The alexandrine is one of the most used verse meters in Hispanic Medieval Lyrical Poetry. In this article we analyze the use of the alexandrine verse in the medieval lyric compilation ordered by Alfonso Xth, the Cantigas de Santa María. We are especially interested in the metric-strophic form, and in the content and melody of the CSM 420, a cantiga copied in one single Marian manuscript also known as the Musicians Codex (E). The poem was edited by Walter Mettman in six strophes of twelve verses. Mettman followed strictly the mise en page of E. We consider that his proposal can be revised under the lens of a coordinated philological and musicological approach in which we can subdivide its long stanzas in shorter quartets of alexandrine verses that relate to the biblical apocrypha. The interdisciplinary approach between Philology and Musicology also allowed us to account for the organization and characteristics of the melodic material of the cantiga in order to analyze its relationship with the formal structure. Consequently, we revisit its formal structure and propose a divisio based on the different topics that also relate to the melodic and formal structure of the cantiga.

Palabras clave : Cantigas de Santa María; Alexandrine verse; Cuaderna vía; Cantillation; Biblical apocripha.
