Victoria: Requiem 1605. Album by The SixteenAlbum Description All of the music from The Choral Pilgrimage 2006. This recording features the celebrated Requiem of 1605, Victoria's final composition and a work of beguiling beauty and sumptuous simplicity. It can be seen as the summation of both his art and the Spanish Renaissance tradition. The beautiful plainsong on which it is structured can be heard arching through the texture, forming a delicate and sinuous line throughout. Subtly accompanied

to clothe the same text in his own musical language of reflective beauty
