Interpreters, critics, Historians and lovers of Renaissance sacral music have praised and recognized the importance and quality of the hebdomadae sanctae by Tomás Luis de Victoria. Even the great musicologist Samuel Rubio defined his eighteen responsories as a true altarpiece of the passion of Christ..
This masterpiece is composed with a deep sensitivity towards the passion and atmosphere of darkness of Holy Week.. The different compositions reflect the emotional and spiritual intensity of this liturgical period, capturing both the solemnity and tragedy of the crucifixion and the hope and redemption associated with the resurrection.
Victoria uses harmonies and musical textures to convey a wide range of emotions, from anguish and pain to serenity and hope, creating a deeply moving musical experience.
