Francisco Guerrero: "Requiem" (3)

Great Requiem!

Quand'os miro is not part of the requiem. It's one of his villanescas. It's in Monumentos de la Musica Espanola (available at most large university music libraries)

Stunning music from a very underrated group. The Orchestra of the Renaissance produce some spectacular arrangements and Richard Cheetham is a very talented director. Their recording of The Marriage of England and Spain at Winchester Cathederal is a must.

It seems this music is more popular than i thought. I really thought nobody liked this music.

Where is a good place to get Guerrero sheet music, specifically 'Quand'os Miro, Mi Dios', the opening of the requiem?

This was lovely thanks

The fading away at the end - is it supposed to signify the church procession walking out of the church? 'cause I understand this was taken from a commemoration of the actual Requiem mass for Guerrero in November 1599.

Either way, it is beautifully done. I discovered Guerrero only recently, and couldn't stop listening. Thx for uploading and I'll get my hands on that CD very soon :)
