This recording combines the motet and mass Laetatus sum for triple choir with a magnificat for triple choir. Interspersed with these pieces are two hymns and two motets for smaller forces, showing a more intimate side to Victoria. All pieces were published in the early 1580s, during Victoria's stay in Rome. The triple choir pieces have instrumental doubling for two (the lower) of the choirs.
