Sancta Maria (Fco. Hernández) - Ex Cathedra

[pacomotob]

Resulta chocante que música barroca de hispano américa la tengan que promocionar la cultura anglosajona. En España no está muy difundida, salvo excepciones, siendo de una belleza y calidad comparable a Tomas Luis de Victoria, Guerrero y otros tan admirados en la actualidad.

Amazing, does anybody know where I could acquire the score for this piece?

With all due respect, I'd like to make a clarifying comment in regards to the name of this great composer from the XVI century.

His name was Hernando Franco.

I know it get's abit confusing when there's a common Hernandez (surname) and Hernan - Hernando as first names.

It's understandable.

There are many more musical treasures to be discovered in Mexico, Central and SouthAmerica from the musical masters of the past.

Thank you for posting such beatiful music.

Cheers.

If you know of other pearls like this one I'd love to know about them.. I'm now trying to get this into my choir program.

So if there are more you know about, please tell me about them.

Regards from Iceland!

Dear panorama8844,

Mr. Skidmore has done a wonderful rendition to the great music of Mexico and Latinamerica with this magnificent recording.

Ex-Cathedra choir is one of the leading mujsical groups that has made their job to bring 'back to life' the old music of the world, specially the one from the American composers.

Thank you for Sharing Beauty!
