Juan Vasquez (c.1510-1560) was from Estremadura, and served as
Master of the Chapel of the Cathedral of Badajoz. The present
Office for the Dead is very highly regarded for its contemplative
qualities, standing well alongside Vásquez' elegantly simple
songs which have more reputation today. The present service seems
to follow the example of Morales closely, and indeed both were
written for Seville, the present example in 1550.
