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

Triste España sin ventura.
todos te deben llorar.
Despoblada d'alegría,
para nunca en ti tornar.
Tormentas, penas, dolores,
te vinieron a poblar.
Sembrote Dios de placer
porque naciese pesar.
Hizote de mas dichosa
para mas te lastimar.
Tus victorias y triunfos
ha se hovieron de pagar.
Pues que tal pérdida pierdes,
dime en qué podrás ganar,
pierdes la luz de tu gloria
y el gozo te gozar.
Pierdes toda tu esperanza.
no te queda que esperar,
pierdes Pritan alto
hijo de Reyes sin par.
Llora, llora, pues perdiste
quien te había de ensalçar.
En su tierna juventud
te lo quiso Dios llevar.
Llevote todo tu bien,
dexote su desear,
porque mueras, porque penes,
sin dar fin a tu penar.
De tan penosa tristura
no te esperes consolar.

Sad, joyless Spain,
everyone should weep for you.
Barren, devoid of happiness
that shall never return.Storms, sorrows, pains
came and took residence in you.
God sowed pleasures in you
so pains would grow.He made you happier
so as to better hurt you.
Your victories and achievements
you had to pay dearly.Since you keep sustaining such losses,
tell me, what should you ever win?
you lose the light of your glory
and the joy of being joyful.You lose all your hope,
and are left with nothing to hope for,
you lose Pritan, up high,
the son of peerless kings.Cry, cry, for you lost
he who was to sing your praises.
In his tender youth
God saw fit to take him.He took all good away from you,
and left you with his longing,
so you could die, so you could pine,
with no end to your grieving.Of such a pitiful sadness
hope not to ever gain relief.

Esta música si que cumple lo que promete. Transmite una tristeza como pocas canciones que conozco. Lo que me más me asombra es que aún sintiendo las penas del autor, uno no puede dejar de asombrarse ante una pieza tan magnífica.
@javasolano
La belleza de España se refleja en todo su esplendor en esta pieza sublime de del Encina. Cualquier arte al que nos acerquemos, ahí estará nuestra nación con nuestra historia ,imprescindibles para entender una época de descubrimientos y creaciones.

Hermosa la Madre Patria con o sin ventura. Juan del Encina un genio y su música va a seguir elogiándola por milenios.
@davidolmos3247
A ver patriotilla de los cojones, éste es el nivel cultural de los que pusieron banda sonora a los momentos medievalez y escabrosos, fíjate más en lo que te ofrece esta maravillosa obra y deja de hacerte pajas con la bandera

Sin duda Juan de la Encina fue uno de los compositores más importantes del renacimiento europeo.
@pedrincalentino6063
Ayer celebramos en Salamanca "El lunes de aguas" y es inevitable, recordar al Príncipe D. Juan y la pérdida que supuso su prematura muerte. Por ello escuchamos esta hermosa, y triste melodía

Que agrado encontrarse con estos videos musical de este gran autor renacentista y lo mismo los interpretes, me llena de paz y serenidad en esta tarde de invierno.
Un gran saludo de Stgo.de Chile

El repertorio musical del Siglo de Oro español es excelente. Sin duda alguna, el mejor período de la música española. Gracias a J. Savall por difundirlo. Oyendo este romance de Juan del Encina, y más aún en esta versión magistral, se le pone a uno un nudo en la garganta. Me sucede lo mismo con la sección procesional de la "Música para el funeral de la Reina María" de Henry Purcell, compuesta dos siglos después, y que tampoco me canso de escuchar.
