Victoria's Office of the Dead includes his second Requiem Mass, written for six-part choir. This music, often known simply as Victoria's Requiem, has been regarded as some of his finest, and one the last great works in the Renaissance polyphonic style.
Its refined and dignified austerity is shot through with passionate conviction; it glows with extraordinary fervour within a musical and spiritual atmosphere of serenity and fitness for its liturgical purpose.
Singers will find much challenge and enjoyment in its ten movements, and the music will be provided.
