Alonso Lobo, born in 1555 in the Spanish town of Osuna, was a renowned composer of the late Renaissance, though his fame has been somewhat overshadowed by his contemporary, Tomás Luis de Victoria. Lobo's musical journey began as a choirboy at Seville Cathedral under the tutelage of the esteemed Francisco Guerrero. His compositional prowess is evident in works such as the 'Missa Maria Magdalene', a masterful parody of Guerrero's Easter motet that showcases Lobo's skill in creating rich, six-part textures. Despite his music being relatively less recorded, it consistently captivates audiences with its depth and beauty. Lobo's contributions to choral music are a testament to his enduring talent and his rightful place among the greats of the Renaissance era.
