Documentación de Tomás Luis de Victoria en la catedral de León (1591-1602)

A rare glimpse into the administrative and musical legacy of Tomás Luis de Victoria at León Cathedral (1591–1602) emerges from transcribed chapter agreements and a surviving inventory of chant books. The documents reveal not only Victoria’s role in curating liturgical music but also her proactive management of cathedral musicians, including hiring practices—a dimension rarely documented for Renaissance composers. By analyzing these primary sources, researchers uncover how institutional policies shaped the preservation and dissemination of sacred polyphony during the Spanish Golden Age.
