[en] This volume of studies devoted to Tom?s Luis de Victoria (1548?-1611) contains 28 articles written by distinguished specialists in sixteenth-century Spanish music in general and Victoria in particular, and several contributions by young musicologists. These essays, half of which are in English and the other half in Spanish, have been divided into six sections. The first consists of studies of the sources of Victoria?s music and of works or groups of works such as his masses, motets, hymns, magnificats, psalms, antiphons, lamentations or the Officium defunctorum. The second is made up of various analytical approaches to his musical language and the style of his music from many different points of view including tonal structures, formal design, the use of dissonance and musical rhetoric. The third, of particular interest to performers, consists of three extensive studies examining aspects of plainchant and the liturgy in Victoria?s output, the organ in his music and the performance implications that can be deduced from an exhaustive comparative study of different sources of his works. The fourth discusses issues relating to his biography, especially his early years in ?vila and his late years at the Descalzas Reales monastery, as well as considering his place in the canon of Spanish sacred polyphony of his time and to what extent this canon may have conditioned his training. The fifth features four studies in the area of historiography and reception dealing with Victoria?s strong inclusion in the English choral tradition, his place in the German historiographical tradition and analyses the work of two Spanish musicologists on Victoria, both of whom spent a significant part of their lives studying the composer: Felipe Pedrell (1841-1922) and Samuel Rubio (1912-1986). Finally, the last section examines miscellaneous aspects of Victoria?s presence in Spanish music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

[es] Este volumen de estudios dedicados a Tom?s Luis de Victoria (1548?-1611) re?ne veintiocho art?culos de destacados especialistas en la m?sica espa?ola del siglo XVI en general y en Victoria en particular, al lado de algunas contribuciones de j?venes music?logos. Estos trabajos, la mitad en ingl?s y la otra mitad en castellano, se han agrupado en seis apartados. El primero consiste en estudios de fuentes de la m?sica de Victoria y de obras o conjuntos de obras como sus misas, motetes, himnos, magn?ficats, salmos, ant?fonas, lamentaciones o el Officium defunctorum. El segundo est? formado por diferentes aproximaciones anal?ticas a su lenguaje musical y al estilo de su m?sica desde puntos de vista tan diversos como las estructuras tonales, el dise?o formal, el uso de la disonancia y la ret?rica musical. El tercero es de particular inter?s para los int?rpretes, pues consta de tres amplios trabajos en los que se estudian aspectos del canto llano y la liturgia en la obra de Victoria, el ?rgano en su m?sica y las implicaciones interpretativas que se desprenden de un detallado estudio comparativo de distintas fuentes de sus obras. El cuarto trata cuestiones relacionadas con su biograf?a, en especial sus primeros a?os en ?vila y los ?ltimos en el convento de las Descalzas Reales, a la vez que se considera su posici?n en el canon de la polifon?a sacra espa?ola de su tiempo y en qu? medida este canon pudo condicionar su formaci?n. El quinto agrupa cuatro estudios de historiograf?a y recepci?n en los que se aborda la fuerte inserci?n de Victoria en la tradici?n coral inglesa, su lugar dentro de la tradici?n historiogr?fica alemana y se analiza la obra relacionada con Victoria de los dos music?logos espa?oles que dedicaron una parte importante de su vida al estudio del polifonista: Felipe Pedrell (1841-1922) y Samuel Rubio (1912-1986). Finalmente, el ?ltimo apartado trata aspectos miscel?neos de la permanencia de Victoria en la m?sica espa?ola de los siglos XX y XXI.
