Ana López Suero

The sound of trumpets, drums and shawms was ubiquitous in Seville. It announced the processions of noble, ecclesiastical and civil authorities at every celebration in the city. From 1526 onwards, the cathedral employed a paid group of wind players - ministriles altos - who had both ceremonial and marketing functions. The aim was to use music to get more people interested in the liturgy. Ana López Suero delves into their wide repertoire, from dance music to instrumental versions of vocal polyphonic music.
