Morales: L'homme armé Masses
Magnificat secundi toni

De Profundis |  Robert Hollingworth

CORO is delighted to welcome De Profundis to the label in its landmark project exploring the complete Masses and Magnificats of Spanish Renaissance master Cristóbal de Morales. 

Album Description

The anonymous L'homme armé tune was widely used in 15th- and 16th-century Europe as structural and melodic inspiration for composers to base their masses on. The reason for its enduring appeal is not really understood but its catchy melody and the evocative, martial theme was clearly appreciated by composers from Dufay to Carissimi. De Profundis continues its Morales Project with two very different but equally exquisite Masses on this melody, alongside his spectacular Magnificat secundi toni.
