In the year 711 Arab armies from North Africa crossed into the Iberian peninsula and in a few decades established there a new Islamic kingdom that included nearly all present-day Spain. Together with the Arabs came some 50,000 Jews, whose numbers increased during the course of the century. The opposition to foreign domination began to make itself felt from the thirteenth century, continuing until 1492 when Granada was taken, the last Moorish

kingdom, and the whole Iberian peninsula passed again under Christian suzerainty. In the almost eight preceding centuries there had been a mixture of the three groups of people, Arabs, Christians and Jews, with a consequent exchange of some cultural elements. In 1492 this stimulating process came to a sudden end. The fall of Granada was taken as a welcome Gason to exile the unconverted Tews, and, with the helv of the Inauisition. to im~ose Catholicism as a state religion.' ~ o i e critical auihors of thi period here &ell aware of the cultural loss and the spiritual impoverishment that Spain underwent through these events. The support for Columbus and the subsequent attempts to establish overseas the Catholic Vice-Regal dominion offered, it seemed, a more than welcome opportunity away from the particular problems of the country.

The end of the fifteenth century brought a definite change in art music. Before this the Spanish rulers had looked for musicians in France, Flanders or Italy, but the Catholic court, under Ferdinand and Isabella, whose marriage in 1462 had united the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile, with their accession to the throne in 1474, engaged only Spanish musicians for their orchestra. Above all it was Ferdinand who, after the death of Isabella in 1504, invited the best Castilian musicians to his court and founded the royal chapel, one of the largest in Europe, with 46 musicians. Through this development of awareness of their own culture a style developed different from the Franco-Flemish style of the early fifteenth century. This new style, strongly oriented towards folk- music and based on a simpler harmonic structure, brought in no way a simplification or descent into the banale, but rather an incomparable strength of feeling and expression. Counterpoint no longer held the main point of interest, but, instead, the sensitive expression of the text. Rather than looking back to original Christian Spain, here there are traces of that culture of which Spain wanted to be rid, that had made such a deep impression on the people, not only in music. The inner melancholy of the music, the rhythm, the form and the contents of many songs are evidence of the presence of Jews and Arabs.

Several so-called Calzcioneros serve us today as sources of the court repertoire, collections of songs, among which the most important is the Calzcio~zero de Palacio. This is found in the library of the Royal Palace in Madrid and originally included 551 compositions, of which, through the loss of 54 pages, 460 are preserved. The origin of this very substantial witness to the musical life of Spain falls in the last third of the fifteenth century and in the first third of the sixteenth. It is certain that this collection is not the work of one but rather of several scribes, who copied the notation very exactly, but made many mistakes and phonetic changes in the texts. In the original the songs are not given in score but are, as in the rest of Europe at this period, given in separate parts, with the text only underlying the discant. The Calzciolzero must certainly have served at the establishment of the Royal Chapel, although many poems stem from the entourage of the Duke of Alba.

The songs included are of many different kinds, love stories, political and historical narratives (among them ever again the theme of the capture of Granada), religious, knightly and pastoral subjects, light-hearted pieces and dance music. Castilian is by far the most frequent language, with a smaller quantity of texts in Italian, Portuguese and even Basque, as well as typical songs in a mixture of French, Italian and Castilian. The most frequent forms are those of the villa~zcico and the ronzance. The former has similarities with the Italian frottola and the Arab zejel, with its probable origin in the fourteenth century and continuing in use well into the sixteenth. It is a strophic form, which always begins with an introductory verse (esfribillo), continuing with an original strophe (copla) and ending with the vuelta. The ronzarlce, on the other hand, is in more general narrative style, dealing with stories of love or knighthood.

The compositional style of the songs is not unified and ranges from fugal writing to simple homophony and complete expression of the text, from the three-voice discant-tenor-contratenor technique of the fifteenth century to the six-voice polyphony of the sixteenth.

All in all the Caitciollero de Palncio shows the flowering of Spanish cultural life, made possible through a strengthened self-awareness and feeling of nationhood, developed through ever-growing trade contact with Flanders and overseas and characterized by simplicity, emotional depth and the interweaving of court art with the art of the people.

Ensemble Accentus The Ensemble Accentus was established in Vienna in 1988 and consists of

no more than thirteen singers and instrumentalists. The group is devoted particularly to the performance of early Spanish music, with special attention to the element of improvisation. The repertoire ranges from Sephardic Romances, through art-music and popular music of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries to the high polyphony of the latter. Ensemble Accentus has been active in the recording, broadcasting and television studios as well as in public concerts and festival appearances.

Levanta, Pascual -Levanta, Pascual, levanta, aballemos a Granada, que se suena qu'es tomada.

Levanta toste priado, toma tu perro y currbn, tu camarra y camarrbn, tus albogues y cayado. Vamos ver el gasajado d'aquella ciudad nombrada, que se suena qu'es tomada.

-iAsmo cuidas que te creo? ~JUIO a mi! que me chufeas Si M mucho lo desseas Soncas, yo mis lo desseo. Mas a la mie f6 no veo apero de tat majada. Que se suena qu'es tomada.

-Hora ipese a diez contigo! siempre piensas que te miento: Ahotas que me arrepiento porque a ti nada te digo! and'aci, vete comigo, note tardes mis tardada, que se suena qu'es tomada.

iQue consuelo y qu6 connorte ver por tortes y garitas alzar las cruzes benditas! iO qu6 plazer y deporte! Y entraba toda la corte a milagro ataviada. Que se suena qu'es tomada.

