VAZQUEZ: Songs and villancicos: Gentil Señora Mía: 16th-Century Songs and Villancicos [CD de audio] Quink Vocal Ensemble and V

Beautiful Maria; Gentle my lady; Thank heaven I give; I didn't think that among shepherds; Who loves, how does he sleep? If I hadn't looked at you; What will I wash it with? For once - Nonostante tutti gli gli glisforzi dei musicologi, sussistono ancora molti più dubbi che tezze sulla figura de José Vázquez, Spanish composer of great talent who in the course of the 16th century provided press service to the royal court of Spain. Its production comprises soprattutto opera profane, for the largest part madrigali polifonici e carols, ending with cui venivano definiti and canti popolari Iberici a quattro e cinque voci. The madrigali presented in this album of surprising beauty are based on their versions of famous poets such as Juan Boscán and Garcilaso de la Vega, among the Christmas carols riecheggiano motivi e testi tradizionali che sprigionano una gioia contagiosa e un'contenibile vitalità. This work came from the Quink ensemble, a Dutch vocal formation that has been active for over 25 years. The booklet includes both cover notes and testimonies of the songs.
