Francisco Gómez de Sandoval y Rojas, Duke of Lerma, was the powerful favourite, or valido, of Philip III of Spain. His credentials as a patron of the arts, however, cannot be disputed: his portrait was painted by Rubens in 1603 and it was during the early years of the century that he rebuilt the village of Lerma according to his ideal of court splendour. The archives of the church of San Pedro de Lerma contain valuable manuscripts which present a fascinating look into the repertoire and performance practices at the time. This programme draws on music found in these archives and features vocal and instrumental music by Guerrero, Lobo, Rogier, and others.
