Description:
From the 15th to the 16th century… This was not only the heyday of the Flemish School of music, but also a time when the Habsburg-Spanish royal family, having brought the region of Flanders under its control, was building a global empire with unstoppable momentum. Through the Flemish Choir established by Emperor Charles V (King Carlos I of Spain) at the royal court, the Spanish royal family continued to enjoy an environment more conducive than any other to the flourishing of sophisticated polyphonic music. It was the vihuela—which, while resembling a guitar in shape, could also perform intricate polyphonic music like a lute—that garnered attention as a bridge to Iberia’s long-standing traditions. With just two players, it could perform polyphonic music consisting of four to five voices, and its delicate and diverse tonal expression made it an excellent accompaniment to the human voice. The two of them—Europe’s finest plucked-string instrumentalists today and the legendary singer Keel—are the ones who can bring out these qualities to the fullest! Although music for the vihuela was widely used, very few collections of compositions have survived. It is precisely because they have mastered the techniques for expressing the polyphonic music of the Flemish school on the vihuela that they are able to recreate performances faithful to the conditions of that era. Also worth noting is the breadth of the repertoire, which is characteristic of the era following the Age of Discovery, when southern Italy became part of the Spanish empire. Both the vihuela duets and the tracks featuring vocals are packed with highlights; the Japanese edition includes detailed commentary and Japanese translations of the lyrics—a hallmark of Arcana.
