The music selections in Lamentations of Spain were all written by Spanish composers, and are all settings of various texts from the Lamentations of Jeremiah.

Almost all of the music from this concert was downloaded from the wonderful site tomasluisdevictoria.org — you should definitely check it out if you like Spanish Renaissance music!
