Victoria's Requiem is among the best-loved and most-performed musical works of the
Renaissance, and is often held to be 'a Requiem for an age', representing the summation
of golden-age Spanish polyphony. Yet it has been the focus of surprisingly little
research. Owen Rees's multifaceted study brings together the historical and ritual
contexts for the work's genesis, the first detailed musical analysis of the Requiem
itself, and the long story of its circulation and reception. Victoria composed this
music in 1603 for the exequies of Maria of Austria, and oversaw its publication two
years later. A rich variety of contemporary documentation allows these events - and
the nature of music in Habsburg exequies - to be reconstructed vividly. Rees then
locates Victoria's music within the context of a vast international repertory of Requiems,
much of it previously unstudied, and identifies the techniques which render this work
so powerfully distinctive and coherent. -- Book jacket
