The 40 Hours’ Devotion was a continual adoration of the sacrament which would take place at important times of the year such as Holy Week or Corpus Christi. The practice became popular in Italy from the 1530’s, as part of the counter-reformation, and was also taken on in Spain by Philip II, before deing spread by St Philip Neri and St Ignatius Loyola. In Elizabethan England it became associated with the underground Jesuit movement. This course will feature renaissance music by Palestrina, Lassus, Victoria, Vivanco, Tallis, Byrd etc. that will be performed over three days in various churches in Avila.
