Published by Mel Bay, this excellent edition presents a selection of pieces from Alonso Mudarra’s "Tres Libros de Música en Cifras para Vihuela" (1546), considered the oldest surviving music written specifically for the four-course guitar. Transcribed and edited for the modern guitar by Eric Waters, the collection includes gems of the Spanish Renaissance such as fantasias, pavanas, and villancicos. This work is of incalculable historical value, ideal for guitarists wishing to explore the origins of the instrument and Renaissance polyphony, featuring a clear edition that includes an audio CD for reference.
