This easy-to-read modern tablature should be completely faithful to Alonso Mudarra's original tablature. Let me know of any errors you find. Donald Sauter.

Back to the main page for Alonso Mudarra, with an index to his works for the vihuela and for guitar.
When you need a break from the guitar, please consider my page of Scrabble II for word lovers!

Short ID:  AM32.
Title:     Fantasia (tercero tono).
Composer:  Alonso Mudarra.
Source:    Tres Libros de Musica en Cifras para Vihuela...  
           Libro II, folio VIII.
Date:      1546.
Facsimile: Chanterelle, p89.

Tuning:    Vihuela tuning.
Time sig:  Moderato. ("C" on Mudarra's 1st line. See general Mudarra comments.)  

Fixes and modifications (M=measure r=rhythm s=string):
  All rhythm values have been halved.
  M3r2 original half-note symbol was missing dot.
  M79r3s4 original showed fret 1. Changed to 2 here.

Tablature elements to be added by hand:
  Let ring as long as possible (see general Mudarra comments): M82r2.
  Fermata on very last chord.

Suggested simplifications (if need be): 
    _______________________
    |_5______5_|__________|
    |_5______5_|_5______5_|
    |_6_ to ___|_6_ to ___|
    |__________|_5______5_|
    |_3______3_|_3______3_|
    |__________|__________|

  There are several spots where substituting open string 2 for s3 fret 5 
  makes things much easier. (There might be good reasons for not doing so, 
  however.)

Leading measures in Mudarra's original tablature:
  1 15 27 41 54 66 77 90 100 109. Last measure is 109.
