A, hermosa, Abrime, cara de rosa!Amor, virtud y nobles pensamientos
Bendito sea el dia, punto y ora
Con que la lavare
Del rosal sale la rosa
Dexa ya tu soledad
Gentil senora mia
Gracias al cielo doy
Hermosissima Maria
Morenica m'era yo
No pense qu'entre pastores
O dulce contemplacion!
Por mi vida, madre
Por una vez
Que razon podeys tener
Que sentis, coracon mio?
Quien amores tiene como duerme?
Serrana, donde dormistes?
Si n'os uviera mirado
Torna, Mingo, a namorarte!

Quink Vocal EnsembleAbout
Sacred music occupied an important role in 16th-century Spain, but there is much evidence that secular vocal polyphony held a place in society too. Such music is to be found in the little-known Juan Vázquez's Recopilación which dates from around 1560; as well as canciones and soneto-madrigals, the collection includes various villancicos - the main focus of this recording - then a popular style of song and which Vázquez clearly overhauled through replacing endless repetition with melodic and rhythmic variety.
That Vázquez's contribution to the genre was both popular and significant (he wrote over 90 in total, most of which were set to texts by leading Spanish poets of the day) is demonstrated by the many later arrangements of his villancicos for vocal soloists with vihuela accompaniment.
Performing these highly engaging, deftly written works are the Dutch vocal group Quink, founded in 1978 and ranking among the world's best a cappella ensembles. The recording, which can only serve to increase our appreciation for this largely-forgotten composer, underlines the group's astonishing variety of tonal colour.
