Lusitano won the debate, yet his position and legacy were marginalized in history by Vincentino's. Okoye's multi-layered music calls for Lusitano to be remembered, and depicts the struggle between the two composers with a mix of African rhythms, tunes evoking Renaissance modality, and modern, biting dissonances.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Theodore Presser","offers":[{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts","offer_id":44540275425359,"sku":"114-42506","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts - Digital Download","offer_id":45248710869071,"sku":"114-42506D-PDF","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/a7502af57704a9eadec6e661ccd41f5e.jpg?v=1772664498","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/products\/okoye-lusitano-in-vicentinos-country-presser","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
