In this video you will learn about Cristóbal de Morales' life
Hello, Cristóbal. Nice to meet you.
00:00:00
Hello, Cristóbal.
00:00:02
Hello.
00:00:03
Okay, let's start with the interview. Are you ready?
00:00:04
Yes, I am.
00:00:07
To start, where were you born?
00:00:09
I was born in the 16th century, but this is not sure the exact year.
00:00:11
And in which country and city did you born?
00:00:15
I was born in Sevilla, in Spain.
00:00:18
Wow, that's a beautiful city. What other work experiences have you had?
00:00:20
I have been working as a priest, chapelmaster, composer and singer.
00:00:25
How many pieces of music have you composed?
00:00:29
Well, it is difficult to remind.
00:00:32
So, have you composed a lot?
00:00:34
Yes, 22 masses for 4, 5 and 6 voices, 81 motets, 16 magnificas, 11 hymns, 5 sets of lamentations, some songs and other profound pieces.
00:00:37
Wow, that's a lot. Do you remember the name of at least one?
00:00:48
Well, not in this moment.
00:00:53
moment and what type of music have you used in your compositions well I have
00:00:56
been composing both secular and religious music but I have written more
00:01:08
religious work and from Renaissance various with religious vocal polyphony
00:01:12
movement all right how did you start composing this music of course I spent
00:01:16
all my childhood in Seville but I was in 1526 when I met Nicolas Gombert who was
00:01:23
a compositor that helped me to be chosen Magisterio de Avila in 1526. That was
00:01:32
where I showed my potential to the world. Now we are going to talk about places
00:01:39
and for whom you have worked. First, when you were a kid did you do something
00:01:45
related to music? Yes, I did. I was a singer in the choir of the Cathedral of Seville with
00:01:51
the poet and master of the chapel, Pedro Fernández de Castilleja, and the famous Francisco de
00:01:57
Peñalosa, who is the importer of code technique. Well, do you know what does people think about
00:02:01
you? Society agrees that I was the first Spanish composer of international renown. My work
00:02:09
were widely distributed in Europe and many copies made a journey to the new world. Many music writers
00:02:15
and theorists in the hundred years after my death considered my music to be among the most perfect
00:02:22
of the time. So, did you know why you were so famous? Yes, my fame was due in part to numerous testimonials
00:02:27
of those around me. The Spanish theorist Juan Bermudo declared myself the light of Spanish music
00:02:36
while in 1559 a Mexican choir, who were Spanish polyphony in particular, was quickly
00:02:42
quick to reach the new world, sang my music at a service converting the death of Charles V the
00:02:50
previous year. My fame held strong on into the 18th century when Andrea Dami, double sena,
00:02:56
biographer of many papal musicians, praised me as the papal chapel's most important composer
00:03:04
Josquin de Prez and Palestrina. And when you were older what did you do? It was a continual coming
00:03:10
and going from one cathedral to another looking for the best position and salary. In 1536 I worked
00:03:18
as a chapel master in Ávila and in 1529 in Plasencia. After a documentary gap of two years
00:03:24
in 1534 I was to applying to Fernando de Silva, count of Cisbuentes, imperial ambassador to the
00:03:33
Holy See. In 1535, I sang as a tenor in the papal chapel, and in 1540, I returned to Spain
00:03:39
only for health problems. When I traveled to Rome, I met the Pope Paul III. He took care of getting
00:03:47
me into the main choir in Rome. While I was working for him, I composed Luvillimo's Omnis Terra,
00:03:54
which achieved wide and lasting popularity. It was written to celebrate the nice truth
00:04:02
between France and Spain. I also composed Gaude et laetere ferrariense cavitas, executing the
00:04:08
cathedral of Ferrara on the occasion of the cardinal of Hippolytus II of Estes in 1539.
00:04:16
Both were very popular in France, Germany, Italy and especially in Venice.
00:04:27
That's very good help from his part to let you enter in his choir. When did you return to Spain?
00:04:31
When they threw me out of the choir. I tried to find another job in Italy, close to where he lived, but it was super difficult and I didn't find anything.
00:04:39
I decided to return to Spain and after several years looking for a place to work, I started as a choir master at the Cathedral of Toledo in 1545
00:04:50
where I replaced Andrés de Terrente.
00:05:00
Oh, very interesting. Can you tell us something else about this topic?
00:05:02
Yeah, of course. The last place I have been working, it was in Malaga Cathedral, since 1551.
00:05:06
And in 1553 I asked to be considered for the post of Chapel Master of Cathedral of Toledo,
00:05:13
where I had previously worked, but I died before, so I couldn't get it.
00:05:21
Did you have some plans for life before you died?
00:05:29
Yeah, I was sad because I wasn't able to fulfill my intention to return to Toledo.
00:05:33
What instruments have you used throughout all your life?
00:05:38
I don't like using instruments, only use the voice.
00:05:42
Wow, how curious, I agree with you.
00:05:46
Cristobal, all you have told us is very interesting.
00:05:49
However, we will call you to tell if you have got the job.
00:05:53
do you have any question no that's all right thank you have a nice afternoon goodbye
