Cancioneiro de Paris
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cancioneiro de Paris (in English: Paris Songbook) is one of the four Renaissance songbooks of Portuguese music from the 16th century - along with the Lisbon Songbook, the Belém Songbook, and the Elvas songbook. It is one important source of secular music of the Iberian Renaissance and the largest one of Portuguese Renaissance music.
It contains 130 profane villancicos and cantigas. 55 works are polyphonic (2, 3 and 4 voices); the other 75 works have only their melody copied.
All works are anonymous, but it is known that some of them were composed by the Portuguese composer Pedro de Escobar.
