A Tribute to Vivanco

In 2022 it was the 400th anniversary of the death of Sebastián de Vivanco, one of the great masters of sacred music born in Spain in the final period of the Renaissance. Born in Ávila, like Tomás Luis de Victoria, with whom he shared studies in the cathedral of his hometown, where both were cantorcicos, Vivanco’s career spanned through Lérida, Segovia and Ávila before settling in Salamanca, as chapel master and university professor. There Vivanco was lucky enough to meet a famous Belgian editor, who published three large collections with his music between 1607 and 1610. From themcome the mass and the motets that the Portuguese Officium Ensemble performs in this concert, contextualizing them with some great names of Portuguese polyphony of the same period.
