With this project, designed for festive events, Quatricinia proposes a programme of musical contrasts. On the one side, Renaissance and Baroque melodies from the times of the Spanish Golden Age (the latter half of the 16th to the first half of the 17th century), written by composers such as Juan Hidalgo, Mateo Romero, Martín y Coll or Cristóbal Galán and including pieces preserved in the collections Cancionero de Upsala and Cancionero de Palacio. On the other side, the programme offers a choice of Spanish traditional music, including many examples of the famous Pasodobles as well as compositions of Antonio Álvarez Alonso and Pascual Marquina, among others. For this programme, Quatricinia uses modern instruments.
