I was born in 1548 in San Cidrian, Ávila. Nowadays I would be 473 years old.
00:00:02
I am son of Francisco Luis de Vitoria and Francisca Suárez de la Concha.
00:00:13
My father died when I was 9 years old. My brothers and I went to live with my uncle.
00:00:18
Due to the inheritance, we did not have poorness in our family
00:00:25
and I could acquire my first formation of general culture and music
00:00:30
in the prestigious Jesuit school of San Gil.
00:00:36
And later, in the Cathedral Musical Chapel,
00:00:40
I accepted it like a co-boy with 10 years old.
00:00:44
Hello, I'm Antonio de Cabezón,
00:00:50
and with Bernardino de Rivera, Juan Navarro and other organists,
00:00:53
we taught Thomas Blythu Victoria in 1565 I went to the Germanic school in Rome
00:00:56
because I was recommended by San Gilles school and from the Germanic school I
00:01:05
would receive the support of my two principal sponsors Felipe II and
00:01:11
the Cardinal Archbishop Otto von Truches in this period I entered the Roman
00:01:16
college where I was studying ecclesiastical studies. After four years of training, I practiced
00:01:24
from January 1569 as a chapel master, singer, and organist in a Spanish institution. The
00:01:32
Catalan Aragonese Church of Santa Maria di Monserrato in Rome and simultaneously in the
00:01:40
Santissima Trinita dei Pellegrini as a singer and in San Giacomo degli Spagnoli as a musician.
00:01:46
In 1571, I received the desired offer from the Germanic College. Two years later, there
00:01:56
was the offer to occupy the position of Master Chapel of the Roman Seminary Saxon in Palestina.
00:02:04
I accepted both positions.
00:02:12
During my tenure as a teacher at the Germanic College, an important event occurred.
00:02:16
I composed for the occasion a motet, the Superflumina Babylonis, which is a thing of recognition
00:02:21
of the role that the music of the teacher played in this institution.
00:02:30
In 1576, my first book on Masses was called Collegii Germanici in Urbe Roma Musicae Modera
00:02:35
.
00:02:45
I was aspired to another of my great most personal desires, the priesthood, and soon
00:02:50
I get it.
00:02:56
In 1575, I have installed as a priest in the church of Santo Tomas de Canterbury in Rome.
00:02:58
having passed all the requirements for it, from the minor orders to the priesthood through
00:03:05
subdeaconate and deaconate.
00:03:14
All this I achieved in six months and at the age of 27.
00:03:17
I had so many jobs, this forced me to abandon some of them, such as the Church of Montserrat.
00:03:24
After obtaining the priesthood, I decided to dedicate myself more to the spiritual realm
00:03:32
and the musical composition than to the exercise as a chapelmaster or organist.
00:03:40
This new battle focus made me leave the Germanic College to join, in 1578, the community of
00:03:47
secular priest of San Felipe Neri in Girolamo de la Carita as chaplain until 1585.
00:03:54
There I maintained an intense spiritual life, with personal contact with Felipe Neri and
00:04:05
the institution and submission to very different rules than those that have governed his life
00:04:12
until then.
00:04:19
In 1587, I returned to Spain.
00:04:25
I am the Empress Maria and I offered to Thomas to join my personal chapel in the Monastery
00:04:32
of the Royal Belfort of Santa Clara in Madrid.
00:04:38
I passed away in 1603.
00:04:42
Thomas left the Magisterium and took the position of organist of the Monastery.
00:04:45
My health began to weaken in these years and I asked Felipe III for an organist assistant.
00:04:52
On August 27, 1611, I died of illness.
00:04:58
Famous work, Officium defunctorum.
00:05:05
It was written for the funeral of Empress Maria, in whose services the composer was
00:05:08
chaplain of the Monastery of Las Descarzas de Madrid.
00:05:13
This Gregorian paraphrase is the last of his edited works.
00:05:18
The work includes the corresponding parts of the Mass for Death to which Tomás Ruiz added a lecture in four voices on text of Job,
00:05:23
the motet Versa es in lectum with text by the same author and the responsory Liberami.
00:05:33
Anecdote
00:05:54
It was the year 1600 when Tomás was in the courtyard of the Monastery of Las Descalzas.
00:05:55
He was resting in the shade of an oak with birds singing.
00:06:02
As it was a hot day, he didn't expect visitors, but suddenly the door opened and William Beard appeared.
00:06:06
Thomas was surprised because he was one of the best English composers.
00:06:14
Hello, I'm William Beard. Do you want to compose a work with me?
00:06:22
Yes, of course. Stay with me in the monastery to better compose the work.
00:06:27
Okay, but I have to go to my bedroom where I stayed for my things.
00:06:34
We could do it in secret and later give it to the Empress Maria of Austria.
00:06:39
Months passed, and William and Thomas became great friends.
00:06:45
It took them 15 months to compose the 29th masterpiece.
00:06:50
Look, Empress, this masterpiece is for you.
00:06:55
Oh, thank you. I will give you a financial reward.
00:07:00
And you could do another work, but more romantic.
00:07:04
When they left the monastery, William went directly to a tavern
00:07:09
where he spent all the money that the empress had granted him
00:07:13
without thinking about the consequences.
00:07:17
When they both arrived at the monastery to compose the second masterpiece,
00:07:20
Thomas, I spent all my money in the tavern.
00:07:25
I am going to lend you part of my money because we are great friends,
00:07:29
But you have to promise me that you will not spend it on unnecessary things again.
00:07:34
Okay, I promise you.
00:07:40
After this incident, they started to compose a new work that Empress Maria told them to do for her.
00:07:41
Some months later...
00:07:48
Sirius, I'm falling ill and this illness has not a cure.
00:07:50
Okay, we are going to hurry up.
00:07:57
For you can listen to our masterpiece.
00:08:00
Two weeks later...
00:08:03
We have the work.
00:08:04
I want to hear it.
00:08:06
One day later she fell asleep and never woke up again.
00:08:08
At least she passed away happily because she loved our work.
00:08:12
They were very sad because of her death,
00:08:17
but one month later many people started listening to it.
00:08:20
That encouraged them to continue composing together.
00:08:24
Some years later I started to get weaker
00:08:28
and William Byrd returned to his house in England.
00:08:32
So we could not do more works together.
