Joao Vaz - Coleho: Flores de Musica, Vol. 6

Flores de Musica pera o instrumento de tecla & harpa is the only known work of Portuguese composer Manuel Rodrigues Coelho. Printed in Lisbon in 1620 and boasting more than five hundred pages, Coelho's Flores de Musica is one of the largest music works printed in the seventeenth century. 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.
