Tomas Luis de Victoria: The Young Jesuit
Donald Macleod and Jeremy Summerly explore Victoria's early years, when he cut his musical teeth and studied theology.
Donald Macleod and Jeremy Summerly explore Victoria's early years when, as a chorister at Avila Cathedral, he cut his teeth as a musician, going on to start his theological education at the local Jesuit School which was endorsed by St Teresa of Avila. When his voice broke, Victoria travelled to Rome to enrol as an international boarder at the Jesuit Collegium Germanicum. Thus began a rich and varied career in the city spanning 20 years.
