Title: Officium hebdomadae sanctae
Full Title: Thomae Ludovici de Victoria Abulensis officium hebdomadae sanctae. Permissu superiorum: Romae ex typographia Dominici Basae 1585.
Composer: Tomás Luis de Victoria
Description: A collection of music for the offices of Holy Week, including Victoria's eighteen Tenebrae Responsories, each for four voices (but with varying disposition of voices), which are among his most inspired settings of sacred texts, adhering to strict liturgical form, with six responsories for the second and third nocturns of Matins for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. They were reprinted by Carl Proske in Musica Divina Vol. IV. Proske errs when citing the original source when he prints "Romae apud Angelum Gardanum". Angelo Gardano published in Venice, while the Gardano publishing in Rome was his brother Alessandro.
Publication date and place: 1585 by Alessandro Gardano in Rome.
