Abstract
Numerous testimonies document a significant presence of Tomas Luis de Victoria’s motets in Germanic territory at the end of the sixteenth century. Together with an extensive number of sources preserved in German archives, of particular note is the publication of his Cantiones sacrae (Dillingen, 1589) in this region, the only work by Victoria published outside Spain or Italy during the composer’s lifetime. In stark contrast, studies about the reception of the composer’s works north of the Alps are very scarce. The result is a picture full of gaps. By examining sources of a diverse nature, this article aims to shed light on certain aspects of this case. In particular, it will focus on identifying and discussing the earliest testimonies of the reception of these motets.

Como Victoria, se trata de un compositor extranjero, también activo en Roma, por lo que la categoría en calidad de la cual ambos autores serían objeto de recepción al norte de los Alpes pudiera parecer equiparable
El elemento principal que hace del compositor un preciado objeto de estudio es su música y debemos seguirla hasta donde quiera que fue interpretada
