Commentary
This is a highly individual, sophisticated setting of Guárdame las vacas. I have suggested here that it should be for a vihuela in A in order to give it its original mode. Pujol’s edition transcribes it for a vihuela in E, a fourth lower. This is also a satisfactory solution. The set is very cleverly welded together so that there is musical continuity between one variation and the next. Concerning Guárdame las vacas as a ground, see the commentary for na032
