The inspiration for this recording was the desire of both La Maîtrise de Toulouse and Les Sacqueboutiers, the renowned Toulouse ensemble of early brass instruments, to collaborate on an original programme which would highlight the unique quality of combined children's voices and wind instruments of the Renaissance. One of the most famous works of this period, Victoria's 'Requiem' lent itself particularly well to this idea, and that a performance combining the 'niños cantorcicos', as the choristers in Spain were known, and the 'ministriles', wind players attached to cathedral churches, could create a fresh impression of the sonorities usually associated with this work. It is the centre-piece of this programme of music for a Royal Spanish funeral.
