The Golden Centuries
By the end of the 16th century, the complex voice structures characteristic of the imitative polyphony of the middle of the century had relaxed. The new generations bet on greater clarity and also on some traits of almost baroque drama, which sometimes adopted the polychoral form. It is the glorious time of the Spanish masters of the Golden Age, such as Francisco Guerrero, master of the chapel of the Cathedral of Seville, or Tomás Luis de Victoria, who worked for ten years in Rome, where he coincided with Palestrina, another of the talents of the religious music of the period. El León de Oro approaches all three with a program basically consisting of works for eight voices (that is, for two choirs) by Victoria and Palestrina including the most classical pieces at four voices by the Sevilian maestro.
