Celebrating the 400th anniversary of it's original publication, a new edition in three volumes has been published with the research being used to inform this major new recording series. Organist and curator of the new edition Joao Vaz is joined by Capella Patriarchal and Cornetas & Sacabuxas de Lisboa to lend their artistry to this final chapter in an ambitious recording project.
