Diego Pisador

Wikipedia: Diego Pisador (1509/10? - after 1557) was a Spanish vihuelist and composer of the Renaissance. In 1552, he published a book of works for vihuela titled Libro de música de vihuela, dedicated to Philip II of Spain. It is divided into 7 books and consists of 95 pieces, although if one considers, as Pisador did, each one of the parts of the compositions as a separate work, the book contains a total of 186 pieces.

As was common at the time, many of the works are transcriptions (or intabulations) for vihuela of works by other composers such as Juan Vásquez, Josquin des Prez, Adrian Willaert, Jean Mouton and Jacques Arcadelt.
