Juan Arañés (died c. 1649) was a Spanish baroque composer.
[1] His tonos and villancicos follow the style of those preserved in the Cancionero of Kraków.
After studies in Alcalá de Henares, he was maestro di cappella at the Spanish embassy in Rome, where in 1624 he published his Libro Segundo de tonos y villancicos.
[3] The Libro Segundo collection contains 12 pieces of 1, 2, and 3 voices, tonos humanos and villancicos, the final being a vocal chaconne for 4 voices, A la vida bona which features in the works of Miguel de Cervantes.
[4] The collection is notable for its guitar accompaniment in Italian notation.
