The Sacred Music journey continues with this special celebration marking the 400th anniversary of the death of the Spanish composer
Tomas Luis de Victoria. One of the greatest choral composer of the Renaissance, Victoria devoted his life to the church and his music
is profoundly spiritual. Interwoven with Victorias music, this documentary follows Simon Russell Beale as he takes us through the life
and times of Victoria. Harry Christophers and his award-winning ensemble, The Sixteen, perform Victorias music in the glorious setting
of the Church of San Antonio de los Alemanes in Madrid, founded in 1606 by Philip III in Victoria's lifetime.

Born in 1548, Tomas Luis de Victoria was fortunate to live at the height of the Counter-Reformation, at a time of great vitality in the Roma
Church. Music and musicians played a prominent role in encouraging religious regeneration, so there were many opportunities for a musician
of Victorias talent. Victoria devoted his life to the service of God and the music performed in this programme opens a window onto the world
of this intensely spiritual man scholar, mystic, priest, singer, organist and composer - six persons all rolled into one. This is an opportunity to
celebrate his life and his creations, some of the most glorious work of the late Renaissance and the Spanish Golden Age.
