# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born around 1548, Victoria was both a Catholic priest and a trained organist and singer, moving between Spain and Italy across his career. But performance didn't hold him: he chose composition, pouring his energy almost exclusively into sacred polyphonic vocal music set to Latin texts. His surviving works are narrower in scope than those of his contemporaries — no secular pieces, just liturgical scores — yet they established him as the most famous Spanish composer of the Renaissance. He died in August 1611, leaving behind music remembered especially for the intensity of his motets and his settings for the Dead and Holy Week.
