All Music Guide - James Manheim
With this collection of seventeenth-century music from Mexico, Andrew Lawrence-King and the Harp Consort offer that rare performance that's both intellectually challenging and terrifically fun. The disc includes a mass by Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla, a Spanish composer who came to Puebla, Mexico, to take a post at the city's magnificent cathedral. Lawrence-King fragments the mass into its individual movements and intersperses secular pieces among them, aiming to demonstrate -- well, what exactly? The album, Lawrence-King warns, is "a musical exploration, not a liturgical reconstruction"; the Padilla mass would never have been performed this way, although some of the secular...

All Music Guide - James Manheim
With this collection of seventeenth-century music from Mexico, Andrew Lawrence-King and the Harp Consort offer that rare performance that's both intellectually challenging and terrifically fun. The disc includes a mass by Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla, a Spanish composer who came to Puebla, Mexico, to take a post at the city's magnificent cathedral. Lawrence-King fragments the mass into its individual movements and intersperses secular pieces among them, aiming to demonstrate -- well, what exactly? The album, Lawrence-King warns, is "a musical exploration, not a liturgical reconstruction"; the Padilla mass would never have been performed this way, although some of the secular xácaras might indeed have had a liturgical function. Instead, writes Lawrence-King in the liner notes, the mass "breathes the spirit of the dance," a spirit especially strong in the music's New World surroundings. The hearer may or may not agree -- dance rhythms were part and parcel of the language of seventeenth-century music -- but what's impressive is how interesting Lawrence-King makes the question seem. The secular pieces collected on Missa mexicana are revelations, including not only the semi-dramatic marizápalos, but also African- and Amerindian-inflected pieces. Each new twist Lawrence-King reveals as the album goes along draws the listener deeper into an almost unknown musical world, and even if the African cumbées song comes off sounding a bit like an old hootenanny rendition of "Wimoweh" in the Harp Consort's version, the sequence of events is compelling and entertaining. The extension of the early music movement into the semi-popular repertories that surround manifestations of "art" music has both enlivened concerts and enhanced our understanding of a great deal of music. With this brilliantly conceived disc, Lawrence-King and the Harp Consort break new ground in the genre.
