José de Nebra and Francisco Corselli were two of the most important composers in Spain during the 18th Century. They both worked at the Royal Chapel in Madrid, writing many works to supply the archive with new music. In this programme we present Nebra's 6 voices mass "Servite Domino in Letitia" written in 1754 for Ferdinand VI and Bárbara de Braganza. This central piece is surrounded by solo cantatas by Francisco Corselli and instrumental works by Nebra.
