The vihuela was a typical instrument of the Spanish musical landscape of the 16th century, and its six doubled courses make it close to the modern guitar. Among the composers that wrote for this instrument, the works of the Spanish priest Alonso Mudarra are the ones that stood the test of time, and he even composed for the first version of the guitar that appeared at the time. His Fantasia 10 is a true Renaissance classic that has been recorded and performed countless times.
