Biography
Aranda was a Spanish theorist. He studied music theory with Pedro Ciruelo at the University of Alcalá de Henares sometime before 1524; later he went to Italy for practical instruction. By 3 April 1528 he was mestre de capela at Évora Cathedral in Portugal, a post which he held until 26 August 1544, when he was appointed professor of music at Coimbra University. During most of this period the Portuguese court resided in Évora rather than in Lisbon, and Aranda earned praise from the administrator of the see, Cardinal Dom Afonso. At Coimbra, however, the native Portuguese professors proved so resentful towards the foreigner that according to a colleague, Juan Fernández, Aranda died of ‘pure vexation’. His body was carried back to Évora for burial on 2 June 1549.
The examples of species counterpoint in his second treatise were the first polyphony published in Portugal. A few surviving compositions are attributable to Aranda: the four-voice setting of the tract Adjuva nos Deus and two mass fragments, Et incarnatus and Et vitam.
