Description
In this fascinating glimpse of the musical life at the court of Charles V, Andrew Lawrence-King and members of The Harp Consort recreate the intricate Spanish "art of improvisation" documented by Luis Venegas de Henestrosa (c. 1510--1570) in his Libro de cifra nueva (1557) — a sophisticated collection of Spanish romances, French chansons, popular dances and polyphonic fantasias, which Henestrosa transcribed for harp, keyboards, and vihuela.
