Description
Luis Milán on Sixteenth-Century Performance Practice
by Luis Gásser
Foreword by George Houle
Luis Milán (1536-1561) was a lutenist, singer, composer, and poet. His collection of lute tablatures, El Maestro, is the first book of instrumental music known to have been printed in Spain. Luis Gásser discusses Milán’s attention to modality, his use of meter, and the ornamentation in his songs and fantasías.
LUIS GÁSSER, Professor at the University of Barcelona, holds degrees from Barcelona Conservatory, Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, and Stanford University. Like his subject, he is active as a composer, writer and performer on guitar and lute.
