About this concert
Why does the San Antonio Abad archive in Cusco house so many lamentations? Did a local tradition exist and if so: why? Did the oppressed people recognise themselves in the lamentations of the prophet Jeremiah? Did Jerusalem’s fate resonate in the ruins left by the colonists?
Cusco was once the capital of the Incas, the Rome of South America. A few decades after the arrival of conquistador Pizarro, a cathedral stood there. The music, too, was European, with lamentations initially following Spanish polyphonic trends, but by around 1750 becoming permeated with Italianisms. Música Temprana presents the results of a heroic round of transcription and reconstruction in its selection of lamentations and villancicos de pasión from Cusco and Sucre.

About the performers
Founded in 2001 by Argentine-Dutch conductor Adrián Rodríguez Van der Spoel, Música Temprana specialises in Baroque repertoire from Latin America. Música Temprana's musicians are classically trained, but all have musical roots in the Latin American music tradition, so Baroque and folklore go hand in hand. The repertoire comes mainly from the archives, cathedrals and Jesuit missions of Latin America, where Rodríguez Van der Spoel regularly searches for forgotten compositions.
