Musica Virreinal Mexicana - Ars Nova


The mexican group "Ars Nova" leaading by Magda Zalles is one of the best in its genre."The group's sound is beautiful and warm, which emanates from smooth and white voices as from the early music style is needed. Its deep work as ensemble shows an almost telepathic link between them, not to mention they posses an unique and fascinating repertoire" -Quoting the Washimgton post-.

This album is extraordinary. The ensemble added various prehispanic wind and percussion instruments to some pieces which perhaps leads to less formal interpretation (in some cases), but at the same time gives deeper prehispanic ambiance, whereupon the ensemble is worthy of all kind of considerations.

Matins for the Virgin of Guadalupe 1764 - Jerusalem

"Matins is the monastic nighttime liturgy, ending at dawn, of the canonical hours. In the Roman Catholic pre-Vatican-II breviary, it is divided into three nocturns. The name "matins" originally referred to the morning office also known as lauds. When the nocturnal monastic services called vigils or nocturns were joined with lauds, the name of "matins" was applied at first to the concluding morning service and later still to the entire series of vigils." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matins
Musically speaking, matins (mornings) refers to a composition of sacred character intended to be performed from late night until before dawn. Its structure is quite simple: An introduction (Deus in adjutorium), ensuing by an alternation of antiphonies sung in plain chant and responsories constructed in a more elaborated way sung with instrumental accompaniment by soloists. For finishing is sung the salm "Te DEUM". In this recording were added intentionally two works of Sumaya; as interludio "Albricias mortales" (mortals, good news) and as ending "Angélicas milicias" (heavenly militias).
