Cristóbal de Morales and Christmas Around Europe

[Guest]

From iPlayer it was the Sanctus and Benedictus from the same Mass setting used earlier, with the same choir.

Sorry, I misunderstood what bit of music was being asked for.

There is an occasional false-relation in Morales' music giving it a slightly 'English' flavour. I'm sure this is entirely accidental. (No pun intended.) I had not realised he'd spent most of his working life in the Papal choir. Oh to be a time-travelling fly on the wall of he Sistine Chapel. Thought the Brabants came over very well in the programme. (I think I heard a couple of grammatical slips on Lucie's part...alumni instead of alumnus and defunctus instead of defunctis. But I'll let her off.)

I did too, but I suspect the script. E.g. the last item is written as Requiem Aeturnam on the BBC website re this programme..

Don't worry, it was a silly question anyway! I forgot about iPlayer! Sunday brain syndrome....
