Sometimes an especially intriguing person – in this case Maria of Spain, a future Holy Roman Empress – inspires a – Victoria – to produce a commensurately intriguing work . Born in 1528 to Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Isabella of Portugal, Maria was part of the most elite royal family in Europe and was a patron of the greatest musical artists of her time . After the death of her husband, Maxmillian II, Maria retired to the Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales in Madrid and had as her personal chapelmaster the inimitable Tomás Luis de Victoria . Upon her death, Victoria composed his six-voice Requiem, arguably the composer’s greatest work and a testament to Maria’s legacy .
