Music and Poetry of the Spanish Golden Age

The Spanish vocal ensemble Qvinta Essençia showcase the polyphonic musical tradition and poetry that flourished in the Iberian peninsula of the 16th century. They sing beautifully shaped works by Guerrero, Morales and other less well known composers with texts by the pre-eminent poets of the age. John Shea presents.
