The great Spanish composer and priest, Tomas Luis de Victoria, devoted his life to writing supremely uplifting and intense music throughout the church calendar. This is a collection of his joyous and passionate music.
The Call of the Beloved includes some of the earliest triple-choir music ever to be published and is a reminder of Victoria's joyous and assionate music, complementing his more austere Requiem and music for Holy Week.
