Graindelavoix
Was he Seville's first Baroque composer? Portuguese Francisco de Santiago – thought to be a pupil of Manuel Cardoso - succeeded Alonso Lobo as maestro de capilla of the Seville Cathedral in 1617. There he started a compositional practice that broke radically with the past. King João IV was a fan, as attested to by Graindelavoix. The ensemble is eager to discover this forgotten vedette and Francisco de Santiago’s eccentric eight-part responsoria for Holy Week.
