Luys de Narváez, born in Granada around 1500, was employed at an early age by Francisco de los Cobos y Molina, who became secretary of state to Charles V and comendador of several provinces of Spain. Narváez accompanied the Regent Felipe (the later Philip II) on voyages to Italy, Germany, France and the Netherlands, coming into contact with some of the most famous musicians of the time. At home, Nicolas Gombert and Antonio de Cabezón were among his colleagues at the Spanish court. In the latter part of his life Narváez was choirmaster of the royal chapel. He died probably around 1550.
