Sara Stowe and Matthew Spring explore the ‘Golden Age’ of Spanish composers, among them Alonso Mudarra, Antonio de Cabezón, Luis de Nárvaez and Luis Milan. Mudarra, a virtuoso vihuelist wrote Tres libros (1546) while he was serving the Duque del infantando and published it in his hometown of Seville. Cabezón was taken into the service of Charles V and Isabella of Portugal and became one of the greatest keyboard players of the age. Narváez and Milan, produced outstanding books of courtly songs and serious solos for the vihuela. This concert ends with the more popular secular songs (“tonos humanos”) of José Marín (ca. 1619–1699), a guitarist and harpist.
