VICTORIAAAAAA. I don't think I've ever sung anything by him that I didn't adore.

A fabulous video!! I really appreciate the longer musical examples!! Thank you so much for this!!🌺
Wow. Amazing… I play classical guitar and I can see how this early writing may have influenced Bach in his fugues, per say. Sacred music is so divine.

Definitely, Bach absolutely took inspiration from Renaissance music.
are you aware of any 6 voice digitized manuscripts from this period that are available online? i would imagine that the adding of voices in this period, even with the printing press, created a financial barrier for production. was the music of Victoria limited to big rich cathedrals in spain, or would this be available to smaller and mid-sized churches as well?

www.cpdl.org is your friend. Just go to "music scores" on the left, and the subcategory "voicing" As far as where Victoria's music would have been sung, after publication it would have been performed by whatever church could pay for the music, regardless of size. This could include the chapels of the nobility.
Anytime I hear a Protestant or Secular person describe the Inquisition, I cringe. He mentions the "Spanish inquisition" as if he knows anything about it. Stick to music, please.

Yeah, I agree. Black Legend at its highest. It´s also quite common to speak of Spain in the XVI-XVIII centuries in a sort of mocking way, as if it was Spain who parted with Europe, when in fact it was the rest of European nations who parted with Europe, with its tradition and faith.

Well....i didn't expect that!!
I CAN NOT BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T EVEN MENTION CRISTOBAL DE MORALES. I'm out of my mind for this omission. You could have spared some minutes of the Guerrero's piece. If you thought there was no time to play some of Morales' output, at least you could have mentioned his name in the coda of your video. Talking about Spanish Renaissance music without even mentioning Morales is like talking about Italian Opera without speaking about Puccini. His requiem mass is universally considered one of the wonders of western music. There's no excuse, really. Unsuscribing, this glaring omission really, really got me.
