'Con amores, la mi madre' is a Spanish Renaissance song composed by Juan de Anchieta. The song is believed to have been composed in the early 16th century, during the reign of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile. The song is a part of the Cancionero de Palacio, a collection of Spanish Renaissance music. The song is a villancico, a type of Spanish song that was popular during the Renaissance period. It is written in the Spanish language and is characterized by its simple melody and harmonies. The song is composed in a homophonic style, with all the voices singing the same melody at the same time. 'Con amores, la mi madre' is a three-movement song. The first movement is in a duple meter and is characterized by its lively and joyful melody. The second movement is in a triple meter and is more contemplative in nature. The third movement returns to the duple meter and is a reprise of the first movement. The song is known for its beautiful melody and its touching lyrics. The lyrics are a tribute to the composer's mother, expressing his love and gratitude for all that she has done for him. The song is also notable for its use of word painting, where the music reflects the meaning of the lyrics. For example, the joyful melody of the first movement reflects the happiness and love expressed in the lyrics. 'Con amores, la mi madre' has been performed and recorded by many artists over the years and remains a beloved piece of Spanish Renaissance music. Its simple yet beautiful melody and touching lyrics continue to resonate with audiences today.
