". . . valuable . . . impressive . . ." -The Times Literary Supplement
"For anyone interested in Milan's music, this is an excellent source of information." -Renaissance Quarterly
Luis Milan (1536-1561) was a lutenist, singer, composer, and poet. His collection of lute tablatures, El Maestro, is the first book of instrumental music known to have been printed in Spain. Luis Gasser discusses Milan's attention to modality, his use of meter, and the ornamentation in his songs and fantasias.
The musical and literary works of Luis Milan reveal the performance practices and theoretical conventions of the early 16th century.
