Tomás Luis de Victoria, sometimes Italianised as "da Vittoria" (1548 – 1611), was the most famous composer of the 16th-Century in Spain, and one of the most important composers of the Counter-Reformation, along with Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Orlando di Lasso (Lassus). Victoria was not only a composer, but also an accomplished organist and singer, as well as a Catholic Priest. However, he preferred the life of a composer to that of a performer. He is sometimes known as the "Spanish Palestrina", because he may have been taught by Palestrina.
