Música para la catedral de Santiago
José de Baquedano. Music in Latin for Santiago Cathedral | LAU022
Situated at the westernmost tip of Europe, Santiago de Compostela has been a spiritual and artistic centre since the Middle Ages. In the 17th century, the city's cathedral experienced a golden age, during which the Romanesque building was transformed into a Baroque space. Polyphony was cultivated extensively to lend solemnity and grandeur to religious ceremonies. Among the cathedral's chapel masters, José de Baquedano, a composer from Navarre, stands out. He perfected his art under Matías Ruiz at the Royal Monastery of La Encarnación in Madrid. After three decades of teaching, he left behind an impressive body of vocal work in Spanish and Latin, with his pieces for Holy Week being particularly notable. This recording presents a unique collection of Baquedano's Latin works, featuring motets, psalms, and lamentations for two and three choirs, showcasing the exceptional talent of this composer from the Finis Terrae.
The recording is the result of research carried out by Albert Recasens at the Institute of Culture and Society (ICS) at the University of Navarra.
