Tomás Luis de Victoria (sometimes Italianised as “da Vittoria” (1548 – 27 August 1611) was the most famous Composer in 16th-Century Spain, and was one of the most important Composers of The Counter-Reformation, along with Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Orlando di Lasso.

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.[1]
