十六世纪的西班牙有“黄金时代”之美誉，南部安达鲁西亚首府西维尔更是当时的文化重镇。时光之音以最纯净之人声合唱带领大家穿越时空，于首晚音乐会一次过欣赏三代优秀西维尔作曲家的隐世杰作，其中阿洛素·罗布的《耶肋米亚哀歌》更是刚复修完成面世的极罕有曲目！
Vast riches from its conquest of the Americas led to an explosion of cultural activity in 16th century Spain—the Golden Age. Centred on its glorious cathedral, Seville became a leading centre of musical excellence and left the world with colourful, moving choral masterpieces. Quondam’s first concert features three generations of Sevillian composers from this Golden Age: Cristóbal de Morales, Francisco Guerrero and Alonso Lobo. All started as cathedral choirboys, and all became maestros leading cathedral music in Spain. Morales and Guerrero had spent years working at the Papal Chapel in Rome, while all three composers wrote beautiful mass settings imbued with European aesthetics of their time. Rarely heard until its recent rescue from obscurity, Lobo’s sublime, polyphonous setting of the Book of Lamentations is a highlight of this programme.
托马斯·刘易斯·德·维多利亚是十六世纪最有名的西班牙作曲家，与英国的拜特及意大利的帕莱斯特里纳齐名。次场将上演其代表作安魂曲──《追思亡者经课》由多首葬礼弥撒曲乐章组成，传统葛利果圣歌复调乐句此起彼落，交织出比巴洛克音乐更早的后文艺复兴风格。
A second concert showcases the genius of Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548 – 1611). Considered his country’s greatest Renaissance composer and pre-eminent writer of church music, Victoria was Spain’s Palestrina, or England’s William Byrd. He spent his last years in Madrid at the court of the Empress Maria, for whose funeral the beguiling and sumptuous choral requiem Officium Defunctorum was written. Lobo’s motet Versa est in Luctum precedes it, composed for the funeral of Maria’s brother, King Phillip II of Spain.
