Cristóbal de Morales: Officium Defunctorum - Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht
31 August/20h00 Netherlands / Utrecht
With the Officium Defunctorum and the five-part Missa Pro Defunctis, Morales established milestones in the genre of funeral music. Publications and copies can be found all over Europe, and even the New World followed the Morales trend: his Requiem is said to have graced the memorial ceremonies for Emperor Charles V in Mexico in 1599.
