Filipe de Magalhães (c. 1571-1652): Missa Si ignoras te (SATB)

The third Mass of the Missarum liber cum antiphonis (Lisbon, 1636) by Filipe de Magalhães (c. 1571-1652) is based on the five-voice motet Si ignoras te by Christian Hollander (c. 1512-1569), which was published in 1554, more than 80 years before (our edition of Si ignoras te can be purchased here). This Mass is rather unusual as it reduces the voices of the original model (like Gombert in the Missa Media vita).

Christian Hollander (c. 1512-1569): Si ignoras te (SAATB)

This outstanding motet by Christian Hollander was published in the Liber tertius sacrarum cantionum quinque et sex vocum in 1554 and served as a model (in 1636, more than 80 years later!) for the Missa Si ignoras te by Filipe de Magalhães, which we are also publishing this week.

Sebastián de Vivanco (c. 1551-1622): Missa Quarti toni (SATB)

The Missa Quarti toni is one of the two shortest Masses (alongside with the Missa Sexti toni) of the Liber missarum (1608). Unlike other Vivanco Masses, the Missa Quarti toni does not add any additional voices in any of its parts.

Alonso Lobo (1555-1617): Versa est in luctum (SSATTB)

The most famous work by Alonso Lobo. This astonishing six-voice motet was composed for the funeral of Philip II of Spain. Although there are lots of editions available online, they seem to miss some very crucial musica ficta: the most interesting omission occurs in measure 65, where there is a "hidden" English cadence (a clash of a minor second in a cadence that is common in Franco-Flemish music composers of the mid-sixteenth century like Gombert or Clemens non Papa) that appears in some Spanish works in the late sixteenth century like the one in Versa est in luctum by Sebastián de Vivanco or Vadam et circuibo civitatem by Tomás Luis de Victoria.

Francisco Garro († 1623): Missa Saeculorum primi toni (SSATB)

Our second edition of the Opera aliquot (Lisbon, 1609) by the Spanish composer Francisco Garro is a Mass inspired by the Missa Saeculorum amen by Francisco Guerrero. The Mass is based on the melodic formula of the Tone I to sing a Psalm or a Magnificat.

You can buy or download this score here. Remember, you can buy our scores for the price you want to support Ars Subtilior Editions!

Guerrero was a fruitful inspiration for many Spanish and European composers: we have already published the Missa Ave virgo sanctissima by Géry de Ghersem, the Missa Ave virgo sanctissima by Juan de Esquivel, the Missa Maria Magdalene and the Missa Beata Dei genitrix by Alonso Lobo, the Missa Sancta Maria and the Missa Dicebat Jesus by Duarte Lobo, to name a few!
