Badajoz
Badajóz el musico has 8 pieces in the Cancionero de Palacio (all on unrequited love), and 2 in a Petrucci publication of 1516. He may have spent time in Italy, but in 1521 Badajos is listed as musician (instrumentalist) to John III of Portugal.
O desdichado de mi
This soulful villancico for men’s voices a3 is #49 of the 468 pieces in the Cancionero de Palacio, thus likely to be an early work. The edition is from the Monumentos transcription by Angles.
Badajoz: O desdichado
Woe is me! for whoever sees your
beauty has
no hope of freedom from that bondage.
I weep for my freedom . . . I am
condemned to death.
I weep at my fate, knowing that you
forget me
. . . Or detest me. To see your beauty
Is to be captivated and willingly
vanquished.
