Summary

Discusses and transcribes the Morales works in Silva. Suggests that Bermudo may not have based his comments on playing the vihuela on his knowledge of the instrument, but rather by an analysis of Valderráno’s book. This concords with Bermudo’s probably erroneous remark about Valderrábano’s employment.
• Quotes Bermudo on playing ‘en concierto’ with 2 or 3 vihuelas, or guitarra, bandurria and vihuela.
• Angles’ transcriptions of the Morales works omit much of Valderrábano’s musica ficta
• Valderrábano’s ficta conforms with the theory of the time. • Valderrábano uses little ornamentation
• Notas suprimidas: two reasons: (1) ‘por excusar golpes desabridos’ (2) ‘por quitar dificultad’
in some cases Valderrábano manipulates the voices, although perhaps he had access to different models. Changes notes to avoid chords in second inversion. [ie he understood chords]. Omits some octavess and passing notes for the sake of simplicity
• Notas añadidas: semibreves replaced by repeated minims, [lower] mordents; passing notes
Rey’ transcriptions include the added notes encircled to show clearly all changes
• The 7 Morales works are:
1 Nonne dissimulari
2 Et in spiritum from Missa Mille Regretz
3 Andreas Christi
4 Quanti mercenarii
5 Cum spiritu sanctu from Missa De beata Virgine
6 Jubilate Deo ominis terra
7 Agnus Dei from Missa Vulnerasti cor meum.
Nos 2 3 4 5 6 are for 2 vihuelas. full details in <Vihuela D-base>
