Sojourn to golden-age Spain and revel in Tomás Luis de Victoria’s masterwork. Considered a “requiem for an age”—the pinnacle of Spain’s Renaissance period—this mass was composed on the death of Holy Roman Empress Mariá in Madrid. Victoria, one of her personal chaplains, received the duty of arranging music for her funeral. Composed in 1603, Victoria’s requiem is known for its expressive polyphony.
