<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Features six masses by great 16th-century composer: Missa Papae Marcelli, Missa L'Homme Arm�, four more, plus a selection of motets. Reproduced from authoritative Scalera edition, edited by Casimiri.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Despite his vast output (105 masses, over 250 motets), Giovanni de Palestrina (c. 1525-1594) 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.<br>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: <i>Missa Papae Marcelli</i> (his most famous), <i>Missa L'Homme Arm�</i>, <i>Missa O Magnum Mysterian</i> (plus motet), <i>Missa Ave Regina Coelorum</i> (plus chant), <i>Missa Veni Sponsa Christi</i> (plus motet), and <i>Missa Ascendo ad Patrem</i> (plus motet). 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.</p>
