A cappella
TOTAL DURATION: about 3 minutes. Francisco Lopez Capillas (1608-1674) is widely believed to be the first native-born New World composer, and his mass for four voices, Missa Benedicta, is one of his most beautiful works. This Sanctus-Benedictus is excerpted from Steven Paxton's new performance edition of the complete work, omitting the lengthy Credo.
