'Behold Francisco Guerrero, in whose compositions are found such elegant craftsmanship and such graceful counterpoint; whose pen has given us works of such lasting merit and universal significance, that no future age may ever produce a master who combines so many gifts.' Vicente Espinel
Known for his Latin liturgical compositions, Francisco Guerrero was one of the three great Spanish priest-composers of the 16th century. This recording is directed by Michael Noone, a noted expert on the music and interpretation of Francisco Guerrero, and performed by the Sydney Chamber Choir accompanied by the Orchestra of the Renaissance on period instruments.
