Valderrábano’s harmonisation of the estribillo (refrain) of a popular villancico of the time. The music is very brief. Pujol transcribes the piece for a vihuela in G, but it is more appropriately transcribed for a vihuela in D. Francisco Salinas gives the melody in De musica libri septem (salinas1577, libro vi, pág. 33). Gómez, Uppsala, (gomezUP, 123) suggests that this is related to the melody of Uppsala no 44, “Yo me soy la morenica”.
¿Dónde son estas serranas?
Del Pinar de Avila son.
From where are these mountain girls
They are from the pine forest of Avila
