Composer:
Cristobal de Morales

Artist(s):
Brabant Ensemble

Conductor:
Stephen Rice

Background: Morales was the first Spanish composer to achieve true international fame, and was described by contemporaries as 'the light of Spain in music'. Although he is relatively well-represented in recordings, a few pieces have attracted the attention of performers at the expense of the majority of his output. This recording aims to begin filling that gap by presenting works which are so far underexposed, yet which are of extremely high quality.

The longest work on this disc is the Magnificat primi toni. In 1542 Morales wrote a set of eight Magnificats (one in each of the 'tones' - 'keys', in modern terms). The prevailing liturgy of the day, however, required the canticle to be sung alternatim, with alternate verses sung to plainchant; to adhere to this, and perhaps to double his earnings, Morales split his compositions in half for publication - apparently two Magnificats per 'tone', each with half the verses only set to music. And so it has remained to this day. This is the first recording of any of Morales's Magnificats to present the entire work as the composer originally intended.
