Duarte Lobo

Duarte Lobo’s name sits prominently beside two others, those of Manuel Cardoso and Filipe de Magalhãsera. Together, these were the most well-known and celebrated Portuguese composers of their era. Coincidentally or not really, most of them examined under the similarly renowned Manuel Mendes. Blessed in Alcáçovas (regarding to unverified resources), Lobo examined Mendes whilst a choir guy at Évora Claustra da Sé, the cloister college from the Évora cathedral. Someplace before 1589, he became maestro di cappella at a healthcare facility True, Lisbon, obtaining, in 1591, the same post at Lisbon Cathedral. It had been probably one of the most illustrious musical sessions in the united states. He held that work until at least 1639, where period he also offered as director from the Seminário de St. Bartolomeu there, and trained in the Lisbon Claustra da Sé. Like Manuel Cardoso, Lobo utilized a sophisticated, Palestrinian counterpoint to get more instant, expressive ends. In his extremely pleasing compositions, extra expressive strength can be attained through thoroughly placed extensions from the rhythmic and harmonic properties from the idiom.
