Alonso Lobo - Sacred Vocal MusicOn this new recording, Coro Victoria offers a portrait of Alonso Lobo (1555 1617) through a cross section of his sacred output (his works in Spanish are all lost). The group also illustrates the variety of interpretative practices of the period. The concluding O quam suavis est Domine is sung by a single soprano while the vihuela accompaniment supplies the remaining five parts. Church choirs sang this music in the liturgy, but minstrels also played it
