He was of Jewish converso descent. See, Norman Roth, "Conversos, Inquisition, and the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain", Madison, WI: The University of Wisconsin Press, 1995, pp. 157, 176-178. After leaving the University of Salamanca sometime in the early 1490s he became a member of the household of Don Fadrique de Toledo, the second Duke of Alba.
In 1492 the poet entertained his patron with a dramatic piece, the Triunfo de la fama, written to commemorate the fall of Granada. In 1496 he published his Cancionero, a collection of dramatic and lyrical poems. Around 1500 he relocated to Rome, where he apparently served in the musical establishments of several cardinals or noblemen.
About 1518 Encina took holy orders, and made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where he said his first mass. Since 1509 he had held a lay canonry at Málaga; in 1519 he was appointed prior of León and is said to have died at Salamanca about 1533.
His Cancionero is preceded by a prose treatise (Arte de trobar) on the condition of the poetic art in Spain. His fourteen dramatic pieces mark the transition from the purely ecclesiastical to the secular stage. The Aucto del Repelón and the Égloga de Fileno dramatize the adventures of shepherds; the latter, like Pládcida y Vitoriano, is strongly influenced by the Celestina. The intrinsic interest of Encina's plays is slight, but they are important from the historical point of view, for the lay pieces form a new departure, and the devout eclogues prepare the way for the autos of the 17th century. Moreover, Encina's lyrical poems are remarkable for their intense sincerity and devout grace

Hace 16 años que escuché este cancionero en un pequeño spot publicitario del quincentenario del Quijote. Me enamoró en 20 segundos, pero en esa época no existía Youtube, y siempre me quedé con las ganas de saber qué título tenía.
El otro día me acordé del anuncio, resultó que alguien lo subió y de ahí, aquí.
Qué bonito es el interné.

Descubre el espíritu de Don Quijote. Así he llegado yo...

Qué belleza, esto lo escuché hace muchos años. Es a la vez tan triste y tan hermoso. Por el rey Boabdil. Muy histórica canción. Toda una lección aquí. Las lágrimas corren, igual que hace más de veinte años.

Triste? Si es pura comedia!
@luisvivanco6897
¿Pertenece a una comedia, es lo que quiere decir? @@Hugoaja
@Hugoaja
@@luisvivanco6897 No, solo pretendo decir que tiene un tono cómico más que triste. Es una canción que habla de cómo los españoles reconquistan Granada y como Boabdil se marcha de la ciudad.

Tantos recuerdos... lo cantaba en mis dos años de coro del conservatorio ademas de tener un padre fan de la musica medieval... que gran educación la que da la historia de la musica...realmente algo que no todo el mundo puede valorar! Maravilloso!!

Escuchando esta maravillosa composición me vienen a la mente los cantos de la Illiada en los que el poeta griego relata el sufrimiento de las madres y esposas troyanas que asisten con el corazón encogido a los combates que se libran al pie de las murallas donde mueren sus hijos y esposos. Reconocer en el enemigo a otro ser humano que también sufre al que hay que comparecer y consolar es lo que nos salva de la barbarie. "Buen rey... de tales reyes vencido honra te debe ser dada". Impresionantemente hermoso.

Yo vengo de un anuncio antiguo de que trata de Don quijote que lo veía por primera vez de niña, se me ocurrió escucharla completa para centrarme en los estudios y que pura coincidencia que sale imágenes de los temas de sociales que voy a dar en un examen de esta semana de los reyes católicos y el descubrimientos de América <3
