Siglo de Oro

Siglo de Oro is a British vocal ensemble specializing in vibrant performances of Renaissance and Baroque sacred music, particularly from Spain’s "Golden Age" and its colonial influences in Latin America. Led by conductor Patrick Allies, the group unearths overlooked gems from the 16th and 17th centuries, blending rich polyphony with historical storytelling. Their recordings, like *The Mysterious Motet Book of 1539* and *Christmas in Puebla*, showcase their knack for reviving intricate works by composers such as Morales, Guerrero, and even anonymous creators from forgotten manuscripts. With a warm, expressive sound, they’ve become go-to interpreters of this repertoire, whether performing solemn Mass movements or festive colonial villancicos. Their releases often highlight thematic connections between European and Latin American traditions, making ancient music feel fresh and spiritually resonant.
