Recording project — Marcos Portugal (1762-1830): 19th century sacred music editions
August 11th 2019

The Lisbon Chamber Choir (LCC) has obtained a sponsorship from the Direcção-Geral das Artes (DGArtes) to record a new CD with four works by Marcos Portugal for soloists, choir and organ/basso continuo.

The recording intends to preserve and spread the portuguese musical heritage and it will be carried out in 2019, while celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of Queen Maria II, born at April 4th 1819 in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil.

The CD will contain four works: a “Mass” (P 01.17) from 1783-4, a “Te Deum” (P 04.08), an “O quam suavis” (P 05.11) and a “Tantum ergo” (P 04.04). The “Te Deum” was premiered in the baptismal ceremony of infante Miguel in 1802 and it was most probably also performed at the baptismal ceremony of the future Queen of Portugal in Rio de Janeiro in 1819.

The edition of the scores of these four works was done in 2017, also with the sponsorship of DGArtes, in a co-edition by BNP (Portuguese National Library), CCL, CESEM (Centro de Estudos de Sociologia e Estética Musical), ARTWAY and mpmp (Movimento Patrimonial pela Música Portuguesa).
