Background: This album by Montserrat Figueras, Lux Feminae is all about the essence of the feminine. The words and music, spanning from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, focus on the central role of woman in Hispanic culture, whether Christian, Jewish or Muslim, illustrating the rich, profound and multi-faceted myth of the universal feminine.

As authors, the source of inspiration or dedicatees, women have enriched a musical heritage which ranges from the traditional Song of the Sybil; the Hispano-Arabic jarchas; the Galician-Portuguese Cantigas de Amigo expressing a woman's longing for her beloved; to the mystical poems written by Saint Teresa of Jesus: popular lullabies, passionate devotional saetas sung during Holy Week and Sephardic Jewish ballads.
