Born around 1500, Morales' sacred vocal works, including masses, motets, Magnificats, and Lamentations, earned him international acclaim and a reputation for exceptional harmony, rhythm, and textual expression. Described as 'the light of Spain in music' by contemporary theorists, Morales was the first Spanish composer to achieve widespread recognition across Europe.
