Yorkshire Bach Choir
Ben Horden organ
Peter Seymour conductor

The sonorities and vivid colour of the Spanish Renaissance form one of the great glories of the choral repertoire. This concert features Victoria’s Officium Defunctorum of 1603, filled with harmonic inventiveness and subtle expressiveness. What is possibly the most accomplished Requiem setting of its epoch is complemented with a sequence of Antiphons and Psalms published around the same time.
