Today, we are with Cristobal de Morales and he is going to explain something about his life.
00:00:05
Hi, I'm Cristobal de Morales and I'm going to talk about my life.
00:00:11
I was born in Marchena, Sevilla. Really beautiful. I recommend you to visit.
00:00:15
I was a couple, master singer and polyphonic composer. I know, I was like Barbie.
00:00:20
You can be whatever you want. I took that message really serious.
00:00:26
So, when were you born?
00:00:30
About my date of birth, there are only speculations. It is strange not knowing the date of your own birth, yes, but what do you want me to do? Instead, Sevilla was certainly my place.
00:00:32
Sad thing. And what about your family? Did you have one?
00:00:44
I didn't know anything about my parents and my family, except the existence of a sister who she attended in the celebration of her nuptials because she was orphaned.
00:00:49
my own declaration in the dedicatory letter to duke cosimo de medici in my first book of masses
00:01:05
i began to cultivate music from my childhood and that i was trained in the discipline of the
00:01:10
quadrivium you have liked music since you were a little boy tell us more about your life in seville
00:01:15
my childhood and adolescence was spent in seville i didn't travel alone i didn't do any service as
00:01:24
a choir boy or an adult singer seville was a true important of illustrious musicians
00:01:30
Wow, I didn't expect that about Seville. I know something you did on April 1526. It was related with the marriage of Portugal's emperor, can be?
00:01:36
Yes, on April 10th, 1526, I was able to witness the marriages of Isabel of Portugal and Emperor Carlos I.
00:01:57
Wascapel was made of Flemish singers led by his teacher Nicolás Gumbert. I still remember his face, the poor thing was not very handsome.
00:02:06
Oops, poor teacher Nicolas.
00:02:14
Anyways, he took care of the musical part, a propitious occasion for a friendly beginning between me and Gombert.
00:02:33
Supported from now on by a repeated and personal relationship between us, both composers.
00:02:40
We published our works in consortium in more than one edition. I have to say he was a really great man.
00:02:46
Sure, I would have liked to meet him. Changing the conversation, what happened on July 15th, 26th?
00:03:14
I would not be a stranger when, on 1526, I was elected to the Magisterium of Avila.
00:03:20
That day I was full of emotion.
00:03:34
I stayed in it, however, lasted just two years because I moved to Plasencia, specifically Cáceres at the beginning of 1528, to occupy the same position, again.
00:03:36
Knowing the cause of motives, my instability in the musical capels is a constant event that is observed throughout my life, except for the decade that I was in the Pontifical Chapel.
00:03:46
How was the change of Ávila to Plasencia?
00:03:57
The change from Ávila to Plasencia can be assumed given the more dynamic climate of this place and above all because of the specific flowering of the music that was lived, thanks to the impulse of Bishop Gutiérrez Vargas de Carvajal, patron of art in all his manifestations, with the added gift of a more substantial economic deal.
00:04:00
Of everything that happened during my teaching in Plasencia, I would leave office at the end of 1535.
00:04:20
No composition of my estate has been preserved and a fact that is not symptomatic if one takes into account the loss of its musical codices at the site.
00:04:26
And the following four years on what were spent?
00:04:36
There follows a period of four years, empty of personal data or activities until September 1535,
00:04:40
when I was accepted as a cantor in the Pontifical Capet, after having passed the several examinations to which the candidates were subjected.
00:04:52
I know you passed all the tests.
00:05:01
Yes, because of my exceptional gift. Passed all the tests, as you have said, to the unanimous applause of the examiners.
00:05:03
By various assumptions, the five-year period from Plasencia to Rome is considered.
00:05:10
In which part of Italy, specifically?
00:05:15
i would spend it in naples headquarters of spanish artists and musicians serving in the court of viceroy pedro alvarez de toledo marquis of villafranca and father of leonor de toledo married to duke cosme de medici to whom i dedicate my first book of masses
00:05:17
Suppose you were excited. I would be excited.
00:05:34
One of my first books, you know, my first books, called Opera Omnia, Officium Misa Et Motecta De Functorum.
00:05:41
There are more such as famous comedy El Renegado del Cielo, Loves of Dido and Eneas.
00:05:48
But as this is the first one, it's the most important. The rest are famous comedies.
00:05:54
Tell us about your compositions. When were they appeared?
00:05:59
My first composition written appeared in 1539. Two of them in Lyon and only one of them in Venezia.
00:06:02
When you see all there is, you might be lazy to read each and every one of them.
00:06:09
But if you didn't put them, what is the use of all this information?
00:06:14
It's boring, yes, but when you listen to them, you might think otherwise.
00:06:17
Don't say I will never drink this water. There were 22 masses in four, five and six voices.
00:06:21
Do you have any specific music work?
00:06:27
Oh yes, called Si nos hubiera mirado, Cancionero de Uppsala, from 15000 to 1553.
00:06:30
There were more than one voices singing, but not at the same time.
00:06:37
For you to understand, imagine, I start singing a part of a song, and you start later singing the same.
00:06:41
This is called counterpoint.
00:06:46
Ok, I know.
00:06:48
More details. If you have noticed, the voices went from a low tone to a higher one.
00:07:28
Yes, that's what I was thinking about. For me, it was also sad and a bit dramatic.
00:07:34
For you, for me and for the rest. I will tell you the period that is in the Renaissance.
00:07:39
It's polyphonic music because the sound has more than one voice.
00:07:44
Timbre are four voices and three instruments. Also, it's moderato and mezzo forte. Rhythm, quadruple.
00:07:48
So, thanks Cristóbal for this interview. Is there something else you want to tell us?
00:07:54
To finish, I have to say that I love music,
00:07:59
and I hope thanks to my compositions or others you can appreciate it too.
00:08:02
Music is something magic.
