Recent Researches in the Music of the Renaissance

Sebastian de Vivanco
Three Masses
Edited by Enrique Alberto Arias
 
R 31 ISBN 0-89579-109-9 (1978) xi+87 pp. $36.00
  ISBN 978-0-89579-109-2 (13-digit)    

This edition of representative sacred works by Vivanco substantially widens our view of the Renaissance in Spain. Two of the three masses presented here (Missa O quam suavis es and Missa Beata Maria Virgine in Sabbato) contain striking examples of contrapuntal virtuosity with a complexity of style rare in the late sixteenth century. The Missa Sexti toni, on the other hand, presents a contrast in its harmonic clarity and simpler melodic style.
