“Al açento divino”

Geistliche Musik von Sebastián Durón (1660-1716)

Friday 12nd September, 19.30 · St. Franziskuskirche Riehen – Riehen (D)

Saturday 13rd September, 18.00 · St. Marienkirche – Basel (CH)

Sebastián Durón composed an abundant quantity of music both sacred and profane: this was his main duty as court chapelmaster. At least eigth of his works for the stage survive, together with a large number of villancicos (devotional music in Spanish, therefore not strictly liturgical, but very popular in the churches of the time). Amongst his best works are probably the large scale liturgical ones (like lamentations, psalms and masses). 

“Misa a la moda francesa” is undoubtedly one of the best works of Sebastián Durón, it is a large scale setting of the ordinary of the mass (with the customary movements Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei) scored for two choirs (SSAT, SATB), three obligato instrumental parts (natural trumpet and two violins) and continuo. The subtitle “a la moda francesa” means “in the French fashion”, and indeed the piece has a series of features that can be compared to the style of the French grand motet of the time and that were not so much characteristic of Spanish music: constant change in texture, small solo sections alternate with tutti interventions, use of general rests, use of figures with repeated notes (concitato style), and a closer relationship to the text in which short phrases or even single words are musically depicted, as opposed to a more general musical representation of the meaning of the text as a whole. The larger movements (Gloria and Credo) both finish with fugued sections.

Lamentaciones de Jeremías

Passion Music by Sebastián Durón

Friday 14th March, 20.15 · Dorpskerk – Voorschoten (NL)

Sebastián Durón was one of the most important Spanish composers of the late 17th century. He introduced musical influences from Italy in Spanish compositions, something which was not to everyone’s liking. But Durón’s innovations did give the Spanish music new momentum, both in Spain itself and in South America. La Academia de los Nocturnos plays various double choral works – especially for the Passion Time – including his beautiful Lamentaciones de Jeremías.
