Book synopsis

Cristobal de Morales was the most famous Spanish composer of the mid-sixteenth century. His music was known internationally during his lifetime. He was eulogized by contemporary writers, and his fame and influence remained significant in the seventeenth century: sixty years after his death, he was still regarded as one of the finest composers of sacred polyphony. His repertory includes over twenty Masses and a very large number of motets and works in other sacred genres.This wide-ranging volume examines numerous aspects of the composer's works, and the Spanish and other contexts within which they were composed and received. Topics covered include: sources; newly uncovered works and issues of authorship; musical traditions in Spain and elsewhere; the transmission and reception of Morales' music in Spain, Northern Europe and the New World; patterns of influence and emulation involving Morales and other composers; and modern perceptions of Morales and his music.This book also provides the first comprehensive published list of the composer's works and their sources. Owen Rees is Reader in the Faculty of Music at the University of Oxford; Bernadette Nelson is affiliated to Wolfson College at the University of Oxford. The contributors are: Cristle Collins Judd, Martin Ham, Tess Knighton, Kenneth Kreitner, Alison Sanders Mcfarland, Michael Noone, Bernadette Nelson, Owen Rees, Stephen Rice, Emilio Ros-Fabregas, Graeme Skinner, Robert Stevenson, Cristina Urcheguia, and Grayson Wagstaff.
