Composer/Series: Officium Hebdomadae Sanctae
Description
Tomas Louis de Victoria is one of the best Spanish composers of all time and his Officium Hebdomadae Sanctae is his most important major work. In this collection, Victoria sets the Holy Week celebrations from Palm Sunday to Good Friday to music. The monumental work includes eighteen responsories, nine laments of the prophet Jeremiah, two passions, motets, hymns and other liturgical texts in polyphonic vocal settings.
The ensemble La Colombina, together with the Gregorian chant specialists of the Schola Antiqua, has the merit of having recorded this work for the first time in its entirety and within its liturgical context.
This famous recording was made as a live recording in April 2005, was out of print in recent years and is now available again as a re-release on 3 CDs.
