Narváez

Canción del Emperador

Taught by renowned guitarist 

José Antonio Escobar

Josquin des Prez's “Mille Regretz” is an iconic piece of music from the renaissance and was subject to many arrangements and intabulations. Though it can be disputed whether it was, in fact, Josquin des Prez who wrote this piece, many look to Luis de Narváez's intabulation, “La Canción del Emperador,” as a significant source attributing “Mille Regretz” to des Prez. In this lesson, José Antonio Escobar discusses, in-depth, “La Cancion del Emperador,” a substantial piece for the vihuela. With excellent guidance and knowledge about preparing and performing this piece, Escobar has provided tonebase with a beautiful score, highlighting the original melody and lyrics from the original chanson.
