In: Portuguese Polyphony, Publications

There’s been a lot of buzz online since the publishing of several yesterday in some British media such as the BBC or The Guardian regarding the Portuguese-born composer Vicente Lusitano.Read more

Diogo Dias Melgaz ❧ Salve Regina

2019-10-02
By: Luís Henriques
On: 02/10/2019
In: Listening, Work

The motet Salve Regina, for four voices, is probably Diogo Dias Melgaz’s best-known work. Melgaz was born in the Alentejo village of Cuba in 1638 and died in Évora in 1700 and is one of the Évora Cathedral composers whose most musical output has survived to this day.Read more

Duarte Lobo • Asperges me

By: Luís Henriques
On: 30/09/2019
In: Ensemble Eborensis, Listening, Recordings

This polyphony setting of the antiphon Asperges me comes from Portuguese composer Duarte Lobo’s first Liber Missarum of 1621. It was one of the books Lobo printed in Antwerp at the famous Officina Plantiniana by Balthazar Moretus.Read more

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina • Assumpta est Maria

2019-08-14
By: cantomensurable
On: 14/08/2019
In: Listening

No Renaissance composer and few later ones have been as proficient as Palestrina at writing positive, outward-going, major-key music, and in this context Assumpta est Maria represents one of the most important works of the period.Read more

Tomás Luis de Victoria – O Quam gloriosum

2019-07-09
By: Luís Henriques
On: 09/07/2019
In: Listening

One of my favourite motets by Tomás Luis de Victoria is the four-voice O quam gloriosum, a motet indicated for the feast of All Saints. It was one of his most published works with the first print in the 1572 book of motets with reprints in 1583, 1585, 1589 andRead more

Tomás Luis de Victoria • Ascendens Christus in altum

2019-05-30
By: Luís Henriques
On: 30/05/2019
In: Listening

The motet Ascendens Christus in altum by Spanish composer Tomás Luis de Victoria was first published in his 1572 book of motets, one of his finest publications where one can find other motets such as the famous O magnum mysterium or the six-part Vidi speciosam.Read more

Polyphony for World Voice Day

2019-04-16
By: Luís Henriques
On: 16/04/2019
In: Listening

The human voice is probably one of our most valuable treasures, to which so much wonderful music has been composed since the beginnings of our civilisation.  April 16th was chosen since 1999 to  celebrate worldwide the phenomenon of voice. Its aim is to demonstrate the enormous importance of the voiceRead more

Alonso Lobo • Versa est in luctum

2019-04-04
By: Luís Henriques
On: 04/04/2019
In: Listening

To me, one of the finest examples of the relation and message that painting and music can communicate can be found in El Greco’s The Burrial of the Count of Orgaz and Alonso Lobo’s motet Versa est in luctum. Both works are pratically from the same period and both areRead more

Tomás Luis de Victoria ❧ Ave Maria [a 8]

2019-03-27
By: Luís Henriques
On: 27/03/2019
In: Listening

Together with Francisco Guerrero’s, Tomás Luis de Victoria’s double-choir setting of the Ave Maria (the only one actually by him) is probably one the “Ave Maria” settings from Iberian composers which I like more (although D. Pedro de Cristo’s setting is also sumptuous).Read more

Estêvão Lopes Morago • Oculi mei semper ad Dominum

2019-03-13
By: Luís Henriques
On: 13/03/2019
In: Ensemble Eborensis, Listening, Recordings

On June 4th, 2014, I made some recordings with Ensemble Eborensis of the repertory we were singing at the time, taking advantage of the generous acoustic of the archaeology wing of the then Évora Regional Museum (now National Museum Fr. Manuel do Cenáculo), which used to be the archiepiscopal palaceRead more
