CD information

About this CD:

The first disc is a representation of what someone, living in the Spanish court in the period 1475 – 1520 might have heard there. The second disc explores how that musical tradition was exported to Mexico and how it developed there. The music varies from “almost plain chant” to complicated polyphony, in secular as well as sacred works. Recorded 1991. I bought this CD in a record shop in the Netherlands in 1998.

In 1997 I created the Ultimate Stabat Mater website for Hans with the program FrontPage. At that time he had around 40 Stabat Mater CDs. His notes on the composer, the music, the texts and translations and the different versions all came online. After this he managed the site by adding new composers and translations regularly. At the time of his death in 2005 he had 211 Stabat Maters. After his death I continued collecting the information and managing the site. I wish to thank the Dutch Stabat Mater Foundation which gave me the financial support in 2014 to renew this site!
