The album In terra aliena (In foreign territory) includes songs that tell of exile and longing for the land that had to be abandoned due to war, expulsion and other dangers & threats.rr

The songs also testify to a different kind of exile, the alienation that the unfamiliar new environment brings.rr

Migration is off all times, and certainly not just a phenomenon of the present. This album's music addresses the mindset of people from another time, the 16th century. In 1492, Columbus arrived in America and Spain conquered the Nazare dynasty of Granada, putting an end to the Muslim rule on the peninsula. In that same year, the Jews were driven out of Spain or forced to convert to Christianity. All this caused Muslims and Jews to flee to the north of Africa. Roman Catholics from Castile and Aragon left for America. Large numbers of seafarers and invaders were never to return to the peninsula.rr

Given all this, we can say that there were enough reasons for poetry, and consequently song, to introduce a new leitmotif, namely 'in foreign territory'. Those who are exiled, loose everything familiar and loved in one fell swoop. The same thing happens to anyone who knocks on a closed heart in vain: a lonely journey from everything to nothing. These are just some of the subjects of the songs recorded in the famous Spanish and Portuguese songbooks of the period such as the Cancionero Musical de Palacio and Cancionero Musical de Lisboa. On the album In terra aliena gems from these songbooks by composers as Juan del Encina, Francisco de Penalosa, Pedro de Escobar as well as anonymous composers, all of whom excellently expressed in sound the theme of alienation and the fragility of life 'In foreign territory'.rr

Musica Tempranarr

Musica Temprana explores the repertoire from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, not only in Latin America, but also from sources of the Spanish Empire of that era. Through this Musica Temprana wishes to map the musical development in Latin America from the moment the first conquistadores set foot in the New World up to the coming of age of baroque music on Latin American soil itself.rr

The ensemble's repertoire is mostly the result of own research by the founder and conductor Adrian Rodriguez Van der Spoel. Since the first concert in 2001 the ensemble released eight albums and organized performances in important festivals, such as the Festival Oude Muziek in Utrecht, Trigonale in Austria, the Early Music Festival in Stockholm, the Mozart Festival in Rovereto, Italy, and Musica Sacra in Maastricht.

Arvoles Iloran por Iluvias

Que mayor desventura

Ay, luna que reluzes!

Vi los barcos, madre

Como puedo yo vivir?

Parto triste y saludoso

Ay, de mi, qu'en tierra agena!

Aleph. Quomodo obscuratum est aurum

Triste esta la gentil dama

No soy yo quien veis vivir

O castillo de Montanges

Hermitano quiero ser

Acabarseam mis plazeres

A tierras agenas

Soledad tengo de ti

Paseisme'oralla, serrana
