Beautiful documentary, thank you Dionisio
This is a documentary about Tomas Luis de Victoria [1548 – 1611], a Spanish composer of sacred music known by many as the best composer of the entire renaissance period. I'm not catholic but this music is really impressive (I believe in God though), and I'm captivated by how, we humans, can do really magnificent things.
Enjoy. (I highly recommend to use a good pair of headphones)

Wow, you are correct, very beautiful indeed!, haven't heard this one, thanks. I think it belongs to the late medieval to mid renaissance, probably Sephardic (Jews who lived in Spain), I'm gonna do some research though, I need the lyrics.
