seven sorrows are: the prophecy of Simeon, the flight into Egypt, the loss of the child Jesus in the temple, the meeting of Jesus and Mary on the way to Calvary, the crucifixion of Jesus, the taking down of Jesus from the cross, and the burial of Jesus. 7. "Polorum regina" - This song is a repeat of the fourth movement. The characteristics of "Los set gotxs" are typical of medieval music. The songs are written in Latin and are sung in a monophonic style, meaning that there is only one melody line. The songs are also characterized by their use of plainchant, which is a type of medieval music that is characterized by its simple, unaccompanied melody. The songs are also notable for their use of repetition, which was a common feature of medieval music.
