Cantica Symphonica- Motets by Morales

Cantica Symphonia

As a singer at the papal chapel, Cristóbal de Morales worked among the very greatest for ten years. It was the beginning of an unparalleled musical career that would make the Sevillian the most important composer of Renaissance Spain and a figurehead of the generation of polyphonists between Josquin and Palestrina. How Morales applied his own signature style to original music of the future is demonstrated by Cantica Symphonia in this lovingly curated collection of motets.

Founded in 1995, Cantica Symphonia has dedicated itself for almost three decades to the recovery and performance of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque polyphony. The ensemble’s unique style is based on extensive analysis of original sources, and characterized by its particular care and attention to the interaction between individual voices and instruments. Cantica Symphonia is recognized as one of the most authoritative interpreters of the music of the fifteenth century and in particular of Guillaume Dufay, Heinrich Isaac and Josquin Desprez.
