String Quartet Cello,String Quartet,Viola,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1042745 Composed by Tomas Luis de Victoria. Arranged by Robert Luke Thompson. Classical,Praise & Worship,Renaissance,Sacred,Spiritual. 10 pages. Monkspath Music #647529. Published by Monkspath Music (A0.1042745). Vere Languores is a text often used in sacred motets, drawing from Isaiah 53:4, and Crux Fidelis. Tomás Luis de Victoria, an accomplished singer, organist, and Catholic priest, is an important Spanish composer of the 16th-century Counter-Reformation, alongside other heavyweight names such as the Italian composer, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. Victoria’s first book of motets (Motecta I), published in 1572, features Vere languores as the eleventh work. This arrangement has been transposed to a more strings friendly key, and where appropriate, breath marks have been suggested to align with the original text. A worthwhile addition for any concert, programme, or service, especially those in a sacred venue with impressive acoustics, such as a church or cathedral.
