Performed from a new edition by Simon Heighes, Valls' fascinating (and frequently confusticating) juxtaposition of ancient and 'modern' compositional styles provides an intriguing glimpse into the treasure-trove of Spanish baroque music, much of which remains relatively unknown to the wider world.<\/p>\n<p>AAM is committed to the exploration of \u201cnew\u201d works from the 17th and 18th centuries; AAM's founder, Christopher Hogwood, was himself a keen musical detective, and this spirit of discovery runs throughout our activity. The movements of the <em>Missa Regalis<\/em> are interspersed with earlier keyboard works by both Francisco Corr\u00eaa de Arouxo and Juan Cabinilles. Director Matthew Martin writes: 'there has been no attempt to create any particular formal liturgical sequence here, rather to place the <em>Mass<\/em> within a broader musical context using a style of keyboard writing most likely to have been familiar to Valls and his contemporaries.' These organ pieces were recorded on the Aubertin organ in St. John\u2019s College, Oxford and overlaid with Keble Chapel\u2019s acoustic.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u2018Extraordinary sequences of dissonant suspensions and harmonic invention and a profoundly beautiful <em>Crucifixus<\/em> exemplify the technical precision, shaded sonorities and articulate polyphonic detail achieved by the Choir of Keble College, Oxford ... the music-making is top-notch.\u2019 Gramophone<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Review in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europadisc.co.uk\">Europadisc<\/a>, June 2020:<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201ca definite cause for celebration\u2026 [Matthew] Martin and his choir clearly have an understanding of this music that is both informed and instinctive\u2026 exceptionally generous documentation on Valls, the Mass itself, the organ works, and the wider Iberian organ tradition. For lovers of Baroque music who want to explore beyond the familiar highways and byways, this disc will really whet the appetite: do try it!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201c[from] a new edition by musicologist Simon Heighes in what is a world-premiere recording. And it\u2019s quite a find: although scored conservatively for five-part chorus plus continuo group, it nevertheless succeeds in artfully blending the traditional with the modern, in a way that only a composer of considerable experience can achieve.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cThe young, mixed voices of the Keble College Choir, under the expert direction of Matthew Martin, have just the sort of vibrant yet focused tone that this music needs.. The upper parts have a purity that readily evokes the boys\u2019 voices with which Valls would have worked on a daily basis, while the lower parts have a welcome sonorousness to them. The Academy of Ancient Music\u2026 give expert, subtly coloured support to the choir throughout.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>\u00a0<\/i><i>\u201cMatthew Martin himself takes to the organ of St John\u2019s College, Oxford, for three wonderfully contrasting 17th-century <\/i>tientos<i>... All receive splendidly idiomatic performances by Martin at the 2008 Bernard Aubertin organ of St John\u2019s Chapel, successfully recreating a soundworld with which Valls would certainly have been familiar.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Released 1 May 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>The Choir of Keble College<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Academy of Ancient Music<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Matthew Martin<\/strong> <em>director &amp;
