400th Anniversary of Tomas Luis de Victoria
The Tallis Scholars have waited a long time to celebrate the anniversary of this most loved of High Renaissance composers. Unlike his great contemporaries, Palestrina and Lassus, Victoria lived into the 17th century, only writing his greatest work - the six-voice Requiem - in 1605. By that time he had come to represent an entire school of composers, epitomising intensely spiritual Spanish expression.
As part of the celebrations for the 400th Anniversary of Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548--1611) in 2011, Gimell and The Tallis Scholars released a video on YouTube of the First Lamentation for Maundy Thursday.
