Requiem: All Saints/All Souls

The Cathedral Choir will sing the Missa pro defunctis (Requiem Mass) by the Spanish Renaissance composer Cristóbal de Morales (c. 1500 – 1553), generally considered to be the most influential Spanish composer before Victoria. His works were widely distributed in Europe, and many copies made the journey to the New World.While much of its history remains unknown, there is evidence to suggest that this Requiem setting is Morales’ last composition.
