Ausgewahlte Werke 2 Tasteninstr.

The court organist, Antonio de Cabezón (ca. 1510-1566), who was appointed to Queen Isabella’s court chapel in Toledo at the young age of 16, was rightly regarded by his contemporaries as the leading Spanish organist andkeyboard player of the 16th century.

His hymns and versets are based on short, decorated harmonisations of the psalm tones. In the tientos, the transformation from vocal motet style to a style of writing suitable forkeyboard instruments is perfectly executed.

This Urtext edition contains a selection of Cabezon’s best known works and consists of four volumes. It has been prepared by two editors working at Portuguese andSpanishuniversities who are both leading scholars of the works of Cabezón and reflects the latest research findings.
