Lucas Fernández (musician)
Lucas Fernández (c. 1474 – 1542) was a Spanish dramatist and musician, writer in Leonese language.
He was born and educated at Salamanca, and was a professor of music there from 1522.
The surviving work of Lucas Fernández consists of six plays. Although showing the influence of his rival Juan del Encina, they are notable for their dialogue, humor, and the effective interleaving of song and music with the action of play. The best of the works is an Easter play Auto de la Pasión, while his Dialogo para cantar is an early example of the zarzuela.
Leonesisms
Lucas Fernández wrote with a great influence of Leonese language,[1] like na (feminine for "in the"), nel (masculine for "in the"), dexay (let), diz (says), quier (wants), sal (goes out), and many others.
