​

The ‘Golden Age’ of the Spanish Renaissance with its gorgeous sonorities and sumptuous polyphony is one of the great glories of the choral repertoire. The works of Francisco Guerrero continue to be a revelation for their exquisite sound worlds, and his wonderful Missa de la Batalla Escoutez is a particularly expressive example. This music flourished throughout Spain and even reached the Papal Court in Rome so we present the Guerrero alongside motets by Cristóbal de Morales, Juan Esquivel, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, and Tomás Luis de Victoria.
