Religious music from different centuries. In this episode we hear two requiem masses separated by more than three centuries. Both, however, are deeply rooted in the same Roman Catholic tradition: the Missa pro defunctis by Sebastián de Vivanco (c. 1551–1622) and the Requiem by Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924).
