2025 Симпозиум священной музыки: Брошюра участника

To make the sting more painful, the chapters orders that neither “Francisco Guerrero nor any other singer shall sit in any seat anywhere in the choir enclosure, nor on any bench that is reserved for beneficed clergymen during sermons.” In thus downgrading Guerrero to a mere singer, the chapter of course disgraces him in the eyes of the very singers whom he has hitherto conducted. […] Dean Padilla and Canon Carrillo are deputed to visit Guerrero with an official scolding. But he is not to be demoted, nor fined 300 ducats, as the chapter had in anger decided upon doing the previous Saturday.
