Missa O magnum mysterium - Sanctus

Tomás Luis de Victoria (sometimes spelled 'da Vittoria') (1548 -- August 20, 1611) was a Spanish composer of the late Renaissance. He was the most famous composer of the 16th century in Spain, and one of the most important composers of the Counter-Reformation, along with Palestrina, Orlando de Lassus, and William Byrd.

Victoria is the most significant composer of the Counter-Reformation in Spain, and one of the best-regarded composers of sacred music in the late Renaissance, a genre to which he devoted himself exclusively. His works have undergone a revival in the 20th century, with numerous recent recordings. Many commentators hear in his music a mystical intensity and direct emotional appeal, qualities considered by some to be lacking in the arguably more rhythmically and harmonically placid music of Palestrina.

My Pleasure :)

I think the shroud of Turin was not of Jesus Christ, but of one head of the Knights Templar.

da Vittoria, Palestrina, Allegri alongside the canon of Gregorian chant  remind me of how wonderful the human voice is & the most majestic of all musical instruments.

Following pollen tests & a plethora of others linking it to all the places it is reputed to have rested, The Holy Shroud of Turin is most certainly that of Our Blessed Lord Jesus.

must be an English choir, by the sound of it. though voices are superb, the conducting leaves much to be desired. it is made to sound very pop while has the potential for great solemnity and depth only if the conductor got the tempi of parts and the pauses between somewhat better coordinated

Very beautifull but sounds overdriven on my computer.

Well done! I really can't think of words to say how elegant this sounds. Does anyone know what choir sang this and if there are other recordings available from this choir as well?
