Cantoral de monasterio; Spanish School; c. 1593. Gouache on vellum. Presents faults. Measurements: 64 x 39 cm. The choir books, also called cantorales, chorales or choral books, are large format musical manuscripts that contain various parts of the mass and the divine office, specific to each liturgical celebration. They were used in Europe during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and their large format allowed the entire choir to read the musical notation from a distance. Although their use began to decline with the invention of the printing press, manuscript cantorales continued to be produced until the 19th century. Especially important was its development in the 15th century; from the beginning of the century a current of enrichment and renovation began in the liturgical celebrations, which led to the fact that in cathedrals, collegiate churches, abbeys and monasteries the old manual books for lecterns were progressively substituted by other larger ones for the lecterns. In this way the temples and religious centers will be endowed with new liturgical books, in the case of the richest centers illuminated books with beautiful miniatures framed within the international Gothic style, first, and already in the XVI century reflecting the new Renaissance taste. For the elaboration of the cantorales the parchment was always used, generally obtained from the skin of the sheep although in occasions, for folios of great size, the one of the deer was used. In fact, in the 16th century the parchment handicraft industry reached a great development in centers such as Granada; the parchment maker sold the folios already prepared, that is to say, polished and cut into sheets of the required size. Writers and miniaturists were involved in the composition of these choir books, and the latter would show in the 16th century the influence of the new quattrocentista style by adopting new decorative forms in the borders, in the exterior elements of the capitular letters and in the architectural backgrounds, conserving however the Flemish influence, key to the development of Spanish painting in the 15th century, in the folding of the clothing, the types and the movement of the figures. Presents faults.