[81 Levanta, Pascual Up, Pascual, up, let us go to Granada, norv they say it is taken.

Up quickly, take your dog and pouch, your sheepskin jerkin and coat, your boots and shepherd's crook. Let us go to see the rejoicing of that famous city that they say is taken.

-Do you think I believe you? I swear it! You jest if you want it any less than I do. By my faith I see nothing more of this sheepfold, now they say it is taken.

-Now, you will be sorry! You a1rva)rs think I am lying: you suppose that I am sorry for telling you lies! go there, see it with me, do not delay more, for they say it is taken.

What comfort, what consolation to see on the torvers and turrets rise the blessed crosses! Oh what pleasure, what delight And I entered the whole courtyard rvo~lderfully decorated, for they say it is taken.

Por vencer con tal vitoria 10s reyes nuestros seiiores, demos gradas y loores a1 eterno Rey de Gloria, que jamis qued6 memoria de Reyes tan acabada: que se suena qu'es tomada.

Todos 10s bienes del mundo (instrumental)

To conquer with such a victory, our royal masters, we shall give thanks and praise to the eternal King of Glory, that the memory of this act of our kings remain praised for ever: for they say it is taken.

@j Malos adalides fueron They were bad leaders, the eyes that saw you, who entered a id greeted not that heart that welcomed. Your beauty captured me, your powet tookmy mind, robbed me of my will, with no delight more. Indeed, they were badly led that looked up, entered and greeted not the heart that welcomed

Todos 10s bienes del mundo (instrumental)

rn Durandarte -Durandarte, Durandarte, Buen caballero probado, Yo te ruego que hablemos En aquel tie~npo passado, Y dime si se te acuerda Cuando fuste enamorado, Cuando en galas 6 invenciones Publicabas tu cuidado, Cuando venciste 6 10s moros En campo por mi apluado: Agora desconoddo, Di, ipOr qud me has olvidado? -Palabras son lisonjeras, Sefiora, de vuestro grado; Que si yo m u d a m hice, Vos lo hab6s todo causado, Pues amastes d Gayferos Cuando yo fui desterrado; Que si amor querds comigo, Teneslo muy ma1 pensado; Que pot no sufrir ultraje Morird desesperado.

rn Durandarte - Durandarte, Dura~idarte, good, true knight, I beg you that we may talk of that time past and tell me if you remember when you were in love, when in finery and verses you made known your care, when you conquered the Moors in the field of battle to please me. Norv a stranger, say, rvhy have you forgotten me? -Words are flattering, Lady, of your degree; If I have changed, you have caused it all, since you loved Gayferos when I was away; if you want to love me you are wrong, so that to avoid more suffering I die in despair.

[iZl Fata la parte Tell it everywhere that the rvife of Monsieur Cotal is dead.

Because I found her with a Spaniard alone in the house, I killed her. He, though, escaped by chance and cunning. Tell it everywhere. . . He stopped, for I saw him -Oh Christ help me!, biting his finger, shouting out and rveeping: -Spaniard, see to yourself! Tell it everywhere.. . Take care if I catch you, Little Do11 Spaniard! Over my bed I will give you such a lesson, that the pages will weep to read it, if it is written.

Qu'es de ti, desconsolado iQu'es de ti, desconsolado? iQu'es de ti, rey de Granada? iQu'es de tu tierra y tus moros? iD6nde tienes tu morada? Reniega ya de Mahoma y de su seta malvada, que bivir en tal locwa es una burla burlada. Torna, tirmate, buen rey a nuestra ley consagrada, porque, si perdiste el reino, tengas el alma cobrada. De tales reyes vencida honra te deve ser dada. iO Granada noblecida, por todo el mundo nombrada! hasta aqui fueste cativa y agora ya libertada Perdiirte el rey don Rodrigo por su dicha desdichada, gan6te el rey don Fernando con ventura prosperada, la reina doiia Isabel, la m5s temida y amada: ella con sus oraciones, y 6l con mucha gente armada. S e g h Dios haze sus hechos la defensa era escusada, que donde el ponde su mano lo impossibiie es casi nada.

Danza alta (instrumental)

Qu'es de ti, desconsolada What is it with you, disconsolate man? What is is with you, Kine, of Granada? What is it with your landand your Moors? Where is your dwelling? Deny no~vMahomet and his wicked sect, for to live in such madness is a mockery. Turn, turn, good King to our sacred law, for, if you have lost your kingdom, you have saved your soul. Conquered by such kings, honour must be given you. Oh, noble Granada, famous through the whole world! Until norv you were captive and now you are set free. King Don Rodrigo lost you through his ill fortune, King Don Fernando won you with a successful venture, the Queen Doiia Isabella, most respected and loved; she by her prayers and he rvith his great army. Through God he did his deeds, the defence rvas beaten for where he raises his hand the impossible is as nothing.

The suggested translation is highly conjectural)

Ay triste, que vengo iAy triste, que vengo Vencido d'amor, Maguera pastor!

Mas sano me fuera No ir al mercado, Que no que viniera Tan aquerenciado; Que vengo cuitado, Vencido d'amor, Maguera pastor.
