Victoria's Requiem is among the best-loved and most-performed
musical works of the Renaissance, and is often held to be 'a
Requiem for an age', representing the summation of golden-age
Spanish polyphony. Yet it has been the focus of surprisingly little
research. Owen Rees's multifaceted study brings together the
historical and ritual contexts for the work's genesis, the first
detailed musical analysis of the Requiem itself, and the long story
of its circulation and reception. Victoria composed this music in
1603 for the exequies of Maria of Austria, and oversaw its
publication two years later. A rich variety of contemporary
documentation allows these events - and the nature of music in
Habsburg exequies - to be reconstructed vividly. Rees then locates
Victoria's music within the context of a vast international
repertory of Requiems, much of it previously unstudied, and
identifies the techniques which render this work so powerfully
distinctive and coherent.
