about
Luis de Milán (1500 - 1561), also known as Lluís del Milà, Lluís Milà, Luys Milán, Luis Milán, or Luys de Milán, was a composer and Spanish guitarist of the Renaissance. He is known as the first composer of published music for the vihuela, an instrument similar to the guitar, and one of the first to give instructions on marking time in music. Milán was born in, and probably spent most of his life in, Valencia, although this isn't counted as absolute information. His family was of aristocratic origin. His parents were Luys de Milán and Violante Eixarch. Milán traveled to Portugal, where he lived in the court of Juan III, to whom he dedicated his book El Maestro. Some sources seem to indicate that he also traveled to Italy. Without doubt, the musical center that monopolized the musical activities of Milán was Valencia, principally in the viceregal court of Fernando de Aragón, Duke of Calabria and Germanic of Foix, where he was until 1538. Milán published three works during the length of his life, each in Valencia. Of these, only the second contained music: Libro de Motes de damas y cavalleros, intitulado El juego de mandar, in 1535 El Maestro El Cortesano (The Court), in 1561. Inspired by the work of the same name from Baltasar de Castiglione. He contributed valuable details on the daily life in the court of Valencia and on his own musical practice. El Maestro is a book of music for vihuela published in Valencia, in 1536. It's complete name is Libro de música de vihuela de
