Search - Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Luigi Taglioni :: Palestrina: Motets for the Blessed Virgin

Palestrina (1525-1594) is considered the greatest composer of sacred music in the 16th century. His personal faith as a Christian was expressed spontaneously in the music of the liturgy. It is therefore part of an inexhaustible lifelong creativity aimed at imbuing the ritual of the church with the ineffable mysteries and, in song, at offering to the listener the gift of participation in that exaltation. These jewels of rare beauty are revealed again and again through the passions of both performer and listener.
