Responsories for Tenebrae
Album by Tomás Luis de Victoria & Westminster Cathedral Choir & David Hill
Responsories for Tenebrae is a collection of liturgical responsories by Spanish Renaissance composer Tomás Luis de Victoria, published in 1585. The pieces are a cappella polyphonic settings for the Holy Week office, characterised by expressive modal harmony, close text setting and contrasting textures, and they occupy an important place in Victoria's late-Renaissance sacred output and the broader tradition of Iberian polyphony.
First released: April 1989
