El Parnasso: the music of Estevan Daça

The vihuela, a somewhat mysterious instrument from the Iberian Peninsula that replaced the lute in Spain and Portugal, was the means of realizing the highest instrumental art of this region in the 16th century. This concert presents the works of Spanish composer and vihuelista Estevan Daça from his only musical publication, El parnasso (1576), containing works for solo vihuela and for vihuela and voice, alongside pieces by his contemporaries.
