Abstract

Rodrigo de Ceballos (ca. 1530-1581), a friend and colleague of Francisco Guerrerro (1528-1599) and recognized by musicologist José López-Calo as one of the greatest Spanish polyphonists of the sixteenth century, left a large and impressive body of music that has remained mostly unknown until now with the recent publication of Robert J. Snow's edition of the composer's complete works. This edition was projected to comprise five volumes of music plus a sixth dedicated to a critical study of Ceballos's life, the sources, and the music and its liturgical context. But at the time of his death in 1998, Snow had completed only the first four volumes. The fifth volume was planned to present the composer's eight settings of the Magnificat, four items from Compline, and the few known secular songs.
