Commentary

Intabulation of a 4-voice villancico by Navarro. This work is more in the style of the Villanescas than the preceding 3-voice villancicos which are composed in a simpler and perhaps older style. The source of the villancico is unknown. The tiple voice is conserved in a MS 681 in the Museo Lázaro Galdano. Two settings of the same text by Juan Vásquez are included in his “Recopilación” of 1560: No 12, pp. 67-71, five voices, and No 25, pp. 187-189, four voices. Both of these works begin with the same initial theme as the Daza version and suggest that they might all derive from a popular tune. The texts of the vuelta, however, are completely different. There is also a surviving organ continuo part of the five-voice mass by Juan del Vado (1625-1690) “Missa Que razón podeys vos tener” in E-Mn MS 1325, fol 79ff with the organ continuo in E-Mn 1324, fols. 12-14,
