New World Syms - Baroque Music from Latin America

Not long after the discovery of the Americas, Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church were already firmly established. Many of the Native Indians came from highly sophisticated civilizations, most notably the Aztecs and the Incas. This disc showcases some of the treasures from this important era in history, and includes works sung in Quechua (the language of the Incas) and Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs). Works such as Padilla's remarkable Missa Ego flos campi have elements of flowing polyphony from Old Spain combined with lively, often syncopated, short phrases reflecting New Spain. The instrumentation on this disc is also mesmerizing - many different instruments were used extensively, including recorders, chirimias, cornetts, sackbuts and bajons, frequently used to double or replace voices. In the words of the conductor, Jeffrey Skidmore, this fascinating disc spanning the late 16th, 17th, and early 18th centuries is an inspiring beginners' guide to Baroque music and a spiritual devotion that has a relevance and function as important today as in the brave New World of South America all those years ago.
