This is a typical Hispanic sheet music from the early 16th century. There were many sheet music dedicated to Virgin Mary, satirical and comical musics (“Cucu” ref. ACJ 690). However, melancholic songs like this one prevailed. The writing is strict, and the imitations are sung by the various voices. Each part expresses the nostalgia of these languid phrases. This song can be accompanied on flutes, viols and other instruments.
