![]() ![]() However, as scholars now turn from mainstream histories of Australian education to specialist studies, the evidence. ![]() The manifest strength of this tradition and its embodiment by historians, has tended to obscure other, if lesser, influences on Australian education. The practice of following the British lead in education was well established in Australia by the end of the nineteenth century. Finally, the last section examines miscellaneous aspects of Victoria’s presence in Spanish music of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The fifth features four studies in the area of historiography and reception dealing with Victoria’s strong inclusion in the English choral tradition, his place in the German historiographical tradition and analyses the work of two Spanish musicologists on Victoria, both of whom spent a significant part of their lives studying the composer: Felipe Pedrell (1841-1922) and Samuel Rubio (1912-1986). The fourth discusses issues relating to his biography, especially his early years in Ávila and his late years at the Descalzas Reales monastery, as well as considering his place in the canon of Spanish sacred polyphony of his time and to what extent this canon may have conditioned his training. The third, of particular interest to performers, consists of three extensive studies examining aspects of plainchant and the liturgy in Victoria’s output, the organ in his music and the performance implications that can be deduced from an exhaustive comparative study of different sources of his works. The second is made up of various analytical approaches to his musical language and the style of his music from many different points of view including tonal structures, formal design, the use of dissonance and musical rhetoric. The first consists of studies of the sources of Victoria’s music and of works or groups of works such as his masses, motets, hymns, magnificats, psalms, antiphons, lamentations or the Officium defunctorum. These essays, half of which are in English and the other half in Spanish, have been divided into six sections. This volume of studies devoted to Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548?-1611) contains 28 articles written by distinguished specialists in sixteenth-century Spanish music in general and Victoria in particular, and several contributions by young musicologists. ![]()
