Representing nearly thirty years of research by one of the leading
scholars in the field, this series of in-depth studies examines
selected aspects of the music of the great Spanish composer in the
late Renaissance, TomA!s Luis de Victoria. Presenting new insights
into both the musical style and language and the compositional
procedure of this contemporary of Palestrina, Lasso and Byrd,
Eugene Cramer illuminates the extent to which Victoria's
compositions are musically related. The book reveals that the
falsobordone or fabordA(3)n played a much larger role in Victoria's
music than has previously been thought. Cramer also demonstrates
that Victoria's parody or imitation technique, especially in
respect to his Masses of 1592, extended the parameters that are
generally thought to be characteristic of works of this type. Of
special interest is the discussion of thirty-eight works, including
thirty-four psalm settings that are attributed to Victoria in
extant manuscript sources. Extensively illustrated with over 130
musical examples, these studies will not only interest the serious
student of sacred music, but also the performer, both the singer
and the conductor alike.
