About this concert
Francisco Guerrero was not only a composer, but also a priest. His strong spirituality shines through the staves of Canciones y Villanescas Espirituales: a collection published in Venice, in transit to Jerusalem. These songs are perhaps Guerrero's most intimate works, with texts that echo the Counter-Reformation but draw musically from secular and vernacular repertoires. Cantoría stirs emotions and opens doors to the mystical in this Renaissance recital.
