“Tomás Luis de Victoria, Santa Teresa and the Carmelite reform, the Song of Songs and other circumstances” was a program commissioned by the National Commission for the celebration of the Fifth Centenary of the birth of Santa Teresa de Jesus and released in 2015. That interpretation, nominated by GEMA for the best performance of Renaissance music, is now reflected in this recording.

​

Alternating with the plain chant of the "Angelis" Mass, on the time between the 15th and 16th centuries, various compositions by Tomás Luis de Victoria (1648-1711) are integrated, opening with the motet Quam pulchri sunt gressus tui to four voices, that puts music to the poem of the Biblical Song of Songs. The color of the ensemble, with four or five singers per voice and the support of the harp and organ, is the result of a faithful reconstruction in the sources of the 16th century.
