Schola Antiqua, Ensemble La Danserye & Sourcework - Missa Super Octo Tonos: Sebastián de Vivanco (2026) [24/96]

Discover the musical wealth of Spain’s Golden Age with Missa super octo tonos, the newest release from Salamanca Cathedral’s Cathedralis label. This recording forms part of an ongoing and important effort to bring renewed attention to the works of Sebastián de Vivanco (c. 1553–1622), a distinguished composer and former chapelmaster whose music has long been neglected. Vivanco’s compositions—and indeed all his printed output—were issued by the printer Susana Muñoz, who, together with her husband Artus Tavernier, established one of the leading presses for sacred music in Golden Age Spain. In this sense, the album also pays homage to her as a key figure in sixteenth-century Spanish music printing.
