Stefano Felis (1538-1609): Missa La sol fa mi re ut (SSATTB)
A beautiful six-voice Mass based on the descending (and sometimes ascending) hexachord. The Agnus Dei is scored for seven voices with a non-indicated canon at the octave between the Cantus II and the Tenor I.

Sebastián de Vivanco (c. 1551-1622): Missa O quam suavis est (SATB)
One of the best Masses (if not the best) by Sebastián de Vivanco, based on his own motet (its edition can be purchased here). The highlights of the Mass are the Pleni sunt (for five voices with a retrograde canon) and the final Agnus Dei (for seven voices!), where the head-motif of the motet appears in the Superius 2 with long values. A masterpiece that deserves many performances and recordings.

Cristóbal de Montemayor (fl. 1583-1600): Virgo prudentissima (SATTB)
Cristóbal de Montemayor (or Cristoforo Montemayor) is a rather unknown Spanish Renaissance composer. The only source for his works is the Liber primus cum octo et sex et quinque et quatuor vocibus (Napoli, 1593), a collection with psalms for double choir, hymns, motets and a couple of Masses. Though the double choir psalms and hymns are quite uninteresting, the works that stand out are the motets for four, five and six voices.
We are publishing the motets for four, five and six voices by Montemayor in Ars Subtilior Editions. The copy of the Liber primus (I-RN Mss musicali 135) has a lot of errors (text, accidentals, values...) that have been corrected for our editions.
Virgo prudentissima is an outstanding motet for five voices (SSATB). It alternates parts with vibrant counterpoint with phrases of expressive homophony (like in pulchra ut luna).

Francisco Garro († 1623): Missa Maria Magdalene (SSATBB)
The Spanish composer Francisco Garro published this wonderful Mass based on the famous motet by Francisco Guerrero on his Opera aliquot (Lisbon, 1609). This is a very different Mass from the one by Alonso Lobo (available here). The final Agnus Dei is scored for eight voices with a double canon In diapason.
