Ghersem, Patiño | Motet and mass Benedicam Dominum

We publish in this volume the Mass for 16 voices Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore by Carlos Patiño (1600-1675), chapel master of the Royal Chapel during the reigns of Felipe IV and Carlos II. Patiño's work is a "parody mass" or "imitation mass" that uses the materials of the motet Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore by Géry de Ghersem (ca. 1573/5 - 1630), who was singer in the Royal Chapel at the end of of the reign of Felipe II and, later, lieutenant master of the Royal Chapel at the beginning of the reign of Felipe III. The 2nd choir of the mass requires an alto voice and a instrumental ensemble (alto, tenor and bass).
