Renaissance Singers * Sebastian De Vivanco: Missa Pro Defunctis Motets [New CD] Grammy Winning " faded into the nightSpanish Renaissance polyphony has a reputation for florid, intricate contrapuntal textures and dark colours. Sebastian de Vivanco (c. 1551 1622), born in avila but active for most of his life in Salamanca, stands apart from his contemporaries: his music explores a much wider range of colours and techniques than that of, say, Victoria. In his more experimental and dramatic motets, some of which are heard here, he points the way towards the new Baroque.
