This popular villancico text was also set by vihuelists Narváez (na029), Valderrabano (va042) and Fuenllana (fu143). There is also a version that shares quite a bit in common in Villancicos de diversos autores version (uppsala1556, no 29). Pisador’s version is not the same as the other versions of the vihuelists, but clearly using themes closely related to the Fuenllana version attributed to Vásquez.

Based on the inpublished comparison made by Gracia Gil (e-mail communicated by 2/9/2012) the known settings appears to use a commonly known melody that was used by Carreira (Coimbra), Narváez, Pisador. Fuenllana, the anonymous setting in the Cancionero de Uppsala, and Vásquez, Recopilación. The melody in the Valderrábano setting is the only one that does not conform.
