Renaisance Man: Tomás Luis da Victoria

This week's Composer of the Week is a Spanish composer of polyphonic church music. Tomás Luis da Victoria was a priestly composer. In otherwards he would have treated my ancestors badly. He was an original Jesuit.

There is something quite new agey about polyphonic music with its choirs of sliding voices. Give it a listen.
