| Ajoutée par magataganm, 05 Fév 2020 Luis de Narváez (c. 1526 – 1549) was a Spanish composer and vihuelist. Highly regarded during his lifetime, Narváez is known today for Los seys libros del delphín, a collection of polyphonic music for the vihuela which includes the earliest known variation sets. He is also notable for being the earliest composer for vihuela to adapt the contemporary Italian style of lute music. The exact date or even year of Narváez's birth is unknown. He was born in Granada and the earliest surviving references to him indicate that as early as 1526 he was a member of the household of Francisco de los Cobos y Molina, a well-known and very successful patron of the arts who was the Secretary of State and commentator for the kingdom of Castile under Charles V. Narváez lived in Valladolid with his patron until the latter's death in 1547, although he was working for the Duke of Medina Sidonia between 1539 and 1540. It was during this period that the composer published Los seys librosdel delphín (Valladolid, 1538), a large collection of music. By 1548 Narváez was employed as musician of the royal chapel, where he also taught music to choristers. His colleagues there included the famous keyboard composer Antonio de Cabezón. Narváez and Cabezón were both employed as musicians for Felipe, Regent of Spain (later Philip II of Spain), and accompanied him on his many journeys. The last reference to Narváez is from one such journey: during the winter of 1549 he resided in the Low Countries. Narváez was very highly regarded during his lifetime, particularly for his vihuela playing; he was reported to be able to improvise four parts over another four at sight. His son Andrés also became an accomplished vihuelist. Narváez's most important surviving music is contained in Los seys libros del Delphin de música de cifras para tañer vihuela (Valladolid, 1538), a six-volume collection of music for vihuela. This piece was arranged in the sixteenth century for the vihuela, an ancestor of the guitar, tuned the same as the guitar except the third string is tuned to F♯ instead of G. His work is published in Los seys libros del Delphín (1538) and consists of a set of variations on a Spanish folk theme from the Biblioteca Nacional de España. There is some debate over whether the full composition consists of four or seven variations. The title of the work, Quatro diferencias sobre Guárdame las vacas, indicates it consists of four variations. Confusion arises because immediately following work in the original manuscript, Otras tres diferencias hechas por otra parte, is not listed on the title page or index. Instead, the title page refers to siete diferencias de guarda me las vacas. After the first four variations, the index refers to La primera diferencia de guarda me las vacas por otra parte. For a full discussion of the issue see “Luis Narváez, Guárdame las vacas, and the “otra parte””, Nelson Amos, GFA Soundboard, Vol. 27, No. 1(Summer 2000), pp. 21-25.

Although originally composed for vihuela, I created this Interpretation of the Diferencias sobre 'Guárdame las vacas' from "Los seys libros del Delphin de música de cifras para tañer vihuela" for Classical Guitar. | |||
