Description:The world-premiere recording of 18th Century Spanish composer Francisco Valls' 'Missa Regalis', - set alongside organ works from his contemporaries, Francisco Correa de Arouxo and Juan Bautista Jose Cabinilles. - Valls?? Missa Regalis Performed from a new edition of the score, edited by musicologist Simon Heighes; featuring The Chapel Choir of Keble College, Oxford, alongside the Academy of Ancient Music, directed by Matthew Martin. New score edition follows the discover of the manuscript in a Barcelona library. Valls stands out in Spain??s baroque era, not just for his work at Barcelona Cathedral and his theatrical works, but for his controversial mix of old and new, and flagrant disregard for various established musical practices. His daring harmony led to fellow composer J. M. de la Roca publishing a pamphlet in protest, and composers across Spain taking sides in the ensuing heated debate. Extensive booklet includes notes on Valls from expert Professor Álvaro Torrente; an editor??s note from Dr. Simon Heighes, a repertoire note on the solo organ works from well-known organist Stephen Farr, and introductions to the tiento, and to the design and disposition of early Iberian organs from Mark J. Merrill Full sung texts and images from the original manuscript are included in the full-colour, 72-page booklet - ACADEMY OF ANCIENT MUSIC
Much of the music of Baroque Spain remains obscure, despite the fact that many Spanish composers of a previous era - Cabazn, Arouxo and Cabinilles - have retained greater notoriety. During the 16th century, Spain benefitted from a rich musical interchange with Italy, but that ran drier by the end of the century and musical influences faded. Spanish music continued to develop from it's own resources and the voice of Francisco Valls stands out in this newly arrived "Baroque" era in Spain. Based in Barcelona, he is best known for various theatrical works and his Missa Scarla Aretina (1702), a controversial mix of old and new, infamous for it's flagrant disregard of various established musical practices. The Choir of Keble College is delighted to collaborate with the Academy of Ancient Music to bring to life another important work, Valls' "forgotten" Missa Regalis (1740) in a new edition by Simon Heighes, unlikely to have been heard since part way through the 18th century. Although smaller scale than his earlier Missa Scarla Aretina, it is a refreshing (and sometimes fascinatingly illogical) combination of ancient and "modern". We hope that this recording, and Simon's new edition of the score, encourages further performances of this piece along with greater interest into the life and works of this somewhat unconventional musician.
