Notes and Editorial Reviews

About this release
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina was a hugely prolific Renaissance composer. He became extremely famous and was in great demand in 16th-century Rome. Among his over 1000 mainly sacred works there are some 104 masses. They are set for four to eight a cappella vocal parts requiring no instrumental accompaniment.

Palestrina’s music has a graceful simplicity and warmth. His counterpoint even more so than Bach’s became an example to many apprentices. The composer, like many of his contemporaries, used the well-known 'L’Homme armé' tune more than once as a so-called cantus firmus – a basic melody - for his masses.

Performances by male singers of the well-known vocal Pro Cantione Antiqua, specializing in historically informed interpretations of early music, and including singers like Ian Partidge and Michael Chance.

-----

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina is one of the towering figures of the Renaissance and he ranks today as one of the great composers. His output of over 100 masses, 250 motets, and several volumes of liturgical works is remarkable even by the standards of the day. Nearly all his music was composed for the Papal choir, and the fact that he remained closely within the orbit of the Vatican marks him out as a conservative musician. However, his music moved away from the mainly contrapuntal style to one that displayed much skillful use of chordal and harmonic writing. He shunned the use of giving equal importance to words and music, preferring to set the texts in an impersonal, often quite abstract, idiom which nonetheless has a beauty of melodic line and use of harmony that few could equal.

This set of 5 CDs contains 6 Masses, including the masterpiece Missa Papae Marcelli, the Lamentations of Jeremiah the Prophet, and a Stabat Mater. These CDs are a superb introduction to the music of a great composer who dominated 16th-century Italian music.
