Music and Musicians in the Escorial Liturgy under the Habsburgs, 1563-1700 (Eastman Studies in Music) Book

Philip II of Spain founded the great Spanish monastery and royal palace of El Escorial in 1563, promoting within it a musical foundation whose dual function as royal chapel and monastery in the service of a Counter Reformation monarch was unique; this volume explores the performance and composition of liturgical music there from its beginnings to the death of Charles II in 1700.
