Existing accounts of his moods and “melancholy” suggest that he was clinically depressed, which didn’t prevent him from composing both religious and secular music. Here’s Gesualdo’s sacred vocal piece for five voices, Tribulationem et dolorem inveni, composed in 1603. It was recorded in 1992 by Oxford Camerata, Jeremy Summerly conducting.

Victoria returned to Spain in 1587 but went to Rome in 1594 to attend Palestrina’s funeral. Here, from 1572, is Victoria’s motet "O magnum mysterium,” (twenty years later he would use it to compose a mass “O magnum mysterium”). The motet was written for the Matins service of Christmas. It’s performed by Oxford Camerata, Jeremy Summerly conducting. Merry Christmas!
