Masses and Motets

Opera and Choral Scores

4/5 ( ratings)

Despite his vast output , Giovanni de Palestrina maintained an extraordinary level of quality in his music. With Byrd and Lassus, he ranks among the greatest composers of the last sixteenth century and a study of his work is essential for serious students and scholars.
This volume contains six masses by the composer, as well as a selection of motets. Certain of the masses are "parody" masses, i.e. they are based on a motet or other works by Palestrina or another composer. In such cases, the original motet, or chant, has also been included here. The six masses are: Missa Papae Marcelli , Missa L'Homme Armé, Missa O Magnum Mysterian , Missa Ave Regina Coelorum , Missa Veni Sponsa Christi , and Missa Ascendo ad Patrem . Written for unaccompanied voices, these compositions rank among the finest works of a towering figure in early music. In this inexpensive, authoritative edition, they will be welcomed by all students and lovers of sacred music.
