BENEDICTUS | Rehearsal video | • Tenor • Guerrero’s “Missa Iste Sanctus”

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

After nearly 23 years as Fernández’s assistant, Guerrero at last became “maestro de capilla” of Seville Cathedral on 9 March 1574. He continued to travel, and on 7 January 1579 the cathedral chapter granted him a year’s leave of absence to visit Rome. He eventually set out in April 1581, having spent the intervening period preparing two large collections of his music, which were published in Rome in 1582 and 1584. He arrived in Rome in October 1581 and did not leave for home until 31 October 1582.
