Editor's info:
Francesc Valls (1665-1747) was a major figure among Catalan composers of the Baroque and made an important contribution to the theoretical thinking of his day. He left an extensive output of works, at least 9 masses, 9 Magnificats, a set of litanies and numerous motets, which usually involve double chorus, continuo and orchestral parts. He also left a sizeable number of villancicos and other popular pieces.

This CD, previously available as SY5215 on the Symphonia label, from 2004, includes seven "tonos divinos" (sacred popular songs).
