Music reviews of Victoria: O Magnum Mysterium; Ascendens Christus in altumMusic Review: VICTORIOUSTomas Luis de Victoria was a Spanish priest, an acquaintance of Palestrina and Lassus. His personal style in his polyphonic masses and motets is a strongly marked one easily distinguished from those of his great contemporaries. Like Palestrina he favours relatively unbroken vocal lines and in general he also avoids the antiphonal effects adopted by the Flemish school of the period and earlier, Lassus and before Lassus Josquin. There the resemblance to Palestrina ends, for me at least. There is a `swarthy' tone to Victoria's music that does not achieve, probably does not aim at, the characteristic radiance and serenity of the Italian master, nor on the other hand the calm but depthless sorrow of his Stabat Mater. It is also a more emotional, if not quite more `extrovert' idiom than Palestrina's, and it is notable that all Victoria's masses are based on upbeat and joyful motets. |
