Named after an eminent scribe at the court in Madrid, the Guerra Manuscript contains over one hundred secular songs from the second half of the seventeenth century. The anthology is a valuable repository of music from anonymous sources but also from Spain's very finest Baroque composers, such as Juan Hidalgo and Jose Marin. These expressive songs, largely on poetic and mythological themes, are performed by some of the world's leading interpreters of the genre, whose first volume in this series [8.570135] received great acclaim. The tenor Juan Sancho has collaborated with conductors including William Christie, Gustav Leonhardt, Jordi Savall, Andrea Marcon, Fabio Biondi, Allan Curtis, Richard Egarr and Diego Fasolis. Founded and directed by the Galician harpist Manuel Vilas, the Ars Atlantica ensemble is focused on Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Latin American music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
