"This Week in Classical Music: August 31, 2026.  From Cabezon to Pärt: Four Centuries of Music.  This is an interesting week: composers with birthday anniversaries that cover much of the historical span of Western classical music and are spread geographically across Europe."

"On our list, Hernando de Cabezón is the oldest; he was born in Madrid on September 7th of 1541.  Hernando was the son of a more famous Antonio de Cabezón.  Only a few of his pieces are extant; this Dulce memoriae is one of them (and we think it’s very nice).  Rosemary Thomas is at the harpsichord (here)."

"Hernando de Cabezón never traveled to Italy, which is somewhat surprising: Italy was the place where European music was happening, and Spaniards often went to Rome to study.  Our next composer, Girolamo Frescobaldi, was not only born in Italy – he was born in Ferrara, which was then the most important musical center outside of Rome.  His birthday is in September of 1583, but the exact date is disputed; it’s either the 9th or the 13th.  From the late 15th to the end of the 16th centuries, the d’Este court of Ferrara attracted the most important composers of Europe, from Josquin des Prez to Claudio Monteverdi.  Luca Marenzio, Claudio Merulo, John Dowland from England, Giaches de Wert, Carlo Gesualdo – all visited Ferrara during that period.  Luzzasco Luzzaschi was the resident court composer, organist, manager of the famous Concerto delle Donne, and Frescobaldi’s teacher.  The young Frescobaldi became known as a virtuoso harpsichord player while still living in Ferrara (later he moved to Rome, as the popes took over the city and the court moved to Modena).  The harpsichord and organ were Frescobaldi’s favorite instruments.  Here’s Frescobaldi’s Toccata duodecima, from the Primo Libro collection."
