The Renaissance Vihuela & Guitar in Sixteenth-Century Spain

This 188-page anthology is designed as a companion volume to The Baroque Guitar in Spain and the New World (MB21122) and includes representative selections from the seven books for vihuela that were published in Spain between 1536 and 1576. As well as being fun and entertaining music for all to enjoy, these collections are intended to help bridge the gap between scholarly editions and performance editions by providing a hands-on introduction to tablature transcription and to issues concerning historically informed performance on the modern guitar.
