A note on Francisco de Peñalosa
The St. Mary’s Schola Cantorum is singing a Mass (the Missa ‘El Ojo’) by Francisco de Peñalosa at the 9:30 Solemn Mass this Sunday. Peñalosa was born in Talavera de la Reina, near Toledo. He worked primarily in Seville (where he was maestro de capilla), with some time also in Burgos and in Rome (where for three years he worked at the papal chapel). By the time of his death in Seville in 1528, Peñalosa had come to be considered one of the most important Spanish composers of his generation. Perhaps the greatest of all the Iberian composers of the Renaissance was the priest Tomás Luis de Victoria, who lived two generations after Peñalosa, and whose motet Domine non sum dignus the Schola is also singing at this Mass.
