Victoria — Requiem of 1605
Skylark sings Tomás Luis de Victoria's Officium defunctorum, the six-voice Requiem he published in 1605 after writing it for the funeral of the Dowager Empress Maria of Austria, whom Victoria served as chaplain at the Descalzas Reales convent in Madrid. The Grammy-nominated ensemble, directed by Matthew Guard, gives it at Chestnut Hill and Newburyport before taking it to the Hispanic Society in New York.
