Juan del Encina (1468-1530) was widely regarded as the greatest Spanish composer of songs during his lifetime. He also was the main pioneer for theatrical performance in Spain, and uncharacteristically left no liturgical music. The other composers in this anthology show the development of these forms into the beginning of the baroque period.
