专辑简介
A programme of music by Tomas Luis de Victoria (1548-1611) comprising four double motets, four vespers psalms, four responsories, two Magnificats and one hymn.
The title “Paribus Vocibus” is a reference to the fact that the works on this recording are composed for voices of a similar range and can be performed by an ‘a capella’ male voice choir. It was customary in Mediterranean churches for the singing to be performed by male choirs but with a lack of trained boy singers, and women unable to participate in the mass, it was a necessity for the music to be written for adult male voices.
