Bartomeu Càrceres

Bartomeu Càrceres (active around 1546 in the Comunitat Valenciana ) was a Valencian composer and lyricist of the Renaissance who specialized in the Catalan-Spanish musical genre of the Ensalada . He served at the Valencian courts of the Dukes of Calabria, Ferdinand of Aragon , and of Gandia , Carles de Borja . Very few biographical data are known of Càrceres.

life and work

The only reliable biographical date on Càrceres is a payment of 72 ducats to Càrceres, recorded in 1546, which identifies him as the supplier of books to the Capella of the Duke of Calabria, Ferdinand of Aragon. This amount paid to Càrceres was half the salary of the director of the court orchestra, Juan de Cepa. The Catalan Gran Enciclopèdia de la Música speculates on the basis of this document that Càrceres could have been the copyist of the court orchestra in Valencia and the copyist of the Cançoner de Gandi songbook kept in the Biblioteca de Catalunya . This songbook, which was also published in Prague in 1581 by Mateu Fletxa the Younger , contains works by Càrceres.

The songbook manuscript M1166-M1967 of the Biblioteca de Catalunya contains works by de Cepa in addition to the compositions by Càrceres. There, for example, the song Soleta y verge appears as an adaptation of a secular song from the Cancionero de Upsala (sic!), The songbook of the Duke of Calabria, in a version for three voices by Càrceres and in a version developed from it for five voices with refrain by de Cepa. In addition, Càrceres created the four-part, 300 verses in Catalan, Portuguese, Basque, Gascon and Spanish languages Ensalada La Trulla , which addresses the adoration of the baby Jesus by the shepherds in Bethlehem. Càrceres is also the lyricist of the Catalan-language poem and referee El Cant de la Sibil·la , a creed expressed in the musical form of motets and Christmas carols. The original document is kept in the Collegiate Church of Gandia.
