Hannah French introduces choral music by the Spanish Rennaisance composer Crist贸bal de Morales, performed at the 2024 Utrecht Early Music Festival.

This year's Festival focussed on composers working in Seville in the sixteenth century such as Morales, Guerrero and Pe帽alosa. But with its port as a centre for global trade, many composers from other countries around the world passed through and left their mark on the musical sound of the Andalusian city at the time. Morales was born in Seville in about 1500, and became known as the 'emperor of Iberian polphony', demonstrated in performances of his music by Cantica Symphonia and Cantar Lontano, and closing with Morales's Mass for the Dead performed by Vox Luminis.
