The office of Tenebrae, from the liturgy of Holy Week, has always fascinated the public and, above all, offered a fertile terrain for composers to exercise their gifts. Such was the case with Victoria, whose exclusively sacred output, nourished by the multiple influences of his years in Rome, offers a place of choice to Tenebrae settings. These Responsories display unparalleled expressive power and amply justify his reputation as the greatest polyphonist of the Spanish Renaissance.
