Collegium 1704: Musica iberica

The original vocal style that emerged on the Iberian Peninsula during the 16 th and 17 th centuries was based on the counterpoint of Palestrina and the Italian vocal tradition. However, the Spanish and Portuguese composers were able to enhance the musical language of their Italian models with elements of the local tradition that arose from encounters between many different cultures.
