About Juan Palomares
Juan (de) Palomares (Seville, c. 1585 - Madrid, c . 1640) was a Spanish guitarist and composer. He collaborated with the great playwrights of his time and made music for some lyrical passages from La Dorotea and letrillas from Lope de Vega (1633). His compositions and songs, called tones in the language of the time, have been found in the Cancionero de Turin, composed of a total of 46 works, the majority anonymous, written in two and three voices (only one is to four); two of the pieces are by Palomares ("En el campo florido" and "Sobre moradas violetas"). Also in the Cancionero de la Sablonara (Munich , Biblioteca Estatal de Baviera; ed. By Jesús Aroca , Madrid, 1916) and in Castilian tones, collection in the Library of the Dukes of Medinaceli. In that of Turin and in that of La Sablonara there is a common piece, "Sobre moradas violetas", whose lyrics correspond to Catalina Zamudio. Lope de Vega was a friend of his, as he praises him in La Dorotea (V, 9): The verses, Celia, me and the tone that excellent musician Juan de Palomares, a distinguished competitor of the famous Juan Blas de Castro, who divided the lyre between them, referee Apollo . So Juan de Palomares and Juan Blas de Castro were considered in 1633 the most famous composers of tones of the time; Lope dedicates an epitaph to Palomares in two rounds from the second part of the Rimas (1604), so he must have already been dead on that date, even though some may extend his life until 1640; It should not be forgotten that La Dorotea narrates events from Lope's youth and is also considered deceased in the lopesca comedy of La bella malmaridada, which is dated 1596 and was printed in 1610. Both authors also praise Lope in La Filomena, and there are references to both composers in the conquered Jerusalem, where it is said that Palomares died very young; in El acero de Madrid he only talks about Blas de Castro, who must have long survived Palomares and replaced him in the work of playing tones and lyrics by Lope and composing incidental music for his comedies.
