Mateo Romero, music master of the Chapel Royal from 1598 to 1633, was the most important composer at the Spanish court around 1616, the year of Cervantes’s death. With the collaboration of the musicologist and performer Juan Carlos Asensio, the program reconstructs a 'Mass for the Dead' from the period, with the characteristic alternation of polyphonic works and plainchant, the latter taken from the El Escorial chant books from the beginning of the seventeenth century.
Completing the program are the Matins responsories from the Office for the Dead, which were sung during absolutions at the time, and the magnificent psalm De profundis clamavi ad te, which the priests recited or intoned while the procession to the depositio or tomb of the deceased took place.
