| Added by magataganm, 10 Dec 2020 Francisco Millan (? c.1500) A chaplain and singer in the court of Queen Isabella, Millan composed a number of songs all of which were secular in nature. Twenty four settings are contained in the collection in the "Musical songs of the palace." Most of the songs were arranged as villancicos and contend with the theme of courtly love often in hyperbolized manners. These love songs, often emoting melancholy, were arranged for a single singing voice with instrumental accompaniment. If they were scored for more than one voice, Millan's predominant practice was to set them for four voices. The `lower' voices move so much, in comparisn to other vocal works, that they were most probably written for instruments. Three songs, "Mios fueron mi coracon," "O dolce y triste memoria," and "Sy no piensas remediar," were all set for three voices. Millan primarily employed the Mixolydin mode with some of the cadences ending on C, E or F. Usually he employed duple meters but three villancicos change to triple meters in the two lower voices. Traditional ballads were arranged by Millan for four voices. Openings of brief imitations was the typical characteristic of Millan's compositions.

Although this piece was originally written for 3 Voices (SAB), I created this interpretation of the "O Dulce y Triste Memoria" (Bittersweet Memory) for String Trio (Violin, Viola & Cello). | |||
