Little is known of Francisco Valls prior to his appointment in 1696 as joint chapelmaster at Barcelona Cathedral. The award of such an important and lucrative post shows that Valls already enjoyed a considerable reputation.
The Mass ‘Scala Aretina’ was first performed in 1702, and was something of a cause célèbre in its day, as it contradicted the then acceptable rules of harmony. The original full score is lost, and the parts survive in one set only. The first performance in modern times was by the artists featured on this CD, at the Barcelona International Music Festival in October 1978.
