Música Temprana
Before he turned 60, Francisco Guerrero wanted to fulfil two dreams: to publish his Canciones Espirituales and to visit the Holy Land. That adventure would span almost five months and was described by Guerrero in The Journey to Jerusalem: a travel diary containing a wealth of information on the life and work of this Renaissance icon. Música Temprana illustrates the chronicle with polyphony by the master interwoven with improvisations on the oud.
