During the sixteenth century Spanish organ music was much in advance of that of Germany. In view of the fact that the Netherlands were under Spanish rule, there was a considerable interchange of artistic ideas, with the result that the music of Spain and Portugal was enriched by the influence of the Netherland school of composition, which was then at its greatest. This afternoon's programme consists of pieces by outstanding Spanish and Portuguese composers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
