I Look Up to the Sky by Samuel ibn Naghrillah.
A muwashshah poem written in the 11th century, a time in Iberia when learning together was the focus, not the exception.
We interrogate perception, rewarded with shattered pieces as context. No one gets them all. Even when it's pieces of ourselves.

Gasping with delight of forgotten faith,
Aminah holds her qanbus with eager hands,
tunes and strums each thin string in harmony
with ancient passion of her desert heart,
then plays sweet heart-enchanting muwashshah
while singing lament of her long lost love.

Fellow Iberianists/medievalists: do you know of any recorded performance of a muwashshah *with a Romance kharja* I could listen to with students in class or are these confined to the realm of philological editions and debates?
