Offertory Anthem Jesu dulcis memoria Tomás Luis da Vittoria (c.1548-c.1611)

Tomás Luis da Vittoria was the most famous Spanish composer of the Renaissance. He stands with Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Orlande de Lassus as among the principal composers of the late Renaissance, and was admired for the intensity of some of his motets. His surviving work, unlike that of his colleagues, is almost exclusively sacred and polyphonic vocal music, set to Latin texts. As a Catholic priest, as well as an accomplished organist and singer, his career spanned both Spain and Italy. However, he preferred the life of a composer to that of a performer.
