ANCHO ALVAREZ has probably done more for Roman Catholic polyphony than any other person. I have been trying to let others know about what he’s done since 2003, when I posted this button. (Hey, I know it’s not much, but that’s all I could do at the time!) It was my honor to conduct the following interview with Mr. Alvarez. To keep the flow going, I decided not to link to any scores, since all are available at his websites:
* * COLLECTION OF SCORES • Tomás Luis de Victoria
* * COLLECTION OF SCORES • Cristóbal de Morales
* * COLLECTION OF SCORES • Francisco Guerrero
* * ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS • Part Books
One of our readers—a father of four originally from Mexico whose wife is a great singer—assisted with the English translation, and we are grateful to him!
