Jose Marin - Tonos (1619-1699 for Voice and Guitar)

We're sorry, this product is no longer available.

These fifty-one beautiful songs, with Spanish lyrics that are worthy of the music, make up one of the premier collections of the Spanish baroque period. While lyrics appear in Spanish only with no English translation, the original guitar tablature (which appears upside-down to today's readers) is retained and complemented by clear transcriptions of the melodies and guitar accompaniment in standard notation.

Copious historical and technical notes in Spanish and English accompany this important scholarly publication. Marin - court musician, composer, guitarist, singer, priest, thief, and alleged murderer -was tortured, defrocked and sentenced to ten years in the galleys. The sentence was commuted and after a brief period of imprisonment and years of wandering in exile, a "repentant" Marin was welcomed back to Madrid where he lived a model life.
