Сходство Виванко на оригинальной обложке его Liber Magnificarum

Себастьян де Виванко (ок. 1551 в Авиле - 26 октября 1622 года в Саламанке ) был испанским священником и композитором эпохи Возрождения .

Жизнь

Виванко родился в Авиле, как Томас Луис де Виктория ; Однако точная дата его рождения неизвестна. Предполагается, что он родился через несколько лет после Виктории и что они оба знали друг друга как детей и пели вместе в часовне собора Авилы . В то время, когда Виванко пел в хоре, Маэстри Ди Капелла были Геронимо де Эспинар , Бернардино де Рибера (1559) и Хуан Наварро Хиспаленсис (1563). Этот последний композитор оказал наиболее глубокое влияние на Виванко. После 1566 года, с изменением его голоса, Виванко начал учиться в качестве священника, как это сделала Виктория.

Около 1576 года, будучи еще субдеоконом , он был назван Маэстро ди Каппеллой в соборе Лериды, но вскоре после этого, 4 июля 1576 года, он был уволен с этой должности. По возвращении в Кастилье , в феврале 1577 года, он был назван Маэстро ди Каппеллой в соборе Сеговии , на должность более высокого престижа и оплаты, чем в предыдущих. Он переехал туда со своей матерью и оставался там в течение следующих десяти лет. В течение этого периода он стал дьяконом , а затем в 1581 году был рукоположен в качестве священника.

In 1588, he returned to his native city, Ávila, in order to take charge of the cathedral chapel. He remained here until 1602, when he took possession of the position of maestro di cappella at the Cathedral of Salamanca. This was his last position and the most important to his musical contributions. His three publications were printed during his time in this city. On February 19, 1603, he became professor of music at the University of Salamanca, and on March 4 of the same year, he received the degree of Master of Arts honoris causa. Vivanco was occupied with his position in the cathedral of the university until his death, on October 26, 1622.

Work

The bulk of Vivanco's surviving work was published in three books in Salamanca between 1607 and 1610 by the printer Artus Taberniel of Antwerp, who by then was the official printer of the University of Salamanca. The books contain a selection probably chosen by the composer himself of his best pieces, spanning over 40 years of work. The books are:

• Liber magnificarum. Published in 1607. Contains 18 versions of the Magnificat. Consists of 270 pages in choral format. The cover page contains a likeness of the composer kneeling before a crucifix. It is considered his most important work.
• Libro de misas. Published in 1608. Three extant copies are known, one of which is in the Church of Santa Maria la Mayor de Ledesma, Salamanca, and two other fragments in Granada and Seville. It contains 10 masses:
  • Missa Assumpsit Jesus, (5v)
  • Missa in festo Beata Maria Virgine, (4v)
  • Missa Beata Virgine in sabbato, (4v)
  • Missa Crux fidelis, (6v)
  • Missa Doctor bonus, (4v)
  • Missa In manus tuas, (8v)
  • Missa O quam suavis es, Domine, (4v)
  • Missa quarti toni, (4v)
  • Missa sexti toni, (4v)
  • Missa super octos tonos, (4v)
• Libro de motetes. Published in 1610. Two copies survive, one in the Cathedral of Salamanca and the other in the Cathedral of Segovia. Both are incomplete. However, the copy in Salamanca is only missing a few pages, and approximately 70 motets remain.

Another book of motets was also printed in Salamanca in 1614, by Francisco de Ceatesa. The only known copy of this edition is held in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico. It contains 74 motets and is similar to the book published in 1610.

Other works are extant in various manuscripts, though their identification and cataloguing has yet to be completed. Among the manuscripts are:

• Two choral books copied for the Monastery of Guadalupe, in Extremadura, copied at the beginning of the 17th century. They contain:
  • 3 masses:
    • Missa Tu es vas electionis
    • Misa para dias feriados
    • Missa de Requiem taciturna
  • Portions of the office for the dead
  • A version of the hymn Vexilla regis for Passiontide
  • 3 Lamentations of Jeremiah for Holy Week
  • 2 small pieces
• Various manuscripts from the beginning of the 17th century pertaining to the Cathedral of Salamanca, containing motets and hymns.
