This piece comes from the Libro primero, Orphenica lyra, printed in Seville, 1554 by Miguel de Fuenllana b Navalcarnero, Madrid; fl 1553-78). Spanish court vihuelist and composer. He was blind from birth. The earliest evidence of him is the printing licence for Orphenica lyra. Divided by genre into six books, Orphenica lyra contains 160 works for six-course vihuela, nine for five-course vihuela, and another nine for four-course guitar. Fuenllana offers concise information on performing practice, including detailed descriptions of various aspects of instrumental technique, particularly plucking techniques.

Miguel de Fuenllana wrote music exclusively for the vihuela, a sixteenth century Spanish precursor to the guitar. His body of work probably constitutes the most important for this instrument from his time. Relatively little is known about Fuenllanas life, especially his early years. He was born in the Spanish town of Navalcarnero, near Madrid, probably in the period of 1525-1535. Blind from birth, he apparently focused on music study from his childhood and became a virtuoso vihuelist almost certainly before adulthood. His magnum opus, Orphenica lyra, was finished or nearly finished by 1553, the year he was granted a license to print this collection of 160 pieces. The order for issuing the license was granted by Prince Philip, soon to be King of Spain (Philip II). His action suggests Fuenllana had made connections with the Valladolid Court, perhaps having performed at royal events. Published in 1554, Orphenica lyra contained mostly transcriptions of other composers works. Still, Fuenllana included a substantial body of his own compositions in the collection -- 51 fantasias, eight tientos, and a handful of other works. By 1555, Fuenllana was living in Seville as a member of the retinue of the Marquesa de Tarifa, whom he would serve about four years. In 1560 he was taken into the service of Isabel de Valois, crowned that year the new Queen of Spain, having married King Philip II the previous year by proxy. Fuenllana would remain in this post until 1569, the year after ...

Two arrangements by Miguel de Fuenllana, the Spanish Renaissance vihuelista. He wrote and arranged many beautiful - and difficult! - pieces. The vihuela was the Spanish Renaissance guitar. This is one of my current dark-period videos...seems to suit the music. Sorry if you find it frustratingly dark :-)

Una de las características de la noche de Mayos en VIllanueva de los Infantes es la variedad y el alto número de rondallas que salen a cantar. Ya en 1952 A. Lomax contabilizó alrededor de la treintena y hoy en día sigue destacando tanto la cantidad como la calidad de algunas de ellas. Pero junto a estas rondallas que tienen un alto nivel interpretativo existen otras muchas (como la que se puede ver en el video) en las que sus componentes, sin grandes cualidades musicales ni pretensiones artísticas, con orgullo llevan los Mayos a todos los rincones del pueblo y mantienen viva la tradición, que al fin y al cabo es lo más importante.
