Hurtado de Xeres

Hurtado de Xeres (also spelled Xerés) is a late-fifteenth-century Iberian composer known today almost entirely through a small number of pieces preserved in the Cancionero de la Colombina (Seville, Biblioteca Capitular y Colombina, MS 7-1-28), a major manuscript witness for secular polyphony in Spain around the end of the fifteenth century. Within this source, two three-voice songs are explicitly attributed to him: No tenga nadie sperança (copied on ff. 53v–54v) and Con temor de la mudança (on ff. 55v–56v).
