Concert: Il siglo d’oro Music in honour of the Virgin Mary from 16th-century Spain |
|
Il siglo d’oro – the Golden Age – was the name
that Spaniards gave to their great flowering of music in the sixteenth
century. Spain brought forth some of the finest writers of the age and
the Virgin Mary was a popular subject with all of them. Francisco Guerrero was known as ‘el cantor de Maria’. Much of his highly characterful music was dedicated to the Virgin, from well-crafted four-part pieces to the more splendid double-choir numbers. This fascinating exploration of music from sixteenth-century Spain sets Guerrero alongside his contemporaries and colleagues Morales, Esquivel, Vivanco, Alonso Lobo and the brightest star of all, Tomás Luis de Victoria. |
