Un motete para las exequias del rey Felipe II en Granada (1598)

El 21 de octubre de 1598, se celebraron en la capilla real de Granada las exequias del rey Felipe II. Es probable que para esa ocasión Luis de Aranda, maestro de capilla de vecina catedral, compusiera su motete Quomodo sedet sola, el cual se ha conservado en una sola fuente de la primera de esas instituciones y que pudo interpretarse en las dos durante unas ceremonias fúnebres de las que contamos con una información muy escasa. On 21 October 1598, the funeral of King Philip II was held in the royal chapel of Granada. It is likely that Luis de Aranda, chapel master of the neighbouring cathedral, composed his motet Quomodo sedet sola for the occasion. This motet has been preserved in a single source from the former institution and may have been performed in both during the funeral ceremonies, about which we have very little information.
